i think it happened as i was coming off the throttle and onto the brakes, i think i was also at full lock steering. probly all driver error. i wasnt going that fast, maybe 40. i never had that problem during all the body off testing.

Maybe it's time for a chute to slow it down "thumbsup"

 

[STANG KILLA SS]

yeah cause the brakes suck. takes me as long to slow down as it does to get up to speed.

Still no video?

that was the plan for today. then friends showed up was lucky to get those 3 passes in

 

[STANG KILLA SS]

well i give up. ive spent the last 3 days trying to get a speed recorded with 0 luck. im so ****ing frustrated. EVERYtime i give it gas it shuts off the GPS unit. sometimes when i just raise the rear i give it gas it will shut off instantly, and sometimes it rolls 5 feet at low idle before it shuts off. but in MANY MANY attempts ive never got it to stay on for a pass. ive tried new batteries every pass in the GPS, ive tried mounted laying down, mounted upright, in the rear, in the middle, up front. ive even mounted it to the body, once in the top and once on the side door. NOTHING works. im so agrivated. and today i got kicked out of the church parking lot i was using.
out of curiousity i fired up the GPS as i was headed back to work, and it works just fine in the jeep.

id bet the motor is causing too much emi and causing your issues. some electronics are very suseptable to it.

see if you can get a lead sheet and wrap the motor,,other wise you might try running a wire from the negative side of the GPS pcb to the motor can,,you might be able to stabalize the field enough that way

Sounds like Jesus doesn't like your car. :-(

Even easier, get some wire screen (for screen doors) and wrap the gps in it.

What gps are you using? I kept a close eye on my Nuvi and its been working fine. Usually just zip tie it on top of the battery.

i had a thought...wrapping the gps in metal mesh would probably make it lose its signal. :roll:

You might just try making a shield instead to put between the gps and motor. Fold the mesh into a square a few layers thick and find a way to secure it. Should work.
