SuspensionSuspension Suspension has been
designed in SolidWorks.
Suspension Geometry was identified using
Optimum Kinematics.
SuspensionSuspension Shocks, pushrods,
and rockers have been installed
Camber, caster, and toe has been properly
set
The rockers were designed for ideal motion ratio and linear spring rate
7
Differential Analysis Differential Analysis
The differential has been designed and
fabricated.
SolidWorks analysis will be conducted on the existing design.
8
IntakeIntake
The intake has been fabricated and
installed.
Currently we are analyzing different
restrictors designs in SolidWorks
The team will 3D print several
restrictors and test on the flow bench.
9
ExhaustExhaust
The headers has been installed on the engine and leak
tested.
The firewall is being designed to insure
the seat and fuel tank are not subject to heat produced by exhaust system.
10
AerodynamicsAerodynamics
Body panels are being fabricated using fiberglass.
Analysis will be conducted with Fluent software to calculate maximum downforce generated by diffuser.
11
BrakesBrakes
The calipers have been mounted to the uprights.
The pedals have been
fabricated & installed and master cylinders
mounted on the frame.
Hydraulic pressure has been adjusted and a
thermal analysis is being conducted on the
system.
12
Control SystemControl System The manual shifting
lever has been fabricated and
installed on the car. Force analysis for
the pneumatic shifting system has
been conducted.
MXL Strada is awaiting purchase
and will be electrically mated with ECU upon
arrival.

Pedal AssemblyPedal Assembly The pedal setup is a three pedal assembly
with a clutch, brake, gas arrangement.
Analysis has been conducted on each pedal
using SolidWorks
• The chassis design and fabrication has been
completed.
• Our team started by fabricated the current table to be level in all planes and mounting holding brackets
for the front, console, driver, and rear hoops.
• The structural members have been fabricated using hollow 4130 steel using the
following types:
• 1”x1”x0.049” Square• 1”x0.095” Round• 1”x0.065” Round• 1”x0.049” Round

Progress - SteeringProgress - Steering
The steering rack has been aligned in plane
with uprights for smooth wheel movement.
The steering rods have been fabricated and
connected to the steering knuckles on the
uprights.
The steering wheel has been located and mounted for best
possible driver ergonomics.
Progress - UprightsProgress - Uprights
The uprights have been designed, fabricated and
installed. The upper and lower A-Arms and
steering have been connected and tested.
