We had a 2:1 internal reduction ratio, and then our 1st gear was about 2.8:1 I think. Pretty similar to an F4i.

If someone from Waterloo wants to pipe up, I know that a couple years ago they got Jim from Cycle Improvements to stuff the ports on an F4i. Apparenly with reasonable success, but maybe not worth...
It all depends on your models. If you think ahead and plan your models efficiently it will take less computing power and memory. Don't use 100 features when you could have made it with 10. I find...
I was on Carleton University's team last year and we used an RK 420 MXZ chain on 13/40 sprockets. If I remember correctly it was only about 60-70 links long. We saved quite a bit of space and...
I think it would be wild to have an oval event run like a qualifying session. Something like a warm up lap or 2 followed by a timed lap or 2. Let 2 drivers get a crack at it, and take the best...
Is there anything specifically that you want from it?
I'd like to thank Craig Taylor as well. He was very generous at 2004 competition when we (Carleton U) grenaded a tripod and half-shaft... somehow!
Yeah, what's going on here?
How do you guys make your frames? More specifically, what do you use to notch your tubes?
Since we use relatively small tube and very thin wall sections, I'm curious as to the method that people...

You are welcome to tour our humble FSAE 'shop' and chat with us. We do not have an ideal FSAE program set up, but we can definitely tell you the defficiencies.
email me if you are interested:...
Don't know if they do bulk orders, but sprockets are pretty cheap.
Phone up these guys, they only manufacture rear sprockets in house, but they can order some wacky sized drive sprockets. Prepare to wait 6-8 weeks though.

A roll cage should never be used without a helmet and harness. You will do more damage hitting the cage with your bare head.

I know other teams have removed gears in their boxes, but other than that I don't know. Our team has never tried that yet. Hopefully we will soon.
I suppose you could machine the dogs to modify...
I will have a look this weekend, I can't remember. $70 sounds a bit low, but we'll see. Contact me by email and I can get you the specs: jonweir@engsoc.org
I've seen this photo elsewhere and others were saying that its a tall club driver who bought this car 2nd hand, and then had the tub lengthened so he can fit in it.
He was coming out of Turn 6...
1990 Nissan 240sx. I'm not lucky enough to afford an SR20DET... yet.
I've just thrown in a short shifter, cat back exhaust, K&N filter, and some R-comps and she's teaching me how to autocross.
