Simonsen and White both had an Off in one of the stages today.

Thursday, 19 April, 2007 12.57PM

902 - Simonsen / Searcy - Off on TS13 Weldborough Pass - 8.4km - crew are OK

934 - White / White - Off on TS13 Weldbourgh Pass - 11.2km - crew are OK

Jeff getting faster in the Evo according to what results are available.

The Skelta is also out with mechanical dramas.

I have a gripe though.... BOOO to the Targa Tasmania website for not having bigger pictures available on the website.

This is the best I can get of Jeff in action.

Results page down whilst they do some work on it.

Current feelings from Jeff is that the car isn't as fast for him as the GTR.

Current placings as far as I can work out from non-confirmed times this afternoon is about 14th.

More when the results come in.

IT WAS FANTASTIC!! :)

Three more days to go!! ;)

That's all i've got time for, nice update Pete!

You suck!! :P

What kind of post is that! :laughing-smiley-014:

How about a quick run down of how you are doing for all us minions back here in Melbourne! :(

Glad you are enjoying it and well done on the Hulk!

Okay report.

Jeff and 3 or 4 other Evos broke their front diffs on the same jump today.

Apparently one wheel lands on the dirt, one on the tarmac, and if you get a little bit of air underneath you the revs flair for a split second, at the same time the diff's lock up via the computers, and when you land, one side wants to spin, one doesn't and BANG.

So they spent the rest of the day driving on the rear diff only.

An Evo driving on its rear diff, is like a GTR trying to drive on it's front diff. Not fast....

New diff going in now and should be ready for tomorrow.

Current position, about 22nd.

BASS OUT

But isn't that what a rally car should do in a normal day's work?? - Get loads of air and cover all types of surfaces? Hmmm....

So what you ar trying to say is that when the cars talents run out all EVO drivers show why they needed and EVO in the 1st place?

Now thats funny!!!!!! :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

Oh and WRX FTW!!!! :)

Hey ppls.

Well a quick wrap up.

Jeff had the diff replaced that night and was back on track the next morning.

However, placing 60th all day Saturday didn't help his position and driving the wheels off it on Sunday was pointless.

Positions in the 30s during Sunday reflected this.

So, 23rd outright for Jeff. I think that would have been his worst result in 14 years of Targa.

I'm sure Jeff will come on SAU during this week and give a bit of a wrap up.

Well done to Jeff for not leaving the track !!!

Maybe next year he'll be back in a GTR again..........

BASS OUT

Congrats to Jeff as always :)

Just goes to show that 'teh Beable GTR can nevar lose'... esp to a Beable Evo hehe

He had a quick chat/mention about it last year, I don't see why he wouldn't this year.. otherwise we'll just have to beat it out of him :P

    • 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.
