Grass Funkhana, $15 Entry! This Sunday The 3Rd Of Feb.


Recommended Posts

Done and dusted....and i do mean dusted!!

The Austin 7 + MG club were fantastic host's, and the event was extremly well run. They even had their own trailer storage area with full BBQ facilities, plus a portable toilet. Very friendly people and today was a lot of fun.

The morning rain helped keep the dust down for the first 2 tracks, but after that the dust came back and with vengeance!!!

Here's the tracks....

The tracks weren't that hard, but still with a fading memory they still provide a challenge ;)

The surface WAS grass, but then got chopped up and eventually got turned into a fine dusty powder. I've got no damage to my car its just filthy!

I got a little dusty....

Here's one vid of many that i'm uploading. To see more youtube search "A7/MG Funkhana"

About 20 odd cars from memory, Oscar. More vids are coming as we had 3 goPros, and the photos will be up soon. My mate took about 600+ so he's gotta go through all of them.

Oh and it turns out i placed 1st overall! :w00t:

SAUVIC reprezent!! :banana: :banana:

Thanx Oscar.

Yep, got the trophy today in the mail. There's plenty of Vids. Just search "A7/MG Funkhana" on Youtube.

And some pics,

And here's the maps for the day....

Wow, nice air in the second photo! Awesome videos :D

Was it bumpy at all (like last time)? Looks really dry though, was it easier or harder to do a handbrake turn in the dry dirt?

looks like ripper fun...does your rear spoiler actually flex that much or is it just a camera effect?

Nah not that bumpy, but the grass got torn up and the dirt undeneath was very soft....almost powder like. Very easy to slid on, you would have loved it ;)

fuark missed it.. keen for next one Age!! Also 17th looks interesting but need CAMS and membership to MG.. Lilydale ftw tho..

Ahh dammit car won't be ready but let me know about next one! :D

No wuckers Kaz, i usally post em up when i know, or Oscar is also on the case.

Yeah it does, i'm thinking of re-doing the rubber gaskets on it where the spoiler bolts onto the boot, but i'm not sure how much that will do.

Oh and sooooooooooo much CHEAP fun. Whole day cost me $15 for entry, $25 fuel and $10 @ the bakery for lunch. ;)

Oh and full Photos are up and here,

    • 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.
