That's harsh. Piling on a man who is still struggling to excape from White.

Tony,
I know that R model, too. Now it's getting close with more accepted units.
Tell me... did you install any other sensors with your IQ3, or is it just stand alone?

 

Good question......

 

Good Hands needs the proper motivation if he's ever going to improve his driving skills. I'm really just trying to help

 

You have a good heart Streak...

 

Poor Goodhands.....

I do have a video of Streak with his left hand out......

should I give it to Goodhands for ammunition?

 

NOOOOOOOOO!

 

I have throttle position and brake switch [which I need to replace with brake pressure ASAP]. Both of these come straight from the car, of course, so its just two simple VNET inputs. As Chris said above, the Racepak USM is a four sensor module that sells for $179, which is a terrific package:

"This 4 sensor input module allows the IQ3 customer to utilize their own sensors, or the 0-5V inputs from certain ECU systems with the IQ3. Each of the four sensor inputs can be defined by the user as rpm/analog/resistive temperature. The module housing contains an O ring lid and water resistant cable strain reliefs for use in severe environments. Sensors cables are connected to the internal PC board of the module via a terminal strip type connector. Each of the four terminal strip inputs are provided with a shield/ground/signal/5V/12V connection."

With this, you can add four sensors or existing car signals [like throttle position sensor] easily. The alternative is to use the specific VNET sensors, which are more expensive, but are completely 'plug & play'.

There's no question in my mind that throttle position and brake pressure are the two most valuable aids to improving your driving. You'd be surprised to see how often you think you are flat on the gas or brake, but you are actually feathering or delaying between the two. It can really help to see this.

You can also go hog wild with chassis setup sensors like shock position, brake temps, etc, but I think these are only of value to pro teams using this data to fine tune setup for particular tracks and conditions.

 

Its ok. I've got a lot of video of streak giving me passes.

Maybe I'll do a compilation of them. Nah. that would take waaayyyy too long

 

Ouch ! El Presidente, can you help a brotha out with a checkout ride next weekend ?

 

What?......You miss Streak already?.....

 

My best lap of the weekend. This was Sunday morning and sadly not consistent and more sadly far off the magic 2:20. My tires went away for the last two sessions so this was my best. I need to work on braking, lots of time to make up there. T11, 1, 5, 9 and probably others. Need to find 3 1/2 seconds!

What really sucks is it's not on vimeo.

 

Thanks for posting Ron. I've never heard my car from outside before. I like it.
