Thanks guys for the advice, first stop will be the exotic rental place for a big humvee for my tiny girlfriend. She probably will look right at home though. ...
Cool, I'd call places right now, but everything is closed, they all seem to close early on Sundays anyway. Some of these places charge an excess of 100 bucks a day for under 25 drivers, which is...
Hopefully someone else has done the legwork on this question already and can point me in the right direction. Anyone find a car rental agency in the Pontiac area that will rent to under 25 adults?

Dr. Claw, sorry I haven't gotten around to it, but I was busy working on the cost report for the past few days. I'll get the stuff up this week.
For those teams that are running the FSAE Special BBS rims (the ones pictured above), I've got some info on pricing that I think I'm going to use. If any of you who are running these wheels has...
DR. Claw, sorry I didnt get your IM, but I was out. I've now added your screen name to my buddy list and set you to file transfer at will, so you can do it just about any time, my computer is on...
Dr. Claw, I'll private message you my IM name, and you can send them to me. I think I have some server space to post the videos.
Dr. Claw, I'd love to see those. Post would be best, but I can do AIM as well. Just let me know.
Thanks!

Sorry Brian, I was being vague by the meaning of "bad". Yeah, I dont know the whole circumstances, but I think the crankwheel that was sent didn't quite give as good a signal as the one we made, but...
We're running an 01 R6 engine with the PE box, and we ran into the same problems others have talked about. The engine team spent numerous hours on the dyno trying to figure out all the bugs, though...
my advice is to have at least two captains, if you dont have enough people to field a hierarchial organization such as Warwick. Things change year to year, but this year we are running with three...
There is a two term design course already in the curriculum at our school, which every engineering student has to take. Projects from corporate sponsors are usually what is offered in this course,...
We've retrofitted a few of our older cars (R6 and FZR engines) with the original carbs in order to reuse some of the FI parts, and have never had trouble with them when using them for practice.
...
See if you can score class credit for the work as well, perhaps as some sort of project work credit or design credit. This will be an added incentive for students to join the effort.
Offer food...
In the past we've replaced the previous year's cars EFI with orginal carbs, in order to be able to scavenge the parts for the next year's car. The first ones were solid rear axle beasts too, and...
I really like how Michael breaks it down, well said.
I do have to say that one of the phrases I used alot this year (and probably have beaten it to death) is that God is really in the details. ...
Val, i'm from Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH.
Looks like you've got a couple different options. Good luck!
We get ours from Taylor Race Engineering, and I believe more than a handful of other schools also purchase parts from them.

I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow. Hopefully I can get into the race trailer, its covered in snow......
Sorry for the wait to those who PM'd me, I didn't have automatic notification turned...
Anyone know of a good supplier of honeywell sensors, like the wheelspeed one?
We have an old set of 4 13x6 Monocoque wheels we're looking to sell. They have a 4 bolt pattern with a 100mm BC, and are around 8 lb each. We're looking for $125 plus shipping. I'm not sure of...

Some pics would be great, thanks.
Yeah, right now we've reached the evolutionary stage where we'd like to test out different shifting systems. From here, future teams can at least use our...
Does anyone here have any experience with the electronic shifter solutions that they sell? I contacted them and they told me this model is very popular with SAE teams:
