Nice!

In case you were worried about the next generation of gearheads...

Here are a few pics of our FSAE car's first shakedown drive. We'll be competing in Michigan in exactly one month.

You can check us out on our blog or FB page. Would you guys be interested in a Build Thread?

Short answer, yes! Long answer, I miss my SAE project more and more every day. I also miss the 2001 PennState car I had access to, with a adjacent empty parking lot.

Shawn Jennings was at Heartland Park Topeka this past weekend with his badass 1964 Dodge Polara. He had made comments he couldn't get the car to hook at Great Bend or Wichita. He'd heard Heartland Park had returned to using VHT instead of VP traction compound and came out to give it a try. Oh, boy! Did it ever work! Check out the daylight under the driver's side rear tire.

I spent 2 hours looking at patent records and never found it. I found that he patented a car with a counter balance crank in 1886 and then in he patented the boxer engine.
Boxer engines tend to be noisier than other common engines for both intrinsic and other reasons, filters and . Boxers need no balance weights on the crankshaft. They have a characteristic smoothness throughout the rev range and offer a low centre of gravity. In the case of boxer engines with fewer than six cylinders, unbalanced moments (a reciprocating torque also known as a "rocking couple") are unavoidable due to the "opposite" cylinders being slightly out of line with each other.
I'll stick to counter balancers .

to each their own half century of original runtime.The longer the babble goes on, you know, counterbalance is a babble, a backsided halfassed thinking babble..always theorizing how to climb like the real power source in the shadows..reminds me of business, life and death...
the longer this goes I personally will make you look stupid.
have a nice day.

maybe god will evolve us to ten pound chunk on our elbows to make up for working hands.

there is no reverberation even in a skipping four cyl flat benz crank engine. mass is mass is mass. 42 pounds of round smooth inertia on the back.(I would go to 60 if I could)

a flat six has the reverberation, because 720/6 = 120. four stroke linear to a flat block..it is off by 60 degrees. That is why porsche made a crazy crank versus using the benz...(I still like the corvair more)

the engine needs a 120 degree block to be complete.
I have more problems with a clutch than a self balanced 4 cyl boxer. (the spec brand is the most awesome to date for what I am running)

a v8 could use benz..and even drop some liters.

thump it too hard and that is your own uneven theory...just like now. a 90 degree overlap, the 8 would even be smoother than the faultless four...even if it was skipping two cylinders at a time.

the patent stuff, it would have been crazy to find that benz actually got one. that would have been like microsoft keeping the number 1 as their own.

I was being Nice , but for now on I wont even read your comments.
Hell you can not even type a coherent sentence . I have replaced and rebuilt plenty of those scrap Subbies,
and you can have them all.
Just dont reply to my posts , and Ill do the same for you.

Did they come with the cab layed back and the 'aero' hood? That is so cool.
