Pretty keen for this - does anyone know an average price for a wakie day?

My last pay day is next fortnight - need to see if it's in budget.

$150 for day

$50 for liecense

$80 fuel to get there

$40 top up

$80? for a tank at lunch?

$40 top up for ride home

$10-20lunch

$40 oils

Total: $490 - sounds about right?

i used about 80litres total for the day you use a half tank getting to goulborn and back so petrol cost is about $130

buy a 1L bottle of oil $15

so about $410.

It is not totally unlikely that your car will break, I had mine trailered back once, at a 350$ cost. Due to a bad driveline noise. (turned out to be a loose pully.) But it's not totally impossible, you are stressing the car and pushing it, so it's not impossible that a turbo could blow, or you have some kind of failure.

My advice apart from what everyone else said, is do some slow cooldown laps as well, dont flog the car the entire session. I was doing a fair few hot laps and would then do a slower lap to give the car a break.

Also budget for a potential set of new tires, unless you have slicks or semi slicks, you will put a bit of wear on your tires.

you determine how hard you push your car. you dont need to go all out and non stop.

if your car is on its last legs for tyres or brakes etc or already has issues on a daily driver level, then sure best to give it a miss.

same deal if your pushing it financially but otherwise lets not get too pedantic.

    • 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.
