Hi all.

For those of you who have competed in Targa Tasmania, what was involved in preparing your car?

I'm investigating competing in Targa Tassie 08 in the rookie rallye section and just need to work out the costs of preparing my current road going car.

I guess i need a half roll cage, driver+navigator harnesses, toe hooks front and rear.........

Any info would be great.

Ok well if you go to the targa page, there is a requirament list.

We competed in Targa Rookie Classic Class C.

We needed:

Fire extuinguisher

Battery cut out

Fuel Cut out if fitted with electronic pumps

Role cage, Cams approved with papers, seamless tube, all bent and wealded as per the rules

Fire suits, gloves and face mask, ADR approved helmett.

You need a first aid kit

Triangle for breakdowns

Tow points in red, indicated with a sticker

These are the main have toos

Then thre is a whole heap more, like battery triangle stickers, they give you those, tiedowns for any loos items, Terra trip is not required at all. MAKE SURE You have good pace notes, we didn't and crashed. LOL.

Your car needs to be registered and road legel, well roar registered under special interest at least, so all lights must be functioning ect.

You need a minimum of a 5 point harness (and remeber to have it realy tight, or your balls get mashed), there's rumers going around that bolt in cages mightn't be accepted soon, but that is only a rumer. But if you do it, put a weld-in in, it's worth it if you do crash.

how many mods does your car have? because the cars are mostly standard parts.

The targa site has all the regs up, and a link to the cams technical regs.

What you need more than anything...is a car you can thrash for 3 days without it breaking down in any way....so have a think about what sort of condition everything is in and what you might need to replace. Like Ben said it has to be pretty much standard too so you might have to remove bits you already have.

Cage is probably the hardest thing - you can get a bolt in one so you can remove it, but it needs to be a full cams compliant one - think $1500min.

Was your wedding photo in the paper the other day Stu?? It was a Stuart Benson and looked a bit like you....but it might've been a funny angle and I wasn't sure.......

Yes mate that was me, obviously Kylie is a very lucky girl!

The photographer wanted to use that shot for promo and I wondered where it was going to show up.

sav_man - Yeah I think we've still got some, will check.

Duncan& Kel - They will both be worth the wait!

The DVD would have been released sooner as dat16 and the SCTV team finished them some time ago, but they all arrived back from production with the wrong covers and these had to be printed.

In regards to the party DVD's I have located the source here at work and can supply copys at the nominal fee of Twenty dollars.....

We can also do packages that include all shots of you'r vehicle compiled, along with a personalised party tape version that has shots of you'r vehicle inserted into it....

Obviously there is more cost involved in the vehicle compile's and party tape inserts. Those that may be interested will need to contact me for details... I personaly have done many compiles and they can take anywhere from 1/2 an hour to 2 hours depending on how many shots you have to locate.....I think there is somewhere in the vicinity of 70 to 80 tapes from this year!!!!!! :action-smiley-069::(

I am at you'r service.......

      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.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
