=March 12, 2011= The car will be showcased in the upcoming Engineering Expo at Ryerson University, where highschool students will come and visit all the various engineering teams and take a tour of Ryerson. The car has to be moved into the atrium Wednesday March 16, 2011 between 9am-5pm. The Engineering Expo will take place on March 17-18 from 10am-1pm =March 8, 2011= MEETING TONIGHT CANCELLED. We will be meeting on Wednesday March 9, 2011 at 7pm =March 7, 2011= During the meeting we managed to get the bearing specs that we need in order to modify the new motor to be able to fit the old crankshaft onto it. Also we came up with a simple "active" ventilation system for the driver so as not to cut holes in the body which would have ruined the aerodynamics of the car. This system will use the existing hole for the wheel together with a small fan and some piping to force fresh air into the cockpit.

We will be meeting next on Tuesday March 8, 2011 at 7pm to continue work with the ventilation system and seat modifications =March 5, 2011= Planned meeting for Monday March 7, 2011 at 7PM in the dungeon. On the to-do list is taking apart the motor to find a replacement bearing and get the new motor bored out to the same dimensions as the old motor. Also we need to design and build an engine cover hinge for easy access to the engine.

=Feb 27, 2011= Last day of the Canadian International Auto Show! Its been a great success for the team and for Ryerson, many people have really liked the car and we have had some very good conversations with many different people with a lot of feedback from them.

We will be taking the car out of the MTCC on Monday February 28, 2011 at around 7pm. If you are free and would like to help, email Ivan or Victor. imonroyo@ryerson.ca victor1.bobadillagarcia@ryerson.ca =Feb 25, 2011= If you haven't gotten the chance to come down to the Auto Show you should come down on the weekend, theres only 3 more days left in the show!

New tools have just come in :) -Compression Tester -Piston Ring Compressor =Feb 20, 2011= The car has received lots of attention from people at the auto show. Vincent Chan dropped by, as well as some other Ryerson students. Many people have really liked the car and theres been quite a bit of interest in the competition and the team...I think we should be getting paid for promoting Ryerson at such an event :) =Feb 18, 2011= 2011 Canadian International Auto Show opens up to the public today!! drop by our booth on level 600 near the Volkswagen play area =Feb 16, 2011= Team meeting from 7pm-12pm **OUR BOOTH AT THE 2011 CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW MUST BE SET UP BEFORE 11:59PM!!!!**

The car was fully assembled and was taken to the MTCC level 600 for display at the Auto Show.

=Feb 15, 2011= Team meeting from 7pm-11pm

During this meeting both acrylic panels got trimmed down to size and glued in placed with Loctite 5570 Elastic Adhesive. A bead of adhesive was applied to the outer perimeter to make a nice seal and to make a smooth transition to the body to minimize drag. The body was attached to the frame as well.

Things that need to be done next: -Finish glueing the middle acrylic panel to the middle carbon fiber panel -Apply the sponsor stickers to the car -Organize the wiring inside the car -Attach the seat to the car -**Set up our booth at the MTCC for the auto show!!** = **Feb 14, 2011** = Team meeting at the dungeon from 7pm-10pm

During this meeting the front acrylic panel got trimmed down to size to fit on the inside for the top-front carbon fiber piece. There was a complication with the middle piece in that the original mirror bracket was in the way and needed to be removed, which proved more complicated than expected.

Things that need to be done next: -The middle acrylic panel still needs to be trimmed and both acrylic panels need to be glued on. -The sponsor logos need to be attached to the body -The lower body needs to be attached to the frame =Feb 13, 2011. Painting Of Car Completed!= Painting of the car has just been finished. The car now has the blue and yellow colours of Ryerson, complete with a metallic finish and clear coat to make it stand out from the crowd :) We have also paid some tribute to our new sponsor //Henkel Loctite// by adding a bright red highlight of paint in the interior. The frame has been put back together as well, and is waiting to be attached to the body.

We still got a few more details to take care of before we have a complete car to showcase at the 2011 Canadian International Auto Show (CIAS). The acrylic panels need to be trimmed to fit in the top body panels, and our engine cover needs to be installed. =Jan 20, 2011. Working on painting car= We are currently working on sanding and painting the car to have it ready to display in the 2011 Canadian International Autoshow Feb. 18th.
