Forgot to mention this the other day, and it's far from a Supercar. It was pretty decent for its time when it came out though - I spotted an old Mazda 626 coupe in mint, original spec during the week. It was the factory two-tone silver over blue with a red stripe, had factory alloys, etc. I'll post a link of what model it was when I jump on a PC.

A mate had one of these back in the day; it was such a nice handling car; really nice to drive.

When I was a 1st year apprentice one of my instructors had one with a 13B in it; now THAT was a nice car.

The driveline it should've had from the factory.

IIRC; the suspension is identical to S2/S3 RX7; but on a slightly longer wheelbase.

You're talking about the old RWD ones, Dale? I knew someone who had built a yellow one of those too, with 13b built by his brother, interior done by another brother (who did my interior retrim in the Stagea), and it was beautiful. Their attention to detail is incredible, they all take pride in their work.

The car I saw the other day was the first of the FWD ones, though.

Like this, with these factory alloys, etc., but no body kit:

Yep Nick, the RWD ones. :yes:

I'd forgotten about the FWD one; christ that bodykitted one is ugleh.

Always had nice interiors though.

Needless to say, we had some catching up to do at Jesus Racing's "Life In The Fast Lane".

Some people might know his son Adam Leung - Driving Instructor

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
