Over the Christmas break I found motivation to make a web app that has been an idea of mine for a few years.

The main goal was to replace Google sheets, which I have been using to record mods and service info.

I only released it to the internet last weekend, and will continue to develop it.

I plan to exhibit at Geelong Revival in a few weeks time, so come say hi if you're there!

It's over at https://www.pitloon.com

Cheers

Currently using Excel for this. Good idea. It could do with some more features though (I realise it's a work in progress). 

Some of the planned features are:

- reminders, where you can schedule a notification in the future, for things like oil changes etc.

- vehicle transfers, for when you buy/sell a vehicle and want all the logs to move to the new owner.

- CSV download, where you can download all your data stored on pitloon

Good idea. I've registered. 

Could you please add the ability to add pics when you add notes?

That's the plan. I am trying to limit my server costs currently, hence limiting where images can be uploaded! But adding images per-log is 100% on the roadmap. Thanks heaps for checking it out.

Exporting your data is now possible. I know it's not easy to trust a new system, so want to make sure people can get a copy of all their data stored on Pitloon.

Coming soon: Allow a vehicle to be transferred to another users account (i.e. if you sell/buy a vehicle)

Small bump on this one. There are way more features on Pitloon now. It is genuinely where I store a timeline of my cars history. I'll eventually add monetization for some features, but for now, anyone who signs up will get the paid features for free forever. Kind of like a 'founding' user account. I hope you find it useful, cheers

I just gave it a quick spin on mobile and have some feedback.

Firstly, the idea is great. Currently, I just have a big folder full of receipts and dyno reports, and I sometimes find myself rifling through them to remember what I had done and when. Being able to access this at any time would be great.

investing the time/effort into rifling through these papers and creating my own database of mods would be time consuming and potentially cumbersome, so I was interested in how your app could help that process.

This will be one of the biggest barriers for most folks, I imagine. The bulk inserting of items. Currently, you have to do it one at a time, going to a new screen and hitting save each time. this ends up being more cumbersome than a spreadsheet. Providing a UI for bulk adding, maybe in a table style, could help you lower the effort bar and make your app competitive against other options such as keeping lists in spreadsheets or text notes.

I also don’t understand the language of a Loon. Is this a common term?

I’m a UX/UI designer, so if you’re interested in any other feedback, lemme know.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
