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.

Colorado State gearbox – very cool.



Concordia


Cornell – note the silver box for electronic wastegate control

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.

I dont have pictures of ETS but i have video files ... although ... maybe i could do a capture screen ...

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.

here is a pic of the ETS front Suspension without the nose
This is an ETS variable intake

[rotor]

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

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

[Matt Gignac]

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.
