Its killing me having to work overseas at present. Its been so long since i have done a track day in my car. Need to get back and start pumping up the weekends away like the early years, problem is most people have kids now and cant get leave passes for the weekends :blush:

Come on Roy give us family men a break...those MS weekends away are the only sane weekend I get these days :bunny:

How can they have up so mcuh in the space of 3 years. Teh yen exchange rate is about the same, the tyres are old hat nothing new in the way of compounds. FARKING RIDICULOUS! LOL , i need to find some 16X9" rims

Couldn't agree more Roy!! The manufacturer's reasons for the price rise doesn't quite equate to the actual dollar increase if you get my drift. Oh well I suppose someone has to pay for their F1 campain and advertizing :P

Duncan - I'm not actually convinced the Advan 050 Medium is a medium in the Dunlop sense if that makes sense. Guys are getting great wear rates out of them so I reckon they are just called a Medium in comparison to the A048's - which were HARD.

It's probably why that compund comes in Medium, Soft and Super Soft rather than Hard, Medium and Soft.

I'm going to give the A050's a crack next as I the reports I've had are that they are harder / longer lasting than the Dunlop R compounds despite being called a medium. Because given the medium is the hardest compound the tyre gets made in what is the reference point? It's all just marketing rather than a base figure probably.

Cool, any vids of the lil Astra doing its thing....thats a fair wack of grunt at the wheels. Are they easy to get that sort of power from?

I've got a really bad video taken by the missus at calder from the weekend, i'll have to get it loaded up.

Takes alot to get power out of an astra as no one over here makes the stuff so I have to import it all pretty much. If only i didn't like opels, it would be so much cheaper :blush:

    • 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.
