Cal Club Autocross Forums

I find Data Acq. to be much more useful now that I have Aaron to interpret the data! :D One of the main things we use it for during an event is to determine whether to use 3rd gear. For instance, on my first run on Sunday, I went to 3rd twice and we then looked at the data to see the terminal speed...

btw, I still have the brake pressure sensor. it reads up to like 100bar or something stupid like that. i might be interested in selling it.

The reason for brake pressure on me is mainly because of me.... The brake goes on a lot when I'm driving. Often with the throttle position is 100%. I've always done it. You do it in drag racing, you do it in stunt driving. You do it when you're scaring yourself on an autocross course. So, people ch...

you know we have an off topic forum right guys?

this is 'for sale' not 'brag about driving company cars' forums

could be done but i'd be very concerned about concentricity. I mean i've done the emery cloth deal when i spun a couple bearings in the pt cruiser coming back from big bear...but this is an s2k motor. the pt didn't rev to 9k rpm.

Thanks.

even if it did i would turn that crap off. its very annoying.

if surface finish is good and it all mics out good then yes you can just throw in new bearings. the tolerances are pretty small though so you better have good measuring devices.

even if the crank surface is bad you might be able to have the crank fixed for pretty cheap and then put new bearings.

I'm actually working on a light that works on a pressure system that will get brighter as u apply more pressure...but it is going to have to be specifically built for our pedal system since the current sensor is on/off the new sensor would have to be stepped so that maybe you could measure 4 levels...

how cute. the ladies classes are highlighted in pink.

welcome to the club

Aaron is using the trackvision software with the maxq daq.

I think i just got one upped. damn it!

I swear I will figure out this driving thing eventually. one driving error and a cone(or two) and I could've had a good run. See below: New Picture.jpg I'm the zero line, Tom's fastest competition run is the red line (which is slower then me by ~.4secs until i screw up the turn at the top of the hil...

So are you going to add "Door cranks of DOOM" to your 'roll call'?

oh they'll spin alright, all it takes is a change of heart on corner entry. come in hot then chicken out and you'll quickly find out how much talent you have...or don't have.

I rode in this car again this weekend.. my god is it AWESOME. and the scary part is I was driving it, and Aaron still thought it was awesome. This car is guaranteed to cut your average overall pax ranking in half (rounded to the nearest whole number)! For the record Mr. Abbot I only got down to a 6...

I think we took care of that...

I think this one is pretty important.
