This was installed and used very briefly on a motorcycle project that I have run out of enthusiasm for. Shipped anywhere in US or Canada for $400, comes with harness (all wires cut short, see image)...
I have a set of Carroll Smith "To Win" books and Milliken's Race Car Vehicle Dynamics including the work book that need a new home. If you are on a new team or a low budget team who does not already...
Cool looking project!
I used Miata NA hubs/uprights/brakes on my bike powered death machine. They're not the most balanced engineering solution, but they work and man they're cheap. Also 4x100 so...
Hey all,
Thank you for the kind words. I love hearing that you've enjoyed the book and that you can see some of your own team in the story.
If any of you outside of the US have ideas on how I...
Free Racecar for everyone!
The book!
Sorry, did you think I meant something else?
I finally broke even on the book (writing is a terrible way to make money. Stay in school kids!) so I'm...
No, the discount expired. You'll have to pony up the whole $10 now http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
We didn't actually use mahogany in '07, just wrote it on the spec sheet. The next year, after I left, they did the steering wheel with it, and I think the dash after that. Seems like an inefficient...
I think you will not be disappointed http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
Hey, thanks guys. I like to think I'm a good engineer and a decent writer, but I know all of jack squat about marketing, so if you like the book it would be awesome if you could send out an email or...
Thanks for the kind words everyone. I've kind of always expected a book or a made for tv movie or something about FSAE, there are so many people involved. Hopefully we can get some more books and...
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I’m back from the dead with something that you all might be interested in, and which might be also be shameless self-promotion.
One of the best things...
Wings also make the car noticeably easier to drive, though it's hard to isolate that aspect and measure its affect.
Also, I had a conversation with a rules committee member about the new aero...
Full Disclosure: I work for an electric car company.

I normally like the DIY approach but these are too cheap to not just buy. we used the unidirectional stuff on our rear wing supports in...
Anodize grows columnar out from the surface, which, as Hector pointed out, is where fatigue failure starts. The anodize is not strong in tension perpendicular to the columns, so the endurance limit...
High compression and spark advance should lead to a hole in a piston long before a thrown rod. In any case, 15:1 and 45° advance (at reasonably high revs) on an f4i shouldn't be a problem with 100...
Have fun and make friends. In three years it won't really matter what awards you won or how well you did, but you might actually enjoy yourself and make some friends that you'll have for the rest of...
First you need to understand what effective exhaust length is. I believe there is a host of valuable information in a recent thread.

There is a paper that Porsche did covering their development of the cooling system for the 911. They were mostly trying to reduce drag while meeting cooling requirements, but the results show a...
I thought the FSAE Holy Grail was a sweet job after graduation.
So when somebody is welding, and you sneak up behind them and spray brake cleaner on the weld and it erupts in a giant ball of flame, that could potentially be dangerous?
Not for that shipping cost, but thank you.
