update please

Very cool build! Keep it up.

[skylinesteph]

WOW !

I just signed up to this forum to post in this thread, the quality of the work is nice!

The last part about your suspension project is interesting, did you do the design in CATIA V5 ? How did you measure the suspension points ? Tape measure ?

How will having a CAD of the suspension benefit you ? Couldn't you just have represented it with just a stick model and worked out the forces that way? Or is it used to do FEA analysis ?

Awesome thread !

heres more

Wow. I use solidworks everyday at/for work. the detail of that model is incredible, must have taken forever.

finishing school is the best feeling ever.

best of luck

like i've said (somewhere) i might translate my final paper into english and post it here

[MattiasJacobs]

You use Robyn right? I chatted with him briefly at skymeet last summer but had no idea it was him until after the meet... His completed work always looks amazing though.

[MarusGTR]

I hope you'll post the details of your simulation, its piquing my interest

Where do you find money for this crazy project on an engineering student budget lol!

You going ams, ikeya or whiteline bushes?

Energy suspension

And i've had some really well payed internships in the past years, but i've been working full time for a couple months now, while finishing school

Kudos on the cruise control, it would be nice to have but will it give you any worry inside? I know it would keep me wondering if it will ever act up. My old boss told me a story of his father installing cruise control on one of his cars and while driving it the thing wouldn't shut off and he drove into a field. Funny as it is since everyone was ok but still something that would keep me pondering whether installed properly or not.

right now i got a big switch with a red plastic cap thats unused, it used to be for the oldschool electronic boost controller way back when i bought the car,
i'm going to use that switch to send/cut power to the cruise control,
i already have all the parts i need, off a ka24 s13, just need to modify a couple things and machine a new throttle shaft
the biggest hurdle is the electronics of the system, my knowledge of electronics and mechanics are inversly proportionate, so i'll have it done by my tuner who is the kind of guy who absolutely loves those type of challenges
