Guys,

check out the Mycron 4 kart data logger will do split times is the track has the magnetic strips in place. It will also do rpm, engine temp, speed and can get options for G force, track mapping etc etc

Anyone using the MXL Dash??

http://www.aimrace.com.au/mxlinfoc.htm

I nearly did, but then I found out that Meridian Motorsport had gotten a shipment of these little beauties in, so I bought one instead. I already have the DL1 data logger so it works out well.

What does the dash and logger cost? How many inputs. I understand it uses GPS?

The dash cost me $1600, and I think that the loggers are around the same amount. (I got mine through other sources a couple of years ago)

The DL1 logger that I have has 7 analogue inputs (4 0-5v, 3 0-12v), 4 Frequency inputs, choice of either coil or ECU based RPM inputs, lat/long G forces, GPS track mapping, sector/lap times, GPS speed. There is also a DL2 data logger available that has a higher resolution GPS sensor (5 Hz vs. 20 Hz) twice the number of inputs and a few other features.

The dash unit will display any inputs being logged by the DL1 unit, as well as having it's own 4 0 -15v Analogue inputs, rpm/speed inputs, odo/trip meter plus inputs for indicators, lights and other warning lights.

Looks nice mate, have you put it in yet??

I was looking at the MXL's at meridian and was quite impressed. Pricey, but look like they do a nice job, and when you factor in selling off my current DEFI guages and not having to buy a lap timer/logger it doesn't work out ot be too bad... still painful though!

Troy, I saw the MXL Track which has everything needed for about $1800 US

Stephens is way better. But over twice the price of mine.

US$1800 is still a lot of coin. I find the MyChron3 Gold enough for me for less money. Doesnt look as good though...but the MyChron is more compact which is a big thing when it comes to installing the bastards

I've had the DL1 for a few years now, and I think that it was very much worth the expenditure. I'm in the process of installing the dash at the moment, and will have it running at DECA so I'll know more about it then, but so far it looks good.

Yeah, not cheap by any means...

Do you like the Mychron 3?? Does it have the ability to monitor temps etc??

Yeh, i have two identical sensors for air temp before the intercooler and at the trottle body wired up to one channel. That way i can switch between the two, though typically i leave it on inlet manifold temp. The oither channels i have wired up for oil temp, oil pressure and boost. On top of that you get lap timer, and the udual rpm, speed etc.

Its not as good as Stephens, but it is cheaper and does what i need it to do.

I didn't know it had the ability to monitor boost as well, that's great!

The way I see it is if I sell of my Defi link guages I'll make a fair bit of money back off of them, enough to warrant purchasing some sort of digi dash, just want to make sure that they can monitor everything I do now, which is Oil temp/pressure, water temp and boost.

I take it yours is similar to this, but the Gold instead of Extreme?

And can yours be hooked up to the battery rather than using internal batteries??

Yeh, wired up to the car's battery.

If you are really on the hunt, you can have a look at mine at DECA, then look at Stephens and see how much better his is. Maninly because it has 4 wheel speed sensors, mine only one so not so easy to detect wheelspin and brake lock ups etc. Plus things like sterring angle, brake line pressure etc

Thats for PalmOS, do you know of a PocketPC version?

I was looking for a PocketPC version when i found that. Unfortunately i never found anything useful for pocketpc.

I've been planning to write something for pocketpc but I'm too lazy. I'll let you know if i ever give it a try.

I'm biting the bullet and will order one of these puppies. Its a GPS based performance tool designed for cyclists. Have done a bit of research and apparently there are a few motorbikers using these with good results.

Can get them delivered for ~$260.00 :)

In the link below the jpegs show the data recorded, and you'll notice top speeds over 200km/h!. It registers laptimes down to 100ths but I'm sure there is interpolation involved. Over all it seems to offer a whole bunch of the drift box functions, including mapping, time and speed for specified distance, etc...

Anyone else tried these?

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
