well I have finally done it!! I'm sooo proud of myself!!!

It's been about 5 weeks so far and I've been through all the hard tests like drinking alcohol, and sitting around (at BBQs, pubs etc) while other people are smoking.

So, has anyone else here quit?? How long did you smoke for and how did you go about giving it up?

Congrats.........................you are [now] already a better looking person as well as healthier. And you won't get around smelling like an ash tray. Keep up the good work, stay strong.

Nothing worse than seeing somebody with a ciggie hanging out of their gob. It's an ugly sight.

PS I gave up so long ago I'm afraid to say, but when a packet of smokes went $1 I said nu hu too much.

Congrats!

I gave up about 3 months ago aswell. I smoked for 10 years and allways hated it but could never quit. then oneday they went in the bin and that was it!

I feel heaps better and am not ashamed anymore. but every time I hit beer number 7 out come the ciggaz...

it makes me feel sick to think about it. ewwww.

damn you Shell !!!! :)

everyone's bugging me to stop smoking, but i havent even attempted it.

i think i gotta make the desicion for myself, and then it will work.

congrats. good work.

I know your pain!

Everyone I know who smoked gave up, and whilst they are pressuring me to quit - the more they push the more I don't want too!

Best of luck Shell! I quit a few years back for about a year.... Then I went to Indy and the rest was history :)

well done shell congrats.

as for myself i never thought of quiting nor don't think of quiting, other-half hates it when i spark up, but she put up with it for 2 years so i guess she can put up with it for a lot longer, as she says she can't wait for me to 'kark it' so that she can have the gtr when i do.

I fully respect other people when they say they hate smokers so i make sure i go for a walk (or in a corner) when i do. As for 'other-half' after i finish sparking up, i wash my hands, and fill mouth with tick-tacks, that keeps her silent for a while until i spark up 10-15mins later.

thanks everyone!! :D

Veilside, I probably smoked about 2 packs a week (of 40's). I know it doesnt sound as much as some, but i'd been smoking for over 10yrs so it was still hard :laugh:

The reason I quit was totally out of the blue... I just got the shits one night about having to pay $17 for ciggies at a servo (the only thing open when i finish work) and i was having a pov week and wasn't even sure if I HAD $17 in by bank account... so I thought fck it!

I'd never tried to quit before, I had always thought I will do it "one day" - so that night I decided that it was time!

i think i gotta make the desicion for myself, and then it will work.
this is SO TRUE... you gotta have it happen like I did where you actually WANT to quit and you're only doing it for your own reasons.

I didn't even tell anyone for the 1st week.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
