At this stage im still goign to be doing it. BUT, i am now entered in Dutton so have to firstly get my car ready for that and make sure it doesnt break. 3 days of motorkhanas with two drivers...well im nto expecting the gearbox and clutch to survive:(

So it will be a matter of what else i bust

Geoff, if I had the spare $$$ to buy that 25/30 it would be sitting in Ray's shop right now.. either that or I'll build my own rb30 :P

Are you going to be SAU vic race team manager? If you read the supp regs it says no in-car telemetry is allowed! have to use placards from the pits.. old skool! :) what bollocks..

Local tyrepower had a set of dunlop SP9000's in 245/35/18's, 2nd hand for $50 each.. they're WELL above the indicators, so im really stoked @ that.... Ferni is going to give me his old 265/35/18's for the rear so that should be good also.

However if anyone has a line on some road tyres in 275/35/18 that are also pretty good, lemme know, as I go through them pretty easily so having them at home in the shed (got 12 acres in officer) is no big deal :happy:

North west tyres in reservior did not have anything worth spending any $$ on....

So is this still a go'er? Who and by when do we need to pay?

The last thing your car needs is more power...just keep driving the wheels off the thing and have fun doing it. When you are doign 1:22s then you may need more power :rofl:

Dont get me wrong, I definitely can improve my driving skills... I just dont think a 1:22 at sandown is possible for my current power vs. weight of the car. I should be dropping about 10kilo's by summer tho :)

I never thought a 1.21 was possible in my car. But I kept pumping out laps and improved every visit. Lots to be said for feeling comfortable with your car and actually reaching the limits for a full lap.

Next time at Sandown i will be wearing a frock and screaming like a lunatic as i hope to have my car! As long as i go 0.1 sec faster then last time then ill be happy as the car won’t have any new/more mods. So if it goes quicker then i have improved a little...thats all i can hope for.

I have done a 1:58 at PI with pad knock off and under a yellow. So without the yellow im guessing the lap would have been a 1:52-53. With all the probs my car was having that day with popping fuses killing the ecu, everything. The yellow flag lap is as close to a clear lap i got. If Ferni and me hadn’t driven like tools when door to door with one another we both would have gone quicker again :D

So this event will be great to get more experience of the track and comfortable in the car. Even if im not allowed to go quicker then 1:55, next sprint day i should be comfortable enough in the car to go quicker then my previous best.

Not saying im a good driver...i know im a lot better then i use to be in my car as its been the same car now for over 3 years with no mods done to it. But the Sydney trip will be good as we will be able to swap cars and go for rides in one another’s cars. I always learn heaps when i drive other ppls cars or go for laps with them. Often i see where im doing things wrong from behind the steering wheel, or i see where their cars does something better then mine and i can improve. So the little bit of money I can spend on the car will be well spent as I think I know where its best spent based on seat time in another car

Sprint days make it harder to get a feel for these things. I hope that i can do a 1:22.9999 at Sandown. If i cant then im going to keep plugging away having fun trying to get there.

Very true Chris. I knocked 3.5 secs off my previous time with no rear brakes, and maybe 10rwkw's more??

I'd say a 1.23 is achievable with no more mods, just bigger nuts!

Bringing this thread back ontrack for a moment... Do they need a positive yes or no by a certain date, Is it still on (our team)? Who is committed and who is a maybe?

*raises hand* Im certainly an IN ;)

Just got back from Donnellans... got a set of 2x 2nd hand Continental Contact Sport 2's... $55 each.. bargain :wave: woo hoo

    • 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.
