I hear the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is pretty nice. It's much less crowded than the South Rim where the majority of people go. Seems with your route you'd already be on that side.

The Brembo calipers we got from TAW this year were $70 each. That's not a bad price at all in my book.

I did learn my lesson the hard way. In some what of a lame defense, I believe it was a phone call that had distracted me from finishing putting on all the nuts. Regardless, I should have double...

The oil cooler lines on second generation RX-7s are notorious for eventually leaking. Mine eventually started leaking, so I ordered a new pair. Changing them can be a bit of a pain in the arse. ...

Teams will spend whatever they have on whatever they are allowed to develop. Trying to cut costs isn't going to work. This is F1, which is supposedly the pinnacle of motorsport, and they're trying...

Yeah, bikebandit.com is a huge help. I've used it to look at hubs as well.

And actually, I have gone through looking at diffs one by one. I knew the certain range of what I was looking for,...

I've found when researching various ATV diffs that www.bikebandit.com is a big help. They have expanded parts diagrams that will usually be detailed enough for you to see what kind of differential...

University of South Florida - 392 lbs.

Overall - not so hot. We had engine troubles that kept us out of Friday's events, got them fixed and dropped out on our fourth lap of endurance because of...

A rough guesstimate would be between $15,000 and $20,000. We do get a lot of discounts and donated material, but if you add up everything that was used throughout the year and the real costs of...

The weather is supposed to improve tomorrow and Saturday, but there were many times today when I wondered why we chose Detroit over California.

Thus continues the tradition of cold, damp weather...

We're definitely considering it. If it does end up being the end of April, that may cause problems with us for finals week, but I think it'd be worth it.

Our Red Bull folks took us to Tampa Bay Grand Prix last fall for a night of karting. Good times.

Yes, you pay because the intent is to train you. Don't you also get seat time in the cars, or am I thinking of something else?

If you're running ATV hubs, Douglas wheels are cheap. They should have what you need, at least in 10", as that's what we use. We had Douglas wheels last year. Pretty? No. Did it get the job...

We (USF) were weighed in at 402 lb.

We've always used aluminum sheet held in place with tabs welded to the frame and #10-32 screws and nuts. It works well for us.

Yeah, they do. But the only rain tires they have are 19.5". We would prefer 18", but may have to go with the Hoosier wets that are available.

I goofed my original post, the subject said Rain...

Goodyear is out of the 10" tire business. We're in need of some rain tires, preferably 18x6.5x10. If anybody has any please let me know.

Gabi,

Price is only a portion of the final cost score. Out of the 100 points for the cost event, only 30 of that is based on the final price of the car. The rest is based on the report, process...

We use either a cutter in the lathe or take the tube over to the bench grinder. Sometimes, when something is required to be in a jig, we'll touch it up with the Dremel to avoid taking it in and out...

William is an incredibly nice guy. I met him at the Motorsports Engineering conference in December. He was extremely helpful in answereing any questions I came up with and providing info.

The...

Who has committed to going? We're thinking about going, but not sure just yet.

We had no problems with the gearbox in our Cannondale single cylinder last year. Our main issue was a charging issue, but that's another story.

Oh, we'll definitely be at Big Buck.

Oh, nothing is wrong with the P32. That's what I'm using. I was just stating why not request a copy. The following sentence was nothing more than rambling about how some people would say "You...
