We blew 3 starters before we changed the set of starter gears, and then we didn't blow any. Have you guys done the same thing? For us, it seemed to do wonders.
For those of you who wondered about the strange sound of our Aprilia during endurance, we found out after the race that we had accidentaly hit the fuel starting compensation during the race and the...
Yes, Aprilia engine. I agree it looks like the intake is out of the envelope from the picture, but it is in fact just inside. Don't worry, we have already checked this. Thanks for the heads up...
Yeah, we use their pistons and valves for our pneumatic shifter.

Michael,
We would like to be able to do skid-pads and accelerations, as well as proper autocross. Indoor kartings are a lot too small for that. Also, it is not really possible to run there for a...
Hi again,
I made a list of the teams that could possibly help us. They are located in a range of 2000 km from Montreal and have a mild mean temperature for the month of March. Of course, if a...
Hello,
My team is planning to have a winter testing week during our spring break, which takes place from February 29 to March 9. Since we are in Canada, and that the weather is not really...

It's funny because our car with the Aprilia engine weighs 398lbs too...
We have used a 1/3 psi check valve before, without any problem. And there is no chance of spillage, whatsoever.
Look on Mcmaster.com. They have some.
Here are a few pictures of our own car. It was the first time that our 2008 car ran.
I'm afraid we don't have any picture of the competitors.
Thanks to the Toronto team. Great event as usual.
I was wondering if someone captured part of the endurance stream that was on the FSG website? I'd like to show it to our team's rookies so they can get a feel about what is an endurance.
Thanks a lot John for the extensive reply!
I think we're gonna go for our backup plan: a .063 al tank.
Hello,
Since the ceiling has fell on our working place (litterally), and we are not supposed to weld at school, we asked a tech to weld our 1/32" thick gas tank.
He told us it is impossible to...

With a 7000 series aluminum, you'll get a better yield and ultimate strenght, but still the same Young modulus. Therefore, there should be no difference in stiffness. If some of your teammates know...
Wow... Do you have an idea of the flex of the wheel center during acceleration and cornering?
If the race is a few weeks after Formula Student Germany, we would be interested.
And to emphasize, the "before" shot:

And before you ask, it wasn't fun.
Good thing is, the mould is ok.
We have tried to get 4130 locally this year, and every place ended up a lot more explensive than where we buy it normally, which is AED Motorsports in Indianapolis.

We got them from TAW. Good service, great price, great caliper. We used Wilwoods before and I don't think of any reason to go back.
I seem to remember we payed around $60 US each.
