I'd have to admit I fit that description pretty closely hahah, this is going to be awesomeee!

[EThirtySicks]

As a Junior Mech-E, this is fucking awesome. I wish I could have the budget capabilities you guys have when it comes time to do my senior design project.



Damn. How'd you get a hold of the turbine, out of curiosity?

yup!

The company we are working for is borrowing it. Its a quarter million dollar turbine. I doubt we'll see these becoming more common, especially with that price tag. We(the students) still only have 3 grand so most of the money gets put into rebuilding the triumph chassis, the custom driveshaft, n2 brake, and all the braided AN lines for fuel and oil. We are trying to keep the cost down on custom parts, so we are designing, evaluating, and making everything else. At the end of the day, it's a $250,000 turbine in a free car

I am just starting mechanical engineering and manufacturing and this pleases my interests like nothing ever has.

[hi its me alec]

Insanity!!

I'm a big fan of this

[Rocambolesque]

Awesome project. I'm studying ME too!

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Well. I am certainly in for this one.
