I have to update this for Steve, as Im just as excited as he is. Big props to Powertune and everyone else involved, but we were out testing yesterday (His our again today), and what an awesome shakedown. I wont post any times or details, ill let Steve do that, but here is a pic

So after the cage getting painted the engine and gearbox was dropped off for installation in March. Work up until this point was faultless. I was quoted 4 weeks until completion.

April....... Wife cancer

May........Kid sick

June...... Kid not his

July.... Separated from wife

August.... Bikies after him

September... Bikies poured sulphuric acid on his hair and my legs were broken

I genuinely felt sorry for the cnut. I have succumbed to the fact that he is mentally not there. Through my observations and from my opinion (medically based) he is a compulsive liar (only the seperation part is true) which makes it very hard to deal with. Just check out his trader thread. That has only unravelled the tip of the iceberg...believe me! . I'm not here to discredit his business even though he has cost me tens of thousands through missing parts, engine failure due to poor workmanship.

So lets move on to the awesome part ;)

I had to goto the workshop to hijack my own car with a few mates unannounced. As I have a car to prep for wtac ;p

VSPORT next stop... Brakes, suspension, dry sump sorted! Superb efforts there from Todd and Johnny

POWERTUNE to finish the car for testing.... Fcking awesome gig they run there! They do everything!!!

HALTECH - so generous with time and support and such a awesome product when understood

Justin from PROWIRE who wired the whole car up without fault on the first start!!! Drops panties bro lol

Anyway.... Shakedown was frigging awesome. Could not fault the car mechanically. Haltech setup my whole data logging trackside and once again there efforts are above and beyond.

I destroyed my front left canard yesterday collecting a witches hat under lock up but I'm still getting over the novelty of clutchless shifting :P

Boz doing what he does at TRACKSCHOOL tested the car............. Video to come .......

I can't believe it's this quick out of the box so early in its testing without any aero and on its run in tune.... And weighing in at 1420kg :P

Ur "mate" did the dash I think haha

That's right.... ur mate that sent away ur exact brakes lol

just alloy wrapped in carbon.

Shifter is a custom made extension by powertune on a pivot to give the exact same consistent throw to the holinger plus signal to the Motorsport systems strain gauge shifter. It also gives the driver a back and forward feel.... vs the easy dog leg option which gives inconsistent and weird angles of thow. All this because the seat position is at the passengers rear foot rest ;)

Mouth watering for sure!

Big novelty for me at the moment pulling that big knob...all I'm thinking of is getting to sixth and bleeping the throttle on downshifts on the peddle box. Until I'm comfortable with that ill start zoning in on my lap times :P

Car is looking awesome. Can't wait to see some shakedown vids and the car out at WTAC!

Who was this in refernce to?

    • 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.
