'We' means you in English. 'Wewe' is to sing the Swahili word for you. So you just sang.... "you homosexual man" Either that or you said "you you homosexual man" You've got a stutter :D

Ah, that what I said Matt. A chick rolled a torana & it was spinning on its roof thru the traps - IN PERTH, ON SAT NIGHT. Thats why I mentioned it, cause a similar thing happened in Adelaide on the same night.

BTW - Cheeky is a 'sweet ass' not a 'bad ass'

Yep cool, gotcha mate :D I was 99.99% sure that's what you meant.

I'd be interested to know how the female driver of the Torrie that crashed whilst running against me has faired? I certainly won't be forgetting the image of her car spinning through the air as I drove past!

I'm staying right out of this whole 'ass' thing :D

nah, they didnt. kier was just running in new engine and the clutch on theo's car was just starting to slip. Auto box going in.

hey Matt, you going out on wednesday? ill be out there to get some times down

I'm toying with the idea of bolting on slicks, just to see the full potential of the car. If I don't go with slicks then I'll be out there as a spectator only. I've ran at the last 4 meets! I feel like watching for a change.

why dont ya stick with what you're running if you dont feel you are happy with the package, not so much cos of what the cars doing, but you're own driving?? anywhere you can improve in you're book on the current package?

no doubt you can go faster with slicks but thats cheating :P

I know there's plenty left in the car on street tyres, both in ET and MPH, but it'd be nice to see just how quick it can go on slicks. And with the new SAU 'slicks' and 'non-slicks' classes it wouldn't be a pointless exercise.

I've had a heap of people suggesting I give slicks a shot, even if for just one meet. Most of them are old school drag racers hence they don't see why I wouldn't want to go with slicks.

I can go faster by winding the boost up more (still have at least another 3-4psi up my sleeve) and I could stop my BOV from leaking so that the boost holds up top. Currently the BOV cracks open above 20psi.

go for the slicks matt, just to see the difference, our cars dont have the full auto/high stall so they cant take the full advantage but with traction you can get a good time to show your power, i know i will go streight for some et streets or similar once my car is done to try and get some decent times.

For the drags just remove the bov and put a plate over the hole, just for some fun.

Lets look at the idea of using slicks at AIR.

Its a drag track? (yes) Slick is a drag tyre? (yes) You are drag racing (yes)

Only am imbecile would consider using a slick cheating. Bit like getting accussed of same for using a pool cue in a game of eight ball, when you could poke the balls around quite well with your finger.

    • 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.
