Title: Car Software...
Post by: 301Customs on May 10, 2007, 03:50:29 PM
I write computer programs for work and as a hobby.  Not a high end programmer, but I do OK.

I put together a program to do things like convert tire size from cm to inches and give estimated 1/4 mile and 0-60 based on HP and vehicle weight.

If you folks want, I can put together a program for helping with the Cobra builds (i.e. build tracking, photo book, cost tracking, formulas, whatever).

I am not looking for business or to charge anything, this is completely free.  I am just seriously board and looking for a project unitl I can get my Cobra ordered.

Drop me some ideas and I will see what I can put together.

I have a basic program for car building already put together.  It is not pretty but it is funtional.

Let me know, it is free to anyone who wants it and any input would be appreciated.  Again this is because I am board I am NOT selling nor will I sell this.  It is free and my contribution to the Cobra world.

If Hurricane would like something for their customers let me know.  Again, I am not looking to charge, just seriouly board.

I've always wanted something that I could put in engine specs and get a rough idea of HP. I know it wouldn't be super accurate or even if something like that is possible, but it would be neatr to compare componets before buying.

I would have to see if I could find the formulas.

Once I have those the rest is easy.

Will see what I can dig up.  If you find something in the mean time let me know and I will use it.

Hey Dave,
It sounds like you have some great ideas. I like the cost and build tracking ideas. I'd certainly be intersted if you came up with a program for this.

Working on the software now.  Started in VB6 but changed to VB.NET so this may take a bit longer as this is a bit of a learning curve for me.

Will post preliminary code when I get it done if that is "forum" ok to do.

OK, I have the preliminary stuff for the program done.  I need to find out from the moderators if it is ok to post the software in the forums.

If so, I will need some folks to run it through it's paces and let me know of any issues as well as any changes or enhancements that might be good.
