lol what would lock nuts do? all they do is stop buggars pinching your wheels with a standard wheel brace

they aint no better at holding wheels on!

haha was about to say that myself. Looks like he didn't even HAVE nuts on.

Just had another watch of the clip and it looks like the studs are still on and the nuts or something that looks like it are on the floor. What happened? How did all four wheels fall off at the same time? hahahah

he had a workshop or someone else put different wheels on

but they used the wrong nut type so the thread was different

they went on but didnt hold correctly, so under pressure

they popped off

lol only in america..

watch and you see the car bouces along a bit.. but in the vid the nuts are placed next to the wheel.. not scattered or anything..

i reckon some guy took em off for a laugh and shit himself so placed the nuts there lol

could be the wrong sort of nut for the rim. friend of mine has 18's on her car, one was flat so i took it off and put the spare on, but used the same wheel nuts off the 18's, did it up in the right sequence with a wheel brace and they were tight as f*ck. i did it just so i could back the car into my driveway (all of 20ft) and at the end of that drive i undid them all, completely with no effort at all, with my fingers, they were loose as good ol' Paz Hilton. i suspect a similar thing happened there, either that or they were only finger tight to begin with

meh, plenty of race cars have lost a wheel over the years, ours included in day 2 at targa last year. one of the crew got distracted, didnt do it up, and it wasnt checked the next day either.

they make a very distinctinve clunking when loose, i picked what it was and hit the brakes - and watched the front left overtake the car and run down the hill lol. car came down hard on the subframe when i hit the ground

    • 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.
