So, what did you do today?

I'm a recent convert from Blackberry to iPhone as well. Very impressed...neat little gadget. The usability is fantastic but the apps are the real paradigm shift. Take racing for example. Some guys are using just their iPhone for in-car video, lap times, and data logging. There's an app I have seen called Harry's Lap Timer which is pretty cool. http://gps-laptimer.de/Home.html Gives you lap times, sector times, mph at different points, OBDII data logging, shows your lines, analyzes braking points, g-forces, etc. and overlays it all with in-car video (taken from your iPhone). Here's the mph output from a buddy's lap at ECR when he was playing with it...it's not Motec or anything but looks fairly useful for a $9 app:




Marshall - I didn't think about it until just now but this might be a cheap, easy way to do some of the testing we want to do in AI next season if you don't already have a better solution lined up. Disclaimer - I don't yet own this app, am not affiliated with it in any way and have never tested it myself. I can't vouch for the accuracy or consistency of results. Just a thought...

I bought the rims used from a fellow AI racer earlier this year

I will say that I've heard more than a few bad stories about the FN01Rs but I've been running the 5zigen FN01R-C (cast) wheels most of the last 3 years and...well, they are not gently used - been very reliable - two were repaired this year and still spinning (reasonably) true.
Were those the cast or the forged versions Adam?

How much more of this can we ecpect as we add weight to the newer cars to try and keep things even?

good question

get the Race Monitor app while you're at it - can use your iPhone to pull live T&S data from anywhere that's broadcasting it (like say, NASA-TX... )

Was great to see the exact laptime down to the thousandth with just a tiny bit of delay as the data ping-ponged within the track, out to the 'net, and then over the air to my phone.

Cast.

I rode RRMT this weekend in Bultcher,Tx. on my big pig XR650.

Put the drivetrain back together... 6053.jpg

Oh, and pulled the rear housing of one of the T-56s and found parts of what looks like these on the magnets... 0703gm_16_z+t56_transmission_rebuild+.jpg

It is locked in what seems to be 4th gear. I'm guessing that i've got a shift fork and synchro issue but obviously will know more as I get it further apart. Good news so far is that the fluid that was left was clear and the gear wear I can see so far looks good. At this rate I might actually have a car running for MSRH.

Likely broke keys. The stamped ones suck. In your pic, they are the ones on the far right on the bottoom row.
The good stuff is on the top row. But!!!!!! Use the OEM type nylon pads (bottom row - left and middle) and the billet keys (top row - far right). The brass pads cause too much wear on the hard parts. The nylon pads are cheaper to replace than parts they are protecting. The brass pads will wear those parts and cost you more money in the long run.

Ahh, I thought they were LEGO pieces.

They "le go" alright... an when they "le go" you're done...
