had a quick watch - will have a better look tonight.

Curiously, what diff ratio are you using? 4.1 or less? Where'd you pull the accelerometer data from? I seem to follow a similar line on turn three - which is completely different to john.


I'm running stock open diff.

I get all my data from Megasquirt ECU via a Bluetooth Android logging app and Qstarz 818 GPS

I'm slow so don't follow me. I also come unstuck at 5:20 in the video!!

Also, I have a rumble, rumble noise that appears when turning hard. In the car it's from the rear and is either diff or wheel bearings I think.... Any thoughts?

Is it only turning right?


Actually, I think it is.... Why?

Could be the exhaust bouncing of the drive shaft. Mine does it - i think the stock system will do it too if you go hard enough.

Lol.... I think you are right. Having a look now it is really flexible and when shaken hard enough, does knock ..... I think a trip to the exhaust shop is in order.

Jubilee clip/clamps around the exhaust rubber mount/s, may help.

I think you meant to post this in the 26 November 2012 thread (http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=54649), hence the "lack of interest :P

No, I meant 17 September - on the actual day 3,900 views now almost 8,000 - I know pics were posted but for some reason it's been averaging 150 views a day! Maybe something to do with those 'cartoon' posts that has a link to enable you to create your own

I'm off to bloow the cobwebs outta the NB Sunday on the run! You going? :wink:

The only thing I can think of is the link to make those cartoons that were posted about a week before the event!!

Like, I keep a log so I have an idea of the amount of interest being generated BUT 6,000+ views?

See ya Monday!

People come looking for photos and videos after wards.
As for the morning some of us jump on to catch up with the details before we leave.
But the number do seem excessive for those that do attend.
