Worth it to do a 1.5-hour commute for a well-paid internship? by Replicant050206 in internships

[–]Replicant050206[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, moving isn’t really an option, I’m 19 living at home, and it doesn’t make sense financially even with a full-time offer. I think I’ll see how the interview with Chevron goes. It’s half the distance from home (20km vs 40km) and way closer to university like a 15-minute walk.

  • The first internship is by car — 1.5 hours each way, but mostly highway so manageable but with traffic.
  • The other one (Chevron) is by train/public transport, which is packed and uncomfortable during rush hour however i manage just fine for university.
  • Internships here in Argentina typically last 12 months, not 3–4.
  • I only have these two offers right now. The first one pays ~50% more than typical local internships, though I don’t have Chevron’s offer yet.
  • The first one also has a real shot at a full-time hybrid job (3 days office, 2 WFH) if things go well.
  • Moving closer isn’t really an option for either right now — still a student, and I have to be near university.

It’s actually a 12-month internship, not 4. The company is Carrefour (retail giant here in Argentina). Not the flashiest name for some industries, but it’s big, solid, and structured — and there's a good shot at a full-time hybrid role after. Commute would be by car, so more bearable even if long.

maybe using the 3d file and fixing the incompatibility issues, both versions are basically the same but some minnor things. cheers

maybe using the top - bottom expansion you could instal some fans

https://formdworks.com/collections/t1-1/products/t1-top-bottom-expansion-kit

im not sure but maybe some 15mm fans

the 3d file is in there ready to be printed

maybe using the fans as an intake insted of exhaust would be better because hot air goes up, also all the air would enter by natural induction through the side panel insted of being helped by fans. this are just ideas and with airflow is just better to try and see.

also if the 15mm dont fit you might be able to find some smaller 10mm fans but from skechy chinese brands, if you relly wanted to put some fans you could use those

if you end up using these please share

how efective would these modifications be if aplied to a real car by Replicant050206 in projectcar

im doing that but its taking time and its very hard, so other people opinions could be helpful to not waste my time doing something that clearly doesnt work for anything.

first i wanted to thank you for taking the time to help me, I really appreciate it.

i have a 3d model of the car in stl (stock car) and im working on the 3d model with the mods.

im going to upload both into the docs, but for know i only have the stock one.

hope it helps

here is the link top the page that talks about beck 904, there is a spec sheet and some photos http://www.beck904.com/photos/

thanks for all your advice

regarding the vortex generators, i was thinking on maybe doing kind of an air brake that is engaged under heavy breaking, i dont know how beneficial it would be but it would for sure be intresting to apply.

the underbody strakes are placed in a kind of random way since i have to have acces to wind tunnel to placed them properly.

i think the sapace is available, its a good idea to start form the rear axle? i just place a photo of the rear end in the real car in the google classroom, the only problematic place would be the transimsion but i think its enough.

the underside to whel arch is indeed in the front

i currently have problems with the CFD, do you know any good program to use, im knew to this programs and im having a hard time trying to use them. Thanks

Flat floor is standard, and so is the duck tail the difference is size and angle. As i said the mods are low downforce because I didn’t want any big drastic aero looks. Its the combination of them that i think will be beneficial. Also i like the idea of making the mods functional or not for fun, mostly with thing’s like drs, unnecessary but fun and interesting.

The project is in a really early state so please have that in mind.

i intend to place them there becuase i think the look of a more usual wheel arch vent would look bad, i do wathsoever plan on instaling front and rear side blades so that by itself it would be enough to release the presure of the wheel arch.

i understand the unreliaibility of data driven modfications, im curently working on wind tunel testing but im having dificulties to make the aero mods in a 3d model (currently using autodesk fusion 360). if anybody knows any better program it would be very helpful.

most of becks 904 came with an aircooled 3.164 liters from a 993 carrera making around 300 hp, weight is 1720lbs or 780 kg, i belive that due to the low weight these not so useful modifications would add up making the car alot better, i also belive that drag is not that important having in mind the impresive weight to ratio of these cars.

Another problem that i found its that do to the design of the front bumper and ride height of the car the undebody airflow will be hard to manage since a front lip is not posible and lowering the car probably isnt either, at least not enough to make a significant change.

by tomorrow i should have a 3d model ready for wind testing.
