Yeah was the interclub supersprint (Im with the southern sporting, and its with the wrx, hsv, alfa clubs too)

Yeah im pretty happy with it! Ive only owned the car for 5 days!

When I get used to it, yeah times will drop! :P

Was a good day today Chris.

I managed to destroy an engine after lunch. Didnt spin bearings this time but instead melted a piston just for something different. Looking like an injector problem.

Its all out and stripped now will get a new set of pistons tommorrow and throw it back together ready for wakefield.

Looking at the times from today Greg and I both did our quickest time during our little race in the 3rd session lap 10. Which is kinda annoying as my car had more in it once the tires and brakes were settled. We needed one more flying lap per session.

Im very impressed with how reliable Gregs car is when he's not getting the mud out of the guards at EC.

He had a great battle with an Evo in the last session! .............and of course came out in front

Ahh see I was lucky enough to learn racing in a car where braking was optional.....it really changes how you think about braking. It will definately teach you how to make the most of what you have available.

Sorry to hear brad....better get it fixed and back out there! Serve you right for having too much power tho. And c'mon you both got beaten by a filthy cheater evo, and the commodore ahead of you both better be an ex super-taxi. It funny how all the alfas come last, goes to show how far club cars have come in the last 15 years.

Yeah Warren can steer that EVO. That comodore is actually an old VH!!

Mine was making stuff all power. It was running 1.1 bar all morning.

I was planning to use the engine properly in the afternoon sessions but it didnt happen. It would have been around 150Kw or so short of its potential in the morning. and undeersteering like a bitch. (you know the problem I have with that atm)

It'll be fixed by next weekend Duncan. Its all out and stripped in the garage now.

The 15 has always been reliable. Mainly because its very very basic, virtually stock with a big turbo. He keeps the revs low and it lasts.

Ouch Brad, thats no good :)

Sorry to hear mate, as I was heading out for session 4 or 5 I saw you were packing up, came back and you guys had gone.

Next round is OP south yeah?

Holy shit brad! i got an n1 block/crank if you need one its been machined tho, can talk about it if you want.

i wont be bringing mine over anytime soon now. Gabby's given me 3-4 weeks till i have it back. i might do something about cams now..

What do you think would be ideal in the way of cams?

i already have bought, Supertech springs/titanium retainers, supertech valve guides,

i would like to go a fairly big lift. 10mm-11mm but want the easiest and best option without spending money on buckets or whatever is needed with larger cams.

Mick, when did you get the 34??

i can vouch for the little MX5, great little car and looks great out on the track thru the corners.

Yeah sorry to hear you had engine issues Brad and had to call it a day early! Congrats on some bloody quick times to you n Greg... you guys times are my bench mark... but was happy with my 1st outing in the silvia. Already planning the shopping list to beat the 1:22 from Sunday!!

Ando your car looked great going round and round :banana:

The blue and black works well together!

wtf ... u were there??? Where?? When?? Why?? LOL\

Yes it did go round n round n round... still waiting for any pics from the day :)

Thanks Ando. It should have been significantly quicker according to the AIM data logger but we didnt really get to have a good go at it. There's always next time though.

Are you coming down to wakefield with us in two weeks??

I bought the DVD from our photographer. If you didnt I can get Jess to email any good ones to you.

Sheesh so what sort of times 'should' you be punching out at GP? 1:15's?? Thats stoopidly quick...

Mate i would love too but i think i am going to save the money and go for the Bozman driver training day in May... Jess was saying its worth while since i have never had an official 'training' at all... just get out and give it go so far... but i cant even heal-toe.. lol... so im sure a full day with some training would do me a world of good!!

Of course i was there :banana:

Spent most of the day at turn 12 watching people oversteer :D

    • 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.
