Where Do You Wash Your Pride And Joy?


Recommended Posts

i dont wash my car anymore, i get it handwashed properly by other people. i used to go to the self serve car washes but it used to cost me alot and after i've finished its still dirty, none of them clean my black car properly.

I wash my cars weekly (minimum) at the car wash on the corner of Boundary Rd & Lower Dandenong Rd.

Some times I use Ezy Bay car wash in Highett because it's near my house, but they don't let you hand wash like the other one.

I get the indian dudes at magic carwash to do it for me

$15 and they do a good job everytime :)

is that the new one that opened up near burvale on springvale rd near burwood hwy

i wanna try it

is it expensice

Hey guys,

Just wondering where abouts (other than at home) you guys wash your rides?

I've only been to one hand carwash in Burwood and it seemed OK.

If theres anything that makes the place better than the rest, shout it out!

I use the sparkling car wash in Burwood. It's right near the Vicroads. Good for bucket washing when times are quiet. Always have fairly clean bays too, and plenty of space to chamois or clean/admire your car.

I wash mine at a self serve place called "Pitstop" on High street Reservoir - near the KFC and Caltex.

$2 for 2 mins. Reasonably clean bays, the soap seems nice and strong especially on Tuesday nights - I'm guessing this is when they re-stock.

They have hand wash service during business hours and weekends - but I've never used them for that.

Tends to get 'crazy' busy, especially when the weather starts warming up.

Anytime after 10PM it is deserted.

I usually wash my car there after a night out - around 2AM.

I wash mine at Budget car wash on Ballarat Rd. $1 for 2 mins, I always hand wash it and it cost me $2 to get the job done. $1 for 5min to vacuum, $2 to shine the inside. Cost me $5 all up to get the car pimpin!!

Correction - it is $1 for 2 mins NOT $2 for 2 mins.

wow im surprised how many ppl on sau actually go to and use that sparkling cvar wash on burwood hwy thats pretty close to my house i always drive past i rarely see skylines there lol. i use sometimes the bp ones but my favourite is the aspendale gardens car wash corner of springvale n wells road.

    • 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.
