Valvebounce.com is putting on an interclub go kart day at Hume Superkarts on Sunday,June 26th.I'll post up times and exact details as we get closer to the day.Suffice to say,there's likely to be limited places,as there's already healthy interest from other clubs. The link on Valvebounce is: http://valvebounce.com/home/viewtopic.php?t=293 . So far,there's 1. VMPCA

2. REACT

3. ACTWRX

4. ACT RS Liberty Club

So,put it in your calendars! If you're a light,power-to-weight freak,or a mean steerer,or you just want to help fly the flag for SAU,this could be a great day for you! Likewise,those who want to come along and watch,feel free! :)

yeah id be up for it. hell yeah.  went go karting two nights ago, the dude was letting us do what we wanted, still got bruises from being hit lol.  aree you going jayce??

But OF COURSE I'm going! I'll even have a steer!

Ill be there for sure.

We need to get Frink out.

Frink is pretty damn quick in those things, he used to race karts. I think that the fact that he also used to work there may be also be a good thing.

Jester aint to slow either.

Me being a 'Beef Cake' dont make for quick lap times but ill give it a go!

That makes the most sense!

The last time I raced there I was a little confused. I have done formula ford training and was pushing the thing to its limits but could only just keep my lap times on par with my mate who was racing a shite racing line but just blasting away on the back straight. I think the karts are all a touch different in the "got balls" factor.

hmmm... i like the pre-race... even if we all just go for a fun day out... :P top stuff...

yea thats more so what i meant. All about having good fun and if you come first well thats a bonus. I know they also have a barbie so we could bring some snags or something. again just an idea.

im in for a pre-race day. I wanna go when its wet again. The sweeper outside at the end of the straight it mad fun, then the next hairpin you lean rite over the steering wheel and turn and they swing nuts :wassup:

never fear, professor Frink is here.

i'll happily raise the SAU flag and give it a go. i like the idea of the pre-race, as im a little rusty, but i remember the lines around that track.

i also used to race there in the comp's they used to have, before the change of ownership. won that championship twice out of 3 go's. got trophies and all! HA!

Thats sounding like too much fun.

I like karting, and would like to hand the other clubs their asses back :D

I can do a 27sec at that indoor/outdoor track, is that the one you are talking about?

yeah thats the one. its in hume.

the track and kart conditions can and will vary on day to day basis. all depends on tyre wear, kart and track maintaince and weather conditions. you'd be surprised what kind of a difference they all make. you go there one day and do say a 27 sec lap, then the next week or even the next day, you'd be struggling to do a high 28 sec lap.

    • 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.
