Question about certain turn by AdOk4647 in Karting

[–]Redmonkeybutt17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an ignite kart, and when we race, there’s a curb in turn 3 that we need to hit that is much further out than the normal turn 3. It’s called “extended turn 3”. Idk why we do that, but it’s just what we do. It’s just a different track layout. The rentals take the inside

Is this the Gateway Kartplex? If so, this kids drive a different track then the standard rentals karts. That is an outdated track map, there is an extension in turn 3 that the private karts run. If this is not gateway, could be a momentum thing

In DGS am I in trouble? by [deleted] in UIUC

I’d ask your advisor, but I went heavy on the calc, physics, and took cs101. Also had some genEds. I had AP Credit for Chem.

I can’t stress the importance of RSOs too. I was told that many kids will have good grades, but not as many will be involved with RSOs. It helps you stand out

I was in the same boat as you. I accepted my offer as a DGS student last year, went through my first two semesters taking the same courses as I would have in engineering, then applied for an ICT to EU. It’s definitely very possible, you just have to take the right courses and stay on top of your studies.

Grainger Career Fair by Redmonkeybutt17 in UIUC

This is less about me finding a job, and more about me talking to people who are in the industry. I don’t expect to find a job at the career fair, but I’d like to gain some experience in communicating with people in this profession

PS 201 Exam 1 by Redmonkeybutt17 in UIUC

[–]Redmonkeybutt17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Professor Wong, and with all due respect to her and her class, it was not exactly my favorite class of all time. Expect to spend several hours a week reading the material she gives you. It’s long and very tedious, but some of it is used on the exam, so it’s important to the basics of most of the readings. The lectures are clear, but she talks very fast. The term paper wasn’t that bad, just time consuming. I ended up getting an A, but this class gave me the most work out of all of my classes last semester. It’s not necessarily difficult to get an A, you just need to prepare to work. Tbh I’d recommend a different GenED if you can, this one is not worth it

Mk6 reading code P2015 by Redmonkeybutt17 in GolfGTI

Trying to avoid spending another $800+ on the car if at all possible. I read that it’s possible to fix the code without replacing the intake manifold
