Brother in law just got of his P plates and has about 10k to buy a car, he seems pretty set on a lancer but i reckon there has to be something better......I may be wrong, but there just too girly to me

So throw some opinions at me, ideally post 2000 and under 100,000kms

Flirted with the idea of a falcodore,(it would be my choice) but i think he wants something better on fuel..

But when you get four blokes in a 4 cylinder they suck juice anyways...

R34 sedan would be cool, might throw that one at him, would you get one for 10k but

i kinda get the feeling that lancers are the IN thing these days, im old so wouldnt know anymore...lol

I have no idea why unless it has something to do with EVOs, but the average lancer is nothing like an EVO

P.S.Just found this, i reckon its cooler than a lancer

Lancers are cheap/easy to cosmetically mod, plus their cheap outright price.

They do exist below 10k, unlikely to get 2000 model, but '98s are easy enough. Stress to him the reliability of the RB engine.

Great first cars.

just tell him the 34 will attract the pussey.. and the lancer will attract the cawk.. and to buy the lancer if he loves the cawk..

R31 GXE and drop a few grand in it to look sweet. which leaves you lots of beer money and a car that is built good. wrecking yard parts source if required as well ?

mine has 485,000k on a unopened engine , besides the belts,pulleys, water pump

still purrs better the the R34..lol

or a Honda, they last forever and they make some cool parts for them...lol

chicks cars...with frangapani stickers in them

lancer, common

Hyundia, Common

Thats some damn good mileage mate..

Yeah he has a hyundai excel atm, im trying really hard for him not to make the same mistake again.. He has very little mech knowledge so it needs to be something simple..

Im all for the honda too but i cant find one cool enough at the right price...a couple of nice integras, but they are old.

looking through carsales but its amazing how many high mileage hondas are there in really good condition

Tell him to get this.... i'm still waiting for a perfect example to come by and i'll grab one myself.

I think they are the bees knees when it comes to looks

How about a 323 SP20?

http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/result..._Model_String|0

Got to be better than a lancer

maybe..but still very girly.. I've shown him a few sss pulsars , even a v6 5spd camry 1 owner 82000kms...that would move...even a few 200sx in price range...i just dont get the lancer fascination

I even met a guy selling a tomi makinenen edition evo... worth taking a loan out for if u ask me... but no...

how is this not mentioned yet? i would get that over an ER34 ANYDAY

2jz non turbo soarer. - 3L straight 6. p plate legal.

feature full and very tangible for under 10K

shop around he'd probably have some money left over.

dual airbags. economical. confortable drive. one of the safest cars on the road - nothing goes wrong with them - unlike dirty nissans... *cough*

why not consider a non turbo soarer???

but yeah - lancer - if that's what he wants... then that's what he wants.. my advice is, take him with you to test drive a lanEVO. ie: you drive it - cos he won't be able to... feel what an evo drives like - then take him for a drive in a lancer - just so he does actually know the difference between the two...

    • 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.
