I hope this doesn't get moved and I would love someone dearly if they would sticky it.

I am looking at doing some research based on a theory that I have about our cars. I need test subject cars/drivers from different areas of the country (outside US are welcome also) who are willing to keep data for me for approximately 4-6 months. The subject of the study has caused several flame wars on this site so I will divuldge the details to those who are willing to participate. Please PM me if you are willing to keep said data and report it back for the specified amount of time. This will take approximately 10-30 minutes per week depending on your driving habits - so I am not asking for a huge amount of time. I plan to publish the results of the data along with the data for public comment when I have been able to compile everything and determine if my hypothesis was correct. I prefer to have any flaming saved until then.

Please contact me if you are interested in participating. I will take people as long as I can or until I can get 150 - 200 people on board.

On a side note - if you have any experience with setting up research studies from the beginning please contact me. I am not requesting long term help but would like a few people that I can run my procedures by to see if I am missing anything.

Thanks!!

 

ill do it..but what is it that im testing?

 

It's not a matter of actually testing in the usual meaning. It's gathering information and making an analysis of said data. I'll send a PM but I do not want the post to decend into a discussion of why I am wrong before I can get any data to see one way or the other.

 

I have experience on researching in aerospace studies lol..
hope this helps.. However, it heavily depends on what kind
of data are you looking for ..it is sth that has to be read off
from the ECU of the car.. i dun think i can help since i dun have
the equipment. Yet, if the kind of data that you are looking for is
easily readable .. i will be more than happy to help

sidenote.. i am still an undergrad student tho.

 

i wouldn't mind givin a helpin hand if the task isn't out of the norm.

 

Ok...this is to let anyone who may post on this thread know - I am about to be offline and off driver for a few days to get ready for and celebrate Christmas. Please send me a PM if you are interested in participating and I will get back to you as soon as I am back on the computer. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.

If you have replied to me already - please check your PM's.
