Goodguys Shootout
CSX3170 came through again this year. We had some anxious moments because they sealed the surface at West World just before the event. We could not get a handle on a way to get traction back but finally got it to work with rake angle, toe, and shock settings. The ABS worked perfectly on the last 4 runs but is throwing a "implausible Yaw event" code when ever the engine goes over 8000 rpm. I am hoping Bosch will help us determine if it is a electromagnetic, or electronic noise causal factor. Voltage is a solid 14.5 according to the data logger. The steering gear needs rebuilding now and it is time to pull the rockers, change the oil and filter, drain the cooling system and give it a rest till next spring.

Congratulations on a great job and congratulations for using your Cobra as it was intended!
|
Congrats on finishing out the season well. As previously stated, that is what a cobra should be doing. Not just being a garage queen. Good luck on next years competitions.
|
Awesome!!! Congratulations again. What an accomplishment to transform that Cobra into something that handles like that!
|
Hell yeah!
|
Congratulations Bruce and Scott
|
Ditto to all the congrats. Great job!
Cheers Greg |
The two of you would get my vote for the outstanding Cobra owners of the year on this forum (If there was such an award)for your inspiring wielding of the fine but crude weapon that a Cobra is and proving that knowledgeable and experienced applied to upgrading of old technology and the driving thereof can beat any new offerings.
Thank you for the ongoing reports - I thoroughly enjoy, them and congratulation on your well deserved success - long may it continue. |

We did have two areas of trouble one with steering and the other with new ABS. I am having the power rack rebuilt and replacing the pump which should solve steering catch issues. The ABS is a different matter it turns itself off at inappropriate times for 2 seconds then reactivates. The error code is "Yaw rate signal not plausible". It only occurs above 7900 rpm which makes us think it is either mechanical vibration of the sensor itself (it is in rubber iso mounts) or it is some electrical noise on the system buss. Trying to get help from Bosch to solve this one. The voltage in system is a solid 14.5 looking at logs, and it appears to be clean. I am thinking vehicle vibration but will wait to hear Bosch input. It is really giving Scott fits because when that light is on for 2 seconds he has no ABS. Hard to build driver confidence like that. |
What happens to your times if you turn it off?
|
No ABS

That is an impressive result. Not really surprising though for the ABS.

Goodguys season is upon us. Any planned events?

The report button seems a good first step, I assume followed up with a PM to Jamo for extra awareness.
I’d recently read on another site that Jamo said he needed to create an online curriculum pronto for the law course he teaches (at night I believe), in addition to his regular work schedule. So, Coronavirus may well be impacting his schedule understandably. I assume he can help assist directly, or facilitate indirectly, with something like this as time allows. He’s been muy busio for sure! Brent |
I used the report and asked that the password be reset.

Bruce Reason your long post as a new member didn't go through is from the long-time filter to control spamming. Simply requires a few more posts by you to be able to post pics or link to other sites, etc. Been explained many times. It would've helped if you had PM'd me...TwoShelbys did but I suspect you were already frustrated. Trying to help...respond to my PM to you! Also emailed you from site with my personal email for you to respond to. Can't help you without you being engaged. |
