park next to a new falcon in that colour, see how close they are!!

can give the paint code for that no worries!! yeah black is a little hassly to paint over !

but the colours do look very close, bit of a shame can really see the gold pearl on the car and the stripes very well!!

Nah left the engine bay black, will look cleaner overall!!

and way way less work!!!

engine bay still looks pretty standard, polised the engine/cam covers with a drill based buffer but thats about it!! will post some if you still want them!!!

that is one nice paint job! My mum recently bought a new Toyota Echo (don't laugh, i know it's crap :P but it's our 4th car) and it has a pretty damn cool paint job, blue/gold. In one light it's blue, in another gold. It looks pretty awesome even if the car is a piece of junk :S

But yeah, AWESOME paint job. Seems your hard work really paid off!

    • 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.
