If a vehicle breaks down, or suffers a crash of some sort. I have seen Mr Royce walk up and tear scrutineering sticker off the vehicle...
Yes, this will work.
We made a pad, hung steel wires from 4 corners. Put car on pad and rotated, timed the pendulum swing/rotation, record and was able to calculate moment of inertia.
There's...

I'm still waiting for my copy since purchasing it 1 month ago. I'm catching a flight on Monday and was hoping to have a book to read.
Sounds like a great read. Are there pictures? Maybe somebody...
I agree, that if you were at comp needing dyno tune, then you have some issues.
If I remember correctly, at FSAE in Michigan, teams had a choice when they could do a dyno run. The smart teams run...
Could you be out braking your engine causing chain chatter? Dial brake bias towards the front and see how severe the 'wobbling' is.
Slipper clutch?

Nimish,
It's good that you recognise some of the issues with vaporisation pressure in oil, but would this be your limiting factor?
You scaveng oil into a reservoir, it will be full of air or be...
Hi Ninish,
Generally, it's better to have higher capacities when it comes to sizing pumps like this. It's easier to reduce the flowrate or pressure than to increase it.
The question you have to...
Brian,
I think you're right.
The pattern is out of a 05 CBR RR engine if I'm not mistaken.
Cheers,

Rolled our shift barrel in ink to make the imprint, the left is the OEM, the right is our modified pattern to obtain a N-1-2-3-4 pattern.
You'll notice we didn't use the OEM 1-2-3-4, if I remember...
Hi Malcom,
I'll let you determine what constitutes a significant effect. But some things to consider:
- Will the driver notice an affect? Consciously or sub consciously?
- Will my diff choice...
Try building a chassis with round solid bar... the model would weigh a lot, but at least air can't go through the tube http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Looks good,
I take it, the cream coloured diff holder connects to the engine? What material have you selected for this task?
Why are the brake calipers where you positioned them? What was the...
I would love to see teams from China join the Australian competition.

Surpised no body has mentioned RMIT, one of the very few cars that can win endurance + fuel economy.
Cutting fuel earns fuel economy points...
*yawn...*
Boring, bring on the flames!

Yes, it is a waste of resource if your part doesn't give a desired output. But as the engineer, you can find out why your output didn't behave the way it should and try rectify it and hopefully learn...

This should answer your first questions.
Now for your second question, it depends on your resources, mainly time.
Ideally, you'd test...
I don't disagree with what has been said above.
Maybe the committee made the change to cater for slower cars that actually do finish the race as oppose to being quick but not finish.
One year I...
Fuel cut?
You can be accurate with tolerences as you'd like. It boils down to manufacturing method and assembly.
You can design accuracy into your pickup points in numerous ways. Shims, threaded...
