Who's PRB guy in the results? Beat me in the clover track *waves fist*.. hehe

I had great day thanks sau ppl! Can't wait for next one.

Thanks Reece for taking me for a ride, your driving is so inspiring.

If I may suggest a few things, I'd like to get more runs on each course, 2 runs on a course isn't enough, it would also be nice for everyone to do the same courses so we can compete with our friends (like last texi) =). Other suggestion is making one battle track and to not make it so complicated!, the first battle track was nice but I had one go of it (double entered car) and it was gone, second track was like WTF.

Favourite track was the clover! And got a much better time for go to whoa this time thanks to boost =P, but made it so hard to control the car on the tight sections, boost kicks in too hard and car goes crazy! Stupid 12pound low boost setting, gotta lower it for next time.

If you were wondering why my car kept dropping cylinders, had a problem with rev limiter, whenever I hit it the engine flooded and stalled, and it didn't help that my tacho died.

This You? (chopped the side off :P ) Tried to get everyone where I could, out of 550 odd shots im amazed that I only got 2 of your car!

We are yet to see the pics from Ian or Craig yet so lets see what they come up with.

Oh yeh it is! Sorry I didn't see that one. Nice shot :)

I can't beleive I came 4th on course 1 track 1!!! Was my first time for one of these. Loved it.

No worries Sasso, we love to hear feedback from the drivers. After all, we're putting this event on for YOU so we strive to make it better everytime :ninja:

The reason there were two afternoon courses was because last time we did it, we had a slalom course only, but by the time the arvo came, cars had died, people had left, and some people had gone on that 8 or 9 times and were bored of it by then. Maybe the first course has anough appeal to stay all afternoon :D

I think the clover track will be back, everyone seemed to like that :)

If anyone else has any thoughts on the day and ways to improve it, PLEASE SPEAK UP! :D

+1 for Clover Leaf track, that was my favourite by far. L-O-T-S of sideways action form that one, loved it. Found the other ones too hard to memorise (i am very special after all).........

Sure we had to wait awhile for runs, but its a good excuse to chat to others in cars around you, so have a chat and meet some new people i say!!!! Good times had by all. And the fact that passengers were free, thats sensational, where on earth can you find that kind of value!!!

:D

any of my silver r33 boat with a white front bar????? i was only there untill just before lunch time so if its not in your morning pics it wont be there....

Here are a couple of videos I took with my GoPro HD.

First time I used it as I only got the memory card the day before. The sound is weird on some because I had to keep changing to the waterproof casing because of the damn rain. Thought I would run out of battery or memory so didn't have the quality turned right up but I think they do the job.

had an AWESOME day guys, THANK YOU to all the organisers :-) i also appreciate your understanding of the (comparitively) underpowereness of my N/A mx5.

i heard a few people moan about the wet track, personally i was praying for it and had a great time :-D

the clover course was lots of fun (lots of hand break action), so was the NO LEFT TURN/ RIGHT ONLY course :-D

Battle 2 was beyond me, had no idea!!!!!!! battle 1 was a fail for me :-(

Had a blast, would LOVE to do it again :-)

Good stuff, Ben - some awesome vids in there.

I love the one where the Camaro was being pushed back into the car park and the guys were making engine and skid noises!

lol I've practiced pushing plenty of broken cars, and the sound effects are a key part of the technique

some vids all in high res so 480p them.

GTR in teh wet - abolustely hopeless traction controll even took out a cone...

small launch - in go-2-whoa

Having some fun with Ow3n and his 'new' (read: some) suspension

    • 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.
