S A U N S W - Texi, "the Original" @ Sutton Road


Recommended Posts

List is updated

Might I just add there are still 25 spots left because all you "ill pay soon" people never eventuated.

We will all enjoy sutton road immensly with more runs than we can count because we sure as shit are not coming back with the lacklustre entry list so far of 19

Hi Mick, I got your entry and forwarded to Aggrodave tonight.

James, me too, it's a good event, but I guess the club exec can't keep running events if they don't get the entrants.

Anyone wondering about whether to try it or not....give it a go, you'll have a ball :D

hmm, unfortunately it is looking like I will have a saturday afternoon soccer game so I wont be able to make it, unless it gets changed to Sunday at the last minute. sucks cause I was looking forward to it :-(

Brendan here - I'm the mate with the Commodore sweefu spoke of earlier.

I am in for this, and will get the payment and entry form sorted sometime today.

Thank heaps for putting this event on! I've driven past this track twice everyday of the week for the last 4 years, great to be finally able to give it a crack!

Thanks Duncan,

I can't believe that there arent more ACT SAU'ers interested... Everyone down here knows how awesome that back track at Sutton Rd is and how rare it is to be able to get on and drive it! :(

Was thinking the exact same thing. I thought maybe they think it's the skidpan we have rented - but I've been pretty clear it's the track?!

What time is everyone leaving on friday to head down?

Also, do you exec fags want me to post up the event on Autocult>?

Go for it. You can do an event coverage type thing afterwards too if you want?!

I'll be there around 2pm at the motel

Wish I could join but I am to worried about my clutch at the moment.

I was wondering if you still needed people to stand on the corners I do that pretty well haha

Would be more then happy to chill out for the day and watch sweet cars rip it up.

The mg club have it booked for Sunday....

They used to do (still might, not sure) a quarterly event there on the skidpan, as far as I'm aware it was never the track though.

Yes we do actually! Thanks for that, come on the day :)

I'll probably be to busy driving to shoot/cover the day. Kory the skirt is busy playing soccer or some gay shit. I'll probably bring down my camera and take a few shots but doubt there'll be enough for a post. If there is I'll put something together :)

POST IS UP. LINK

A few questions after watching that video linked from page 1 for the 200th time:

  • does that bloke get air over the crest at one point in the first half of the course?
  • is the course going to be set up exactly like it is in the video?

I'm keen to know if we are going to see enough straight road to get into 4th gear at serious speeds.

Forecast for Saturday is looking good! -2 over night...shiver me timbers!

    • 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.
