The British Police have had many many performance cars over the years particularly different counties where street racing etc was more prevelent. ^^

That "photoshopped" Evo doesnt look too disimilar to how I would expect one of the FQ range to look out of the UK. :(

Why is Dezz the only one here who gets it?

P R O M O T I O N A L

MMA supply the cars, some drunk guy with Paintshop does the decals (apparently) and the Hammers use these cars for city and central urban traffic duties.

Why? They stand out, people look, people see POLICE.

Same way people sticker up Smarts or Hummers (or Aston Martins) - so they are noticed and seen.

My brother was in charge of marketing for HSV when they provided the GTO to VicPol.

There was no cost at all to the Police - it gave HSV a chance to have their car seen (and talked about) and for the Police to have something flashy and prominent to help create a visible presence.

Expect to see this car heading up booze busses on St Kilda Rd, running traffic support for public events, and pulling over people on mobiles driving through the city.

Alan - MMUK FQ cars already out:

If you truly were awesome, you'd want a drive of the Superleggera.

Its like f*cking the sexiest chick in the world while you watch and high-five yourself at the same time - then someone kicks you in the kidneys, and the cycle begins again.

Left Autosalon on sunday as we got to the lights we saw the evo x cop car so we sped up, we finally got next to it and the cop puts down his window and goes hey boys what you think? we put our thumbs up said looks fkn sick man! we talked about the car for a while and he said its the best car he has ever driven and that he cant believe hes getting paid to drive it then when the lights turned green he floored it back went down off they went leaving a trail of smoke had to be the best cops i have come across so far since i have been driving they were just smiles and were happy to be out there and were not dick heads. We need more of these cops on our roads with an appreciation of Japanese cars!

see how happy ppl are when they dont have to drive around all day in a commodore?

    • 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.
    • 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.
