I heard somethin today about RPM Performance Centre gettin most of its gear stolen from its premises within the past week???

Anyone hear anything about this?

A mate from the 31club mentioned it as we were having our Dyno Day there this saturday but has since been cancelled because of what has happened.

anyone wanna clear this up?

Tim

Well i spoke to the guys are RPM today and they got fuc ked over badly...

It happened after the DYno day. They reckon there wer at least 80 people in the workshop so they would of seen all the stuff they had.

Then afterwards they smashed thru the front door and took everythin.

I feel so sorry for them as they really do such a good job for the tuning scene in adelaide along with the other shops, and i really hate the low life theives that ****en try and ruin other peoples hard work!!!!

I spoke with Ivan yesterday & thankfully insurance will cover everything.

It's a sad fact of life that there are people out there low enough to do this kind of thing. But the really sad thing is there are people who support this kind of activity by buying the stolen gear no-questions-asked :D

I must say my heart skipped a beat for a sec when I first heard the news, seeing as how my car has been sitting in the workshop for months.

Matt which car was yours? I was there yesterday. What colour line?

My car is the red (well burgundy really) series 1 that's been sitting there since May! The plates read ***** 6, you'll know what I'm getting at if you saw it :D

I can't bloody wait to get it back on the road! And give it a lot of much needed TLC. It looks like a dirty ol' POS atm :(

I'm STILL waiting on my CP forgies to come from the US.

The big news (well it is for me) is I'm keeping the car & will be back on the drag strip as soon as it's run in & ready to go.

Great news whatsisname, I reckon it would have broken your heart to sell it, cos it was nearly breaking mine - too much time, money and love gone there to be giving it away. You never get the true value of a car back when you sell it.

On another note, I think it is a bit harsh to be pointing the finger at the RPM guys, as with any dyno day, it gets publicised and you invariably get all sorts of hangers on coming around. (unless its a boring old SVD one :(:D )

Thanks for the kind words guys :D

I'm REALLY looking forward to being back on the road cruising with you all again.

As for drag strip action...... I'd love to be able to make the 15th Nov AIR meet but the way things are going I don't like my chances :(

From the looks of things (Andrew into the 12's for starters) I've got a lot of catching up to do!!!

I am very happy you're keeping the beast Matt :( .... that is very good news for the summer cruising scene ;) .... who else is crazy enough to have me chasing them through roundabouts down south at 100km/h? :D I can't wait till its back on the road and we can have some runs at AIR!!!

    • 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.
