Hey all,
I'm at university now (but my bike's 12 hours away :() and taking engineering. I've joined the Formula SAE project http://www.sae.org/students/formula.htm and am working on a few of the teams. One of the teams I'm part of is the Composites team, where we make all the parts that we can (make and afford to make) out of carbon fibre. I'm not sure if it was on this forum or not, but I remember a while back that someone made some of their parts out of carbon fibre. I need as much information on doing your own carbon fibre work as well as companies that do QUALITY work. Any information would be EXTREMELY helpful. Also, we're using a 2001 Yamaha R6 engine that we're going to convert to fuel injection. What are some good modifications for more power but aren't going to jeopardize reliability too much? Also, is it possible to turbo or supercharge this engine, so far we haven't found a way yet, but we're still wondering if it's possible. Thanks.
