evening all, sooo i think i managed to convince my brother to bring his beetle out to happy laps, he thinks he's gonna be in the way. And he probably will.....not sure if it will be ok for noise....either way he wants to come, and if it doesnt work, will jump in as a passenger with Mumslayer or myself :thumbsup:

Reading an article on how much of a dick online gamers can be and came across this gem of a quote:

"

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let their be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it."

They don't seem to like design/tech advice from non engineers. I suggested they look at getting a Wolf system this year for the ECU instead of forking out mega bucks for a Motec M800 with all of the options unlocked. Didn't go down to well.

My opinion in something like this would be to look at the top teams around the world and see what they are doing and a lot of the top teams, including the winner for the last three years running in Australia, are running Goodyears. Know why? Goodyear have spent time and money developing slicks SPECIFICALLY for Formula SAE competition world wide. Yet for some reason we are running Hoosiers. But what would I know, I'm just a business student :P

I'm going to be hitting Goodyear up for sponsorship for the team as one of my first projects, followed closely by targeting one of the big fuel/lubricant companies. Need to develop a solid marketing plan first and try figure out if I am allowed to sell naming rights for the team/car as part of a sponsorship package. I have a modest goal for my two year stint with the team, I want to double their operating budget. They are currently receiving almost no external support and managed to place 15th from 48 teams in one of the most competitive comp's in the world for this category last year. I'm super keen to see what they can do with more coin/product/services behind them.

I'd pay $50 for a penis to be put on the car. So running total thus far is $100. Better than getting sponsorship from a cheese company....

oh that's nasty...

    • Messing around with. Twin kit for. Rb30/26  
    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.
