On the other side of the coin, it can suck when your at work and a task needs to get done quick and dirty. Gotta suppress urge to run 5 FEA passes to drop another 100 grams...
Heard that TU Graz just won design. (Congratulations!)
update: I've been told overall:
1. UWA (hooray we finally cracked it!)
2. Stuttgart
3. Munich
UWA: Dynamic events(1st),...
Please don't stop posting photos fellas, what sort of technology was on these cars? Any regenerative breaking?
With KERS suposedly coming into f1 next year there should be some pritty exciting...
Congratulations to all the teams involved!
I have to agree with Frank about management.. but a discussion for another thread perhaps.
I would really like to read some blog like posts of the...
Just received a text saying RMIT with most points in Enduro/Fuel and UWA ahead in points overall... this is unofficial 2nd hand information though!
Thanks for the update benjo, I'm sure quite a few poeple are on the edge of their seats. How does the track look compaired to the last couple of years? The lap time looks similar to 2006.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_wave & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_resonance is a start. Matlab / c code / excel can be used to create a model of the system. Think of it as a...
Jonny, roughly speaking, if the intake is so thin that it is porous, it will implode when you close the throttle at high rpm.
1. If you are limited in time, setup a fuel cut traction control map, since that will potentailly earn you alot of points in enduro/fuel. With more time, setup an ignition cut TC map for other...
One has a blue sticker and one has a red sticker.
Just so this isn't a completely worthless post:
differences: # of injector outputs, sensor input/outs etc.
All compatable with i2 analysis.
I worked breifly for the local distributor and that gave me access to some very useful training manuals. If your team has a good relationship with whoevers sponsoring your cad, ask if they can get...
Hi Kevin, I suggest you check out Ricardo Wave @ www.ricardo.com, it gets a fair amount of use here at UWA. Something that is also quite popular is gt-power at www.gtisoft.com. All of these will...
Thought I should add that it was second quickest in the practice session to cars that were built for this sort of thing and had enough gears for speeds above 130km/h.
1 Davies Craig Electric booster pump should do the job.
As people previously mentioned Helmholtz tuning theory breaks down at higher rpm, but it can be a useful tool to begin with, if only to get you thinking about system design/interactions .. and the...
Does anyone feel like filming enduro and sticking it on youtube?

Hi Eshu,
If you had taken the time to come past our pit I would have been more than happy to show you why our car was different to last years. Side by side they look quite different, and in the...
Well us at UWA have made it to the US safely, and have been working on the car all most non stop. I can't wait to see the other cars at competition this year, hopefully I'll have more time to walk...
Mike,
Use some sort of glue instead mate.
Mechanicaldan, thanks for all the links. I still don't see how these engines are useful in fsae when they are in the 50-100kg range, delivering less than 50hp. (for the 500-1000cc stuff)
I'd love...
On a similar note I would love to see E-85 offered at FSAE-A.
I love that FSAE is open for innovation in so many areas but I don't think there is much to be gained from adding diesel to the mix.
...
Stiffness to weight, lack of good welders in the team... there are lots of reasons why a team might go that way
I'm really happy to say we did a 3.7 from a good start on the accel event - great work from Adam, Morgan and Graham working on the launch control with clutch =]
Also, it seems the autocross track...
