The torque is actually a good thing for us. However you are certingly correct about the uneven intake flow into the engine due to the single cylinder.



I'm not a supporter of the single cylinder, the decision to use a single was made last year. we put some bolt ons and stuff hoping to get more power. The effects of the large changes in pressure waves can be compensated by using a huge intake chamber/runner volume at the sacrafice of throttle response.



Next year they will move back to a 500 cc 4, or maybe some sort of V-twin.

 

electrical tape mount for the radiator? nice.



our car is getting just as ghetto every day. we'll have to clean up these little "tweaks" and "mods" before comeptiton.



looking good. did yall invest in a carbon fiber company before this year...

 

oh yeah, our car ended up costing around $18000. that's $3000 less than our car last year. and we weight 30 lbs less than last year. i'm happy about that.



today we are going to tune the suspension on a skidpad.

 

are those aluminum MMC brake discs?



large crush zone. they dont exactly define what the crush zone has to be made from, we we made it out of 3/8" x 0.035 wall chromoly tubing. haha, it's light. we're going experiments to see how much "crash" energy they absorb.

 

haha, that is just for mock up, we will make a mount for it later.

 

we use some sort of aluminum foam infront of the brace. The tubes are thin wall aluminum.



Yes they are MMC aluminum brake rotors, the trade name is Duralcan, we are sponsored heavily by alcan. Before they changed the rules for the rear roll bar being made out of the heavy *** mild steel our car was 315 lbs 7000 series aluminum.

 

steering wheel reminds me of darth vader, gauges kind of look
