Newbie: "I like blasting fluid all over the place!"

"Hey! Don't touch my rack!"

We just got the heads up regarding this from an alumni who's working as a shop tech in main machine shop, as the memo had already been forwarded through the Dean's office, etc. We'll see how this...

With the exception of a couple of schools, my guess would be that a lot of the them disappear and are never seen again. It primarily comes down to budget, re-using or selling off parts to fund the...

I have worked on three FSAE cars , one Baja and led a Baja team... it all depends on what you make of it. I had the most fun while in Baja (ok, I got to drive it), but had a hard time leading the...

Wow, '05 brings back some memories... I missed that year for FSAE, but I still remember hearing the news about the accident and messaging the guys I knew who were on the road to comp. That's the type...

SAE:
- lose weight
- finish the car
- get access to the 4-post shaker rig (argh, I hate politics)

Personal:
- lose weight/get fit (to increase vehicle performance of course)
- start the...

We somehow managed to complete endurance after correcting our no-start problems from Michigan. Our drivers reported 240F water temperatures at one point, cooking the oil and clutch, but managed to...

Having designed one for our 2010 car, I can offer the following suggestion:
- get the finest hole resolution possible... the vernier concept applies here to reduce size. I had 3.3 deg adjustment and...

A bit late according to our schedule, but we have a runner:
20 min shakedown on April 3rd (after a 48 hour build marathon)
45+ mins of suspension tests on April 10th

We're currently in exam mode...

Everyone taking power naps:
- in the bed of our pickup truck
- on the back floor of the pickup
- on the office waiting-room style chair/couch I pulled out the dumpster next to our shop

In the machine shop: "Is it a Baja fit or a Formula fit?"

We're moving back into our renovated shop next Tuesday. With all the work we've been doing outside the shop, our goal is to have a roller at the end of next week. There's still lots left to be...

I'd much rather be there right now... it's -15C but feels like -30 to -35C with the wind (40 mph gusts).

Guelph first appeared with the AWD car in 2004, using ATV diffs and a shaft drive setup. They placed 17th.

Ok, here's mine... I was originally planning on restoring an 87 924S, but a few things got in the way. After an Impreza and an Integra, I finally went back to my VAG roots.

mk3 Jetta Turbo Diesel...

I'll see if we can post one of our shop at the moment... but it will only serve as a 'before' shot. We just received a large donation to improve our facilities including new dynos etc. to be...

I've never understood why they don't stagger the registration times by an hour. Mind you, registering for Baja wasn't this bad last year.

- buying a used trailer 3 weeks before comp, have a fender fall off on the way to comp at 2am (2 hours into the 10 hour trip), finding it and realizing that as it was flapping around it had sliced...

So basically if we can fit a 6'4" driver through the opening we should be ok. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Thanks.

Forget this year's rule changes. I'm worried about 2009 as we have realized there's no way we can get 6 newbies build their first car in time for '08. 08 rules changes seen simple enough and can...

Bump it up... qualifies on pole at the Canadian GP!!!

I love some of these creations and look forward to meeting many of you there. I'll be arriving late Thursday/early Friday with a few team members as a reconaissance mission for a first year team to...
