C-Red Drift Series Round 1 - Barbagello Late Feb/Early March


Recommended Posts

This has been in the formulative stages for quite some time, but we now have a choice of dates with which to proceed.

Format will be 6-9 on a Friday Night using the sweeper and hairpin section of the track. Due to the tight timeframe we will evaluate entries on an individual basis based on experience and car and personal presentation. We want a tight, professional event and as such will be screening the entries to ensure this is the case.

If you would like to participate please email [email protected]

Please Detail:

Personal Experience

Car

Include a current image of both yourself and the car.

If you are selected you will be notified of the particulars shortly.

Expressions of Interest will not be taken after 21/2/05.

Please Direct Any Queries to me at [email protected]

Regards,

Jeff Ash

Mikey,

Dunno how you read this but I read it to say "if you define drift as what you do when you're 3/4's around the corner and plant your right food, don't apply" :wassup:

I would think Jash is looking for maybe people who have done the collie drift days before etc rather than road dori dori wannabes.

:werd:

I wish more people would stop saying drift when they mean back end stepped out.

"aww man, i did an awesome drift" we know you can't drift

good luck in the search jash....i don't think the satria will ever be up to the task

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
