make: mitsubishi

model: colt glx

colour: white

year: 1989

kms: 157xxx on clock, stopped 2weeks after pruchase...

rego: until april 2010

accident history: none that i am aware of. has small scrape on front drivers corner of bumper and small dent in under front bar (probably from a parking lot gutter or something....anyways it isnt major and i ddint do it)

comments: champion little vehicle. no it doesnt go fast. no it wont make chicks wanna sleep with you. yes it uses a bit of oil and water (its a mitsubishi duhh) no you cant fit a rb26dett under the bonnet, it doesnt use much fuel, and i havent been able to fault it since purchase.

new stuff:

thermostat

battery (last month)

rear tyres (2 months)

spark plugs (added 45megakillawattshappenings!!)

new coolant (bottle is still brown coated and inside radiator probly is too, but it doest get hot)

new muffler (peashooter haha)

good stuff:

light on fuel

interior is in excellent condition bar one small glue run from a factory emblem and a couple of vents missing a blade or two.

starts first time, everytime

rides well

excellent run around car

has bluebird Cheviot rims

bad bits:

rotors need machining soon

car has a new tappet cover gasket but still weeps a bit of oil, maybe it wasnt seated properly i dunno, or maybe it just a mitsubishi thing?

its only a 3 speed auto lol

couple of seems of rust starting to appear along bottom insides of doors (cant get my finger of screwdriver into them yet so not that bad)

has small air leaks around back doors (doesnt leak water, but may annoy some people, i dunno, i used it as air con haha)

it only an EOI atm, but if my coupes passes engineering on friday (it will) then ill take monies then.

redbook value these between 1000 and 2200.

im asking 1000.

im not sure how to post pics on here, but ill gladly email you some.

    • 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.
