SHE PUUUUUUUURRRRRRRSSSSSS WOOO HOOO!!!!!(with pics and vid)
 

So as some of you may know, I have been spending the majority of my time since before NEBF wiring a Formula SAE car. and today it finally paid off....she started and idled smoother than ever. Not even a hickup or choke or small backfire while starting. (which is pretty common for these motors for what we change)

i am PUMPED. I am taking my roomies cam to the unveiling which is at 4/4:30. So I should have pictures in the next few days if not tonight.

SUCCESS FEELS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD.

I have been up since thrus 7am so I could go to class all thrusday and work on the car until about 20 minutes ago to be ready for unveiling. Time for a shower since this is my first time back to my room since thrusday afternoon.

WOOOT WOOT

Oh it felt great.

Not sure if my roomie's camera does video. I'll see what I can do.

Man, I wish our school took part in the Formula SAE Comp. A few of us tried to get it started for our senior design project, but to no avail..... Best we have is the supermilage comp.

And congrats on the car completion :D

Oh man, you do FSAE?! I do SAE Mini Baja at my school, worked my way up to co-captain the team next year, even though I'll only be a measly second-year student.

There's not much wiring for us, and Baja is good because it doesn't take all that much money to do it: the school administration gives us very little aside from shop use, but this situation may be improving soon.

Our car in action :D



targets for next year:
- at minimum a high/low gearbox to replace the CVT, maybe a 5-speed
- refinement (we're reusing the frame) - weight reduction, etc
- floatation (we do the Baja East competition) - have it float a little higher in the water, re-do water propulsion accordingly

Good stuff on the baja SAE comp. There is a club here that does that also.

A little late but here are some pictures and a video. All are taken with my room mates camera which I am not really used to yet, so excuse the quality and any wierd stuff.
