Expert Posts: 5629 Location: Letchworth/Basildon | Turley_vvc - 15/4/2011 8:34 PM very nice mate,might sound silly but what is Data Engineering? It's a way of making me sound smart  Basically you get all the data from every sensor on the car, there is over 50. First of all you check everything is as it should be with the car, then you work with the driver(s) to see where they could be faster. Thats the short version As an example, the other day I manged to get 0.5 seconds faster from one driver in just one corner! Admittedly it was a gentleman driver but still! ding - 15/4/2011 8:35 PM Lucky fooker. Theres one of these in baby blue with yellow graphics, fully stripped and mean looking down here. Some old bloke, but fook he can drive it. Ask him if he needs a data guy  | ||

Expert Posts: 5629 Location: Letchworth/Basildon | OrangeManDan - 17/4/2011 8:06 PM Cant seem to find it anywhere? What is the actual course name or w.e? Course name is Motorsport Technology. So many people do it though, all expecting to be getting an amazing job out of it in the end. If you just want to spanner the car, there really is no point. Herts are getting some sweet stuff in the next few months though, a simulator, flowbench and new dyno with a common rail diesel with variable geometry turbo on it. Not that you would use it till 3rd year and for about 15 minutes because the guy who organizes it all is a c**k RobertoMiley - 17/4/2011 8:46 PM sure that is exciting for ya. I've got a track gift in the Bond Aston Martin myself coming up just got to arrange a day to do it in the remaining time this year. Should be a laugh FreddieS - 17/4/2011 11:56 PM Respect, thats a damn nice job, would sure be made nicer if you got to drive them once in a while Cheers buh, Think I'll just aim to build a car that can lap as quick as the GT4 car with a gentleman driver... | ||

Yep that's right. Same front ARB, brakes (f&r), and chassis braces as a DC2. So made some money back selling those bits too. One good place to check is gumtree, and autotrader. Ones on ebay and the civic forums tend to go for a lot more as people know what the bits are worth | ||
