Assembly testAssembly testBody dimensions:
Dimensions of the car were measured: approximately
·	Height 115cm
·	Width 124cm
·	Length 280 cm
·	Track width front axle 104
·	Track width rear axle 80
·	Wheelbase 143
·	Driver’s compartment height 89cm
·	Ground clearance 10cm
Front Visibility check:
With a radius of 5m in front of the vehicle, spread out 60cm high blocks every 30º  in a half circle.Rear visibility:
Placing the rear windows measure the driver’s visibility.	The driver is able to have enough rear visibility to see if any car is behind her/himGround clearance:
Measure the ground clearance placing all the car weightSuspension alignmnet:
Before putting the wheels on for the first time we might have to check the suspension alignment - it is easier with the wheels on and the car placed on the ground with the driver inside - however the wheels still have to come off to make any major adjustments - maybe we can reach our
hands behind the wheels. We might have to do it over a few times.Wheel alignment:
The wheels are difficult to align on the hubs because of the big center hole - we will use some time to put the wheels on and try to reduce misalignments before any driving is relevant. Rolling the car on the ground might also reveal any remaining misalignments Steering alignment:
Roll and listen for any screeching during straight ahead and turning, and then try to adjust.	General Spring/Damping:
Placing the car (with the proper ground clearance adjustment) on the
ground -with and without driver- and gently or vigorously shake the car
to see how springy/stiff the suspension responds. Also includes pushing
the car down and lifting it up at each wheel to see how the suspension
responds - also with respect to camber angle changes and bump steer.Braking effectiveness:
Initial braking should be cautious to listen to how the brake pads
attack the discs, and the vibrations that are transferred to the chassis
and amplified.
Combinations of weak, gradual, hard and instant braking
with low and higher speed, as well as during turning at different radius.Rolling:
Push the car up to different speeds and see how far/long it continues to roll, maybe even vary the weight to see how much the tire rolling
friction is influenced.Turning:
Also have to observe for roll due the softness/stiffness of the springs.
A zig-zag traack was made with cones. The cones at the begining are quite far one from each other then the distance is shorten.Grip test:
With the driver inside depressing the brake pedal at varying pressure,
someone -or two- could try and push the car to roll or skid. Hopefully
we can measure the force.
Also, with the driver inside, pull or push the car sideways to, maybe
with brakes applied and the steering at different angles.Turning radius:
gradually increasing and decreasing curves (to approach static equilibrium) as well as jerky steering to see how well
the steering responds, and how much the car dives on the outer front
wheel of the curve being entered.Place the car on a 20% slope:
Outside the workshop, the slope is approximately 20%, place the car there while braking.
After checking that the car does not move push it and check if it can be easily movedBrakingBraking effectiveness:
