SVM Round 1 - Metec June 23rd

[hot richard]

Thanks Birds, there was a lot of steering with throttle haha. Might make a dash kit or something one day but it's a lot of work. 

Can you give a rundown of how you made it? Pretty keen to learn how to do it.

Might do a write up one day. Basically, i gutted out the cluster and put in an arduino mega2560, this handles frequency counting for RPM and speed, analogue digital conversions for boost, fuel, water, oil pressure etc. I did a lot of data logging to work out the conversion from voltages into temps,pressures. The arduino sends the data to a raspberry pi 3 which has a script i wrote using python which basically collects the serial data from the arduino and moves needles, displays numbers. Took about 6 months because i didn't know anything about python or raspberry pis before this.

Sweet. Thanks for that. Sounds very interesting

Could you make them without needing to do it on someones car? I reckon if you could, could easily sell them for like $600-800 if they just bolt in. 

I guess the problem then would be if there's any issues you'd have people shitting you with phone calls

1st and 3rd for Team Dynamic steel frame.

 

Not bad for a 73 year old and a crazy dirt driving fool.

[acsplit]

You mean team serious?

You were both entertaining to watch

[JDMmelb]

Lol 34th! Not bad for someone that had no idea what they were doing ?

That Cleo is super quick though!

its pretty stock, just coil overs and brake pads and running on re003 tyres

just weather better suited to a light weight fwd car, the starlet shows that

Also has a tune and quaife lsd

sorry, you are correct it does have an lsd and a (generic) tune

[hot richard]

All good. He drove the pants off it. I was surprised how confident in the wet he was with it.
Well deserved win

My only gripe is that section that rips front bars off....  Would need to be changed for next time.

[acsplit]

Yeah it was 50/50 to use that bit of road. Now we know for next time

Also the reason that we made sure we did a sighting lap of the area and an 80% run through it... knew it was going to be a pain point even when rolling through it in the falcon to do cone setup in the morning.

Yeah not just that but a few gutters around there too
