Week 6

Hi everyone!

 This week the team was mostly focused on dissembling the old car (after we fixed it up for a meeting with a General Motors representative) and putting the new car back to together so I didn't get to make too many new parts or get many cool pictures since most of this week was transferring parts. However, this year's car is almost finished enough to enter strength and endurance testing.

(cut some pipes to strengthen the top of the chassis)
 
(faced, drilled and used the auto lathe for the first time to make more COM Cups (and found out what their purpose is, used to hold bearings in the suspension bars))

     
(transferred over the suspension and gearbox with axles to the new car)
 

(Bad photo, but this is me taking off the bolts to the engine so we can put it on the new car)

(Took off the old accelerator so we could its cable on the new car)

 
(Cut and lathed down some pipe for the brake pedal to rotate on.)
