Formula SAE
Hello all
My name is Steve and I'm with the University of St. Thomas Formula SAE team. I drive an '09 Ninja 250 (wrong forum, I know
) but that is not the reason I'm here. I'm here because the FSAE team I'm on uses a 2006 CBR600RR engine, and I am currently looking for one to use on our next car which should compete May 2014.
A little about FSAE. We are a group of about 10 dedicated and 20 total engineering students(not limited to engineers) who build an open wheel, open cockpit race car to compete at the Michigan International Raceway every May. Last year we performed quite poorly, due to poor time management and lack of knowledge by the entire team. This year, we have started 6 months earlier than last year, and hope to have a completely different year. Here are some pics of the car I took!

and my Ninja (high sided Sunday, broke some bones and it looks a bit different now)

Thanks for reading. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer. For now I'll be browsing around, learning as much as I can!

Welcome to the forum.
Looks like a great project. Good luck in your competitions!
Check the 600rr, parting out bikes, and parts for sale sections for an engine someone might have for sale. Ebay is also a good source.
