Thread: More pics from FSAE Detroit 2004

  1. #1
    These are some pictures from Detroit 2004. If you have some more please post them. I can host them if someone needs me to.
    I already posted some pictures of our car.

    Akron's Uprights – Our very own Travis made these for them in exchange for some stuff


    CSUN – I liked the rear end


    Carleton upright


    Carleton tripod housing on wheel center


    Carleton Wheel centers


    Carleton Wheel


    Colorado State gearbox – very cool.



    Concordia


    Cornell – note the silver box for electronic wastegate control


    Day 1 from our pit area – sunny and dry


    ETS – one of my favorite cars
    I would like to see some more pictures of this car if anyone else is willing to share

    North Carolina State

    Another one of my favorites. Thanks to Lyn for taking some time to talk to me about adhesives and foamed aluminum.




    U of Kansas


    USC clever variable intake system – however the actuation was questionable. Maybe someone talked to them and could explain.


    UTA


    Trick carbon fiber wheels



    UWA rear bulkhead


    Sweet radiator art. We talked to these guys for a while but I can't remember which team it was.

    James,

    I think the USC car was the one I saw on the dyno. It was operated by engine vacuum acting against some springs. It appeared to work backwards, though, with the runners getting longer as full throttle engine speed increased.

    Maybe somebody from USC can help me out with this.

    that quality of the ETS car in those pics is amazing. It also apears to be a one peice monocoque, how the hell have they done that seing as it has reverse tapers on the shape so you cant pull it out from the back??

    ps thanks for the great photos James, everyone over here has been eagerly waiting on pics from the US

    It's been done in two parts (left and right). I saw the molds.

    No, sorry, I only saw them... The mold were made with carbon fibre also and they used the infusion technique with vacuum bagging.

    The guys from ETS told me that it was done in two molds, top and bottom. Then again I might be mistaken.

    And the intake is ETS too.

    Pretty sweet car altogether, well worth the two years put into it.
