Darchangel posted:LOL - I'd seen various fruity smell additives for 2-strokes, but that's new to me. I'm late here, but this is me! This is my Lemons team (another team mate was the one responding to that GRM post), and I built the circuitry and dash board setup. The main paddle shifting and whatnot is done by an Arduino Mega with custom boards for some random stuff. Paddle shifters themselves are from one of those realistic sim racing video game companies. There's also a Raspberry Pi backpacked on that does data logging, and I wrote a GUI to plot data, theoretically as the car went around the track and past a track-side router. That didn't work super great. But the GUI looked cool once I pulled the data off the Pi!  So for instance here's an art-ified image of our alternator failing lap by lap (each color is a lap) until we stopped to replace it (the green-ish traces).  We built a Starlet we ran last fall with the stock 1.3 engine. It was ... slow, but hilarious, especially with 8" wide sticky rubber under it (hell yeah three-wheeling). It's getting engine swapped, and I'm building circuitry and stuff for that too. Here is the steering wheel based dash:  You can see the same type of shifters poking out behind the steering wheel spokes a bit. Because we like being dumb, the Starlet is getting an H27 V6 out of a Suzuki XL7, with mechanical fuel injection from a Mercedes, I think it is. At least that's the plan. It's not a GOOD idea, but it's a dumb and fun idea. Krakkles posted:Definitely a button, apparently the starter button! It's an 8x8 two color matrix. I use it to indicate PRN, and then 1 through 4 as you shift (or as the car shifts for you if you leave in in auto mode). Here's when I was setting up how the letters would look:  Dr Rocksalt fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Apr 14, 2020 |

For the Arduino-based paddle shifter -- are you hijacking an automatic transmission's logic, or have you mechanized the clutch+gear selector of a standard transmission?

Safety Dance posted:For the Arduino-based paddle shifter -- are you hijacking an automatic transmission's logic, or have you mechanized the clutch+gear selector of a standard transmission? The (automatic) Lexus trans is electronically shifted through drive gears by just the state of two solenoids you can access via wires on the outside of the trans case. So the paddle shifters just give the Arduino a signal the driver wants up or down a gear, and then the Arduino trips some relays to engage the appropriate set of solenoids. You still have to use the old floor mounted gear shifter to select park, reverse, neutral, or drive. As I have it now when you throw it into drive it shifts automatically: the Arduino takes in speed and RPM data to just choose a logical gear. As soon as you blip a paddle, it kicks it into manual mode and it's on to you choose the drive gear. I put in some rudimentary protection so you can't, say, jam it into first when going 105. You can also pull and hold the paddles for a second or two to kick it back to auto mode should you choose. The Arduino knows PRND status by a sensor that just looks at the position of the floor mount selector going into the side of the trans. This is also somewhat critical for shifting since the trans needs to be in the solenoid state that would be first in drive if you want to be in neutral or reverse.

I'm sorry sir, you seem to have gotten some door in your panel gap. If Jeremy Clarkson were ever in a Saw movie, he'd have to do power laps in one of those around the test track.

Went shopping today and parked next to this awesome Suzuki Alto Works with MCM sticker. Even here in JDM rich NZ I haven’t seen one in years. Even better, when I came out, it had been joined by a younger but MUCH bigger cousin. Seriously the size difference was much more than you imagine.

As Nero Danced posted:Forget unicorns. I found a Pegasus The pickup next to it is just as rare, it's a 1958 Chevrolet Cameo. Production numbers about the same as the SC/Rambler. In 1955-57 Chevrolet Cameo Carrier was a low production halo version of their light truck. They used fiberglass panels to make the standard stepside box look like it was smooth sided. It was impractical and expensive and not many were made. In the 1958 they did a partial run of them to use up their stock of fiberglass panels before switching to a modern steel fleetside box. https://www.hemmings.com/blog/article/high-style-hauling-1955-58-chevrolet-cameo/ Edit: detailed set of photos of another one, they actually stuck the camera up into the dead space in between the fiberglass panels and stepside box hiding underneath. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1958-chevrolet-apache-3100-8/ Fornax Disaster fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Apr 18, 2020 |

I dig it, now someone do to a Prius C. Too bad the TCS is so aggressive it'll still get stuck on a snowy driveway. Faintest whiff of wheel spin and the car shuts down.
