I can tell by looking at it that that part will break. I've got a seat to visual ANSYS.

We shipped to Cali for 2 years using ABF relocubes. We built a shelf about 2.5" from the celing to put stuff on and the car and tool chests went below. The container is not long enough for a car so...

I emailed asking about available volunteering posistions about a month+ ago and have not heard back yet. I suppose I'll try again in a bit.

I honestly cannot remember. I would look at sears to see if they can get replacement parts.

We ran a Bosch 12v drill for a year or two. Once we found a place to get the transmissions and the motors individually it was pretty reasonably priced (before that we had to buy the whole drill set...

If the pedal breaks off, it likely wont hit the switch in most designs that I have seen.

Also, you don't have to be able to do 600Lbs for a full leg press. A lot of the drivers sit with their...

I could make the argument that a softer rubber side skirt that occasionally skids on the ground would not compromise the track surface because, you know, tires do that.

We were already pretty much designing to this. No yield at 400 lbs. We also set a max compliance at lockup.

If you are sitting with a fairly straight leg, I could see guys easily hitting 4-500...

I wouldn't worry about making small parts from it, but I would stay away from it for a chassis/body. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1955_Le_Mans_disaster

I helped out with some of these calculations last year. Previously we used a double-row angular contact that was packaged in a single unit and found that they were getting loose in camber fairly...

I would also try using a slide hammer instead of a come-along. The impulse helps to get things loose. It worked for some parts of ours.

3.0 is probably quite conservative. I wouldn't rely on the skidpad times though. A larger radius corner would be at faster speeds and therefore have a high downforce. It also doesn't account for...

I helped out with the calculations.

For most of our max load calculations we put half the weight of the car (with driver) on the wheel and assume coefficient of friction of 3 (Lots of down-force...

That looks much easier, we tipped ours up on the back wheels. You have to lift it much higher our way but you don't have to worry about sidewall deflection changing your numbers (if it is a...

We use the Caswell stuff on our AL tanks and it works great. If you heat up about 20deg above room temp it flows very well into all the nooks.

I still need to write a letter to our alumni: Huge Hefner

Expensive but worth it.

They have the AWD kit and the tank kit.

University of Illinois (UIUC) has used kite fabric for the last 3 years. I think the 2007 and 2009 car look pretty good. divert your eyes if you look at the 2008 car though.

I read in a race magazine (forgot which one) that F1 engines can get up to 115% with a well designed exhaust.

I would think that lathe followed by wire EDM would do nicely.

Careful, these may blow your mind.
