I have a one too many projects and this one needs to go. I'm a engineering student and I accquired one of our school's old FSAE cars. Our school last raced the car in 2001. Currenly it's a complete painted frame, all 4 aluminum CNCed uprights, all 4 hubs, suspension arms, Honda VFR400 V4 400cc bike engine and the professionally-made fiberglass bodywork. THe car is chain drive with an aluminum spool rear end.
The entire car was designed by mechanical engineering students. The suspension is double wishbone front and rear is fully heim jointed and adjustable (although most of the heims were stolen for sucessive years' cars). It has coilover mountain bike inboard shocks front and rear. One of the suspension arms has had one end tube cut off, but would be easy enough to repair by anyone with a welder
The frame is fully TIG welded and made from 1-inch DOM tubing. Due to the safety concerns at the competition the frame is really overbuilt per FSAE rules. The frame is complete except the steering rack mounts have been cut off, but the orignal mount location is still there.
The car has no wheels or tires, no master cylinders, no front calipers (front uprights are made to fit wilwoods), no seat, no fuel cell, no gauges, no belts, no steering rack, no halfshafts. Halfshafts are set up to use tripod joints.
The bike the engine came from was never sold in the U.S. so parts have to come from overseas. The engine has not run in about 6 years, but the whole car has been stored inside in dry storage in the school's workshop. I have both the original carbs and custom FI intake made for the engine.
This car would make a great Autocross fun car. Not sure what class it would be in though. I had planned to put this one back together, but I really don't have the time. Looking for $500 to fund my other projects and keep the wife happy. Contact mblommel-at-hotmail dot com. Thanks, for looking.
The chassis is so light it hovers at the top of the garage......
