i just started a thread before about a race i had. it was closed because were not alloud to talk about drag racing apparently...??? i never said in the thread that it was on the street... i did that on purpose because everyone expects that its always on suburban roads.

so just asking, is anyone alloud to talk about drags? or are we only alloud to talk about hyperthetical drags like always goes on in this forum? always asking, "will i beat this car with these mods" and people reply yes or no but no one every finds out. even if those people have certain mods its up to the driver.

so to cut it short... are we aloud to talk about any type of drag that actual took place? maybe if i replaced me driver with a "mate" that was driving the thread wouldnt of closed. or we are all forbidden to talk about drags unless its "make believe"?

OORRRRR are we only alloud to compare 1/4 mile times and 60ft times on paper with other cars that proberly werent even there on the same night....

word to ya mother :D:spank::D:3some::angry:

If we didn’t get so many p plater tools coming on here saying omg bro I full chopped this sick wrx or what do I need to beat this LS1 as I got burnt by a couple a few nights ago on the streets, my pride has been hurt and I need to get it back pfft

There is an official drag area on these forums for a reason, if you bothered to search you would have found it. Having the odd squirt at the lights is all fun and good with no one else around but I hear quite often about some tool racing a wrx weaving through traffic at high speeds... I am just waiting for those people to appear on the news either in a hooning segment or a another skyline has crashed let’s ban everyone under 25 from driving them... */end rant*

If its not on a track we don't really wanna hear about it here. Its tools like you that give us all a bad name...

The forum has an intergrity to protect as well

I don't think theres any need for personal attacks... give him the benifit of the doubt first...

i think as long as your not coming across bragging about doing stupid things then you're generally ok... i didn't read your post... maybe pm the mods of the section that deleted it to ask them what they didn't like so you don't post like that again...

second time ive said it, it wasnt on the streets!!! geezzzzzus

and ive now relised its my fault i should of posted in the drag section.

also everyone likes to flame alot before they even read the post too.

purpose of the thread before about the drag is i thought i did alright to keep up with the xr8 and i was just asking if i could of won with maybe better tyres or a better launch thats all. it was an honest question about tuning my car to get that little bit faster

I dont mind people starting threads talking about drag racing thats in a controlled enviroment, its just street drag racing is what annoys me.

My hatred is fuelled further, when the thread starter, brags about how cool he is, because he beat a <Insert car here> at a set of traffic lights.

The secound rule about street racing is there is no such thing as street racing...

Anyhow... dude, your other thread comes across as street racing plain and simple.

If i was mod of this section, i would have locked it aswell.

And car "X" vs car "Y" threads arent tolerated here, and thats what the other thread is almost aswell.

as if it is duncan

you sit there looking @ your speedo ... with "from 100km/h" on a 1/4mile run?

i dont think so

^^^exactly, how many ppl actually look at their speedo down the strip?? omg im doing 100kph, then so is the ford!

geez, street racing does NOT mean drag racing, and it aint cool.

wasent at a proper "paid" to get in drag strip, in my town we have a closed down small air strip that not many people know about, which is soon going to be ripped down and houses going up.

also i thought people wouldnt mind talking about drags or races because its a type of sport and a lust for power.

^^ that they take to officially controlled events..

Carefuly where you race, especailly when you are in the middle of nowhere.. If something happened - and it can.. you'd be in some serious shit.. and you wonder why people criticise your posts..

you say "I wasn't street racing" well - sorry.. not much difference between what you were doing and on the street racing..

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
