Congratulations to Monash, you guys have been knocking on the door of an overall win for years. No doubt well-deserved!

Sorry to hear about your Enduro DNF's Auckland, but it's great to hear your...

We had Coopers (THE brewery in South Australia) sponsor our team in 2004 and 2005 I believe, and I think all they gave was beer for our events. I remember in 2006 we had 6pm beers at the shed since...

I'm loving your approach to your 2009 car Auckland. No doubt it's still in the "infancy" stage compared to some multi-year drivetrain development projects going on at other universities, but without...

So it's less than a week until the start of FSAE-A 2009 and there's been barely a peep in the Competitions forum, so I thought I'd kick things off.

How are teams going with their preparations? If...

University of Adelaide had an infinitely variable intake manifold (made from SLS Nylon rapid-prototype material) in 2005. Dunno if this was the first. We had RP intake manifolds from 2003 to 2008. ...

UARC's 2006 and 2007 car (same exhaust) had 1.2mm wall thickness mild steel exhaust. The material was a BHP product called "Ezyform" I believe. There was only one place in Adelaide who would bend...

Wow guys, looks like an awesome event! Well done. That location is superb with that backdrop, and it looks like you have some good support from companies/businesses too.

Yeah it was a bit of a let-down considering 3 of the last 4 cars had to pull out, would have been a close second stint between Helsinki, Delft and Stuttgart, all three were lapping pretty similar...

Just got back from Hockenheim, and I gotta say I was blown away by how awesome this event is! The venue, the setup, the quality of teams, everything was top notch, it's a credit to the FSG...

I'm off to FSG today, just about to leave. Should be good, my first FSG as a spectator, hopefully it's all it's cracked up to be!

Good to hear UWA is in Design Finals and RMIT were able to make...

Adelaide's 2007 and 2008 cars had a setup like this with two different engines - the F4i in 2007 and the RXV550 in 2008.

We stressed the engine quite a bit in 2007 but used a tube frame to connect...

Not to mention teams that attend FSAE-A generally have to travel a helluva lot further to get there... Competing is becoming pretty damn expensive, and you still have to build the car!

Damn that's sad to hear Deakin, your sidewinders have always brought a flavour of originality to FSAE-A! Hopefully a two-year project can work out for your team and you can come back bigger and...

I have some info on our 2007 front upright from an old report. Weight was around 800g, 4130/4140 steel TIG welded, I think the bearings were 90mm OD.

FEA results under 1.7g cornering plus 1g...

Hey Dave, how's things going back in the UARC shed mate?

Anyways, I'm pretty sure I remember that NTS Tooling in Pooraka do EDM, if not they might be able to help out some other way. Might be...

I've been living here in Germany (Munich) for a couple months now, and unless you have perfectly fluent business German then you don't have a chance with BMW or Audi. And Mercedes aren't hiring at...

Well, there's the usual rod-ends in bending... that's usually a given with these puzzles!

Is it just me, or would that toe link hit the ARB arm above it under full droop? The outboard mount for...

No matter what time of year it is, unless you start designing before the competition then you still have the same amount of time. Every year I've been involved, the summer post-comp was the time to...

One other thing - Big thanks to UWA for lending the Adelaide guys an ICM for the enduro!



Since there's usually only around 30 entrants, Endurance has two separate heats. If you DNF the first...

Awesome pics Thai!

Yeah RMIT's electric car was quite surreal... Apparently they get 20min out of a charge, it was great to see them demo out on the track.

MH - Yes, that is a flat on the RMIT car. The pic was...

Righto, all my pics are here (host needs to moderate them before these links will work):

Hey all,

I just flew back into Adelaide, it was interesting being a spectator this year. I haven't heard many results yet other than provisional overall rankings... From what I gathered from...

Damn Kirby, beat me to it!

Good luck to all teams competing this year, hopefully we get some nice updates coming. UWA's website has a daily update blog-type thing going.

And as always, go...
