I have gone through most of the comments. Thanks to all those that appreciated the work. For those of you talking rubbish, I suggest u google formula SAE first. Then after wards, go to China and after visiting their workshop, come to Unizik Awka and do the comparism yourself. One again thanks all.

NB: by his grace, we will enter the Formula Students Competition Next year.

this is how we go and embarrass ourselves.

how is this a formula 1 car?

what are the performance stats?
how fast?
how much does it weigh?

you can't just call anything a formula 1 car

you didn't even say formula 3, OP do you know what an F1 car is?


kudos to the students, if it works then they did a great job but that is no F1 car

this is just the problem this country is facing... celebrating fetish and irrelevant achievements.. to be frank, this bois are jobless and the person that Posted this on the FP didn't think it through...
this is not a scientific or economic breakthrough,,, it's simply a project work which I believe all around this country there are millions of students doing better..

If I ride dis car make I bend.. Shu!

datguru:
It is good ooo . But is this worth celebrating in this modern age ?

This is one of the reason those white folks keep calling us monkeys. Please remove this from the front page, its a national disgrace

"Chai!!ABOMINATION!! take it away!take it away!Jonathan wat is this iron you have presented me".looks more like an offering for ogun.

[size=58pt]im crying here[/size]

Is dis keke napep or wat?

slap1:
I'm not even remotely against the project; I'm worried that at this stage of our development, a contraption like this is still celebrated by a federal university!

i wonder hw most of u here think. What do u expect from dem considering their budget and d quality of education here in Nigeria. What development are u even talking abt??

Its not revolutionary bt its a first so ntin bad if they chose to celebrate. Many Nigerians abroad have shown they can do the extra-ordinary if given the chance.

LOL. Sorry, but the tires are not wide enough. AND the tires shouldn't have treads. They obviously don't know much about racing cars apart from the shape.

majekdom2:
yea , I understand , we ought to be beyond this ...I just dont like the way they talking hard on those guys like its their fault.

It would be unfair if I picked on the guys because it's not even easy to start what they did.

majekdom2:
yes good try , the first plane does not look like the modern day boeing!

Is this crap the first racing car to be produced?.

This simply goes to show the fallen standards of the educational systems in Nigeria.

Anybody with good technical skills can fix that shii up and even do a better job with the finishings(body work)

I am an engineer, so don't think I'm bashing what I don't know.

EDITED

Ok I was a bit hard on them,
This is an okay work for a final yr project.

But guys should come on and celebrate it, like they are the first, several mech eng students have done this b4.I tink the one built by CU students even looks better.

I rest my case, nobody should quote me again

Really!

yea , it is a fallen system , what are we doin about it ? there are many young folks that will be admitted into these universities.... what do we do about their future ? or isnt that your concern too .... thats my point. would you keep bashing a disable child born disabled and trying to be creative in his disability ?anybody you keep saying ? how many are doing it or have come together like the previous guy shown on this thread . pls these guys should not be condemned for any reason. there are some critics here that dont even know the science behind motion ... they may acknowledge a yahoo boy or pipeline vandalizer over this

CityNG:




If you're going to put a product in front of the masses then you ought to be ready for criticism.

And the sad thing is that you are somebody's child, what a total and complete waste of resource from ground zero up until now.

the critiicism you have been doing since the 80's smh ....

that looks like a formula ... simile. they never said its a formula one.

This is nice but they are still following up on last two years model set by Anambra State University boys that designed one. They went to IMEC~ E competition at europe with it(demo version) and came 7th and best from an african school. Their design was world class and eye opener to Nigerian engineers. They underwent training at Innoson car manufacturing plant at Nnewi and will be going with the real version next year.

I don't understand what the debate is all about.

The project was a collosal waste of effort and resources.

If it were to be from Introductory Technology junior High students, I can understand.

But engineering students put four tires on a Keke, used Ragolis water container for a gas tank, and covered the crap with some pieces of metal put together by an imbe.cile and we are supposed to go gaga in jubilation.It is kind of stuff you see in the ghetto where kids whose parents cannot afford toys improvise to build something that would be used in a playground.

As a project, I score it an "F" because there is nothing original nor extraordinary about it. There was one olodo that put solar panels on a beat up junk VW beetle and called it a solar car. There was another one that built what he called a submarine in Lagos. Yeah! Suicide submarine for sure.

Stuff like this must be condemned so that those students will learn to use their brain next time and not freaking cut and join dumb shi.t like this. This is an embarrassment to UNIZIK's College of Engineering.
Then again, it is Nigeria where anomalies are fully integrated into the culture.

This should be moved to Jokes section. SMH.

As far as I've not seen your own achievement, nor seen you on TV...all what you wrote above is total trash! Btw, you are not in Nigeria and have no damn right to comment on what happens here. What are you doing over there? Come home and start performing magical transformation.

majekdom2:

Eya....pele o..

Like I said you are a complete waste of resource.

Smh is so teeny bopper, grow a pair son.

And as an engineer, which technological break through are you working on Sir? With all your technical skill what have you achieved...enough said..

it is a RACING car

where is that guy that said these guys cant compete internationally with their ideas ..... the guy that has been readng up and is yet to read up on this .... unproductve critics.

See as the guy serious em face 4 the nonsense sef, Agbaya

Fetish you say, please sir, tell us your area of specialization and what you can produce or you SHUT DA HECK UP...FYI they are not jobless, that is a great technological skill added to their ingenuity. They are not political thieves looting our money and sending our economy into oblivion! #peace

majekdom2:
bros , abeg no carry that matter come here , dem go start to dey para .... lols , I cant help but laugh . I think saxywale from canada reasons rightly .... he has been a dude with a great thought on the situation here compared to majority who talks down everything.

They keep saying abroad...as if its a big thing...i travel everytime and u dont brag about it and wl not look down on any african

He bias is he not.a.refugee or a.second.class.or.clad citizen there

you should ignore people like that fellow .... after criticising everything around them in nigeria an being unproductive , they start looking for a means of going abroad all in the reason that Nigeria is wack ..... they talk down everything happening in Nigeria like they are doing better . I dont listen to critics I cant learn from . they have done nothing meaningful and yet criticise the next neighbour like they can do hundred times better.

Pretty impressive....Though these guys are miles behind their western and oriental peers, they re far better than their nigerian counterparts who copy and paste projects frm other schools and still come here to criticize/mock them.
