OR! Tell him to get one of those new Toyota 86s! ;)

They are surprisingly cheap and seem pretty awesome, I must say I'm a big fan of them.

Not enough powah. Wait till they release a turbo version... They totally will.

goes against the philosophy of the 86, it's all balance and handling.

Lets be honest. The only reason the old 86 made it anywhere is because of initial D. Apart from that it was a cheap shitbox that people could drift. And in todays standards of cars its not too much to ask a car competing in the market it is to have a turbocharged option. Whats the point in owning a car that can go around a corner a bit faster than your average if it cant accelerate out of it....

The fact it's so underpowered for what it's competing as is the only reason I dislike them.

As Anthony said, racetracks have straights. My mate who owns one loves it, but hates the fact it's gutless below 4000rpm.

I hear what your saying. But thats the current Toyota philosophy and is fine for your "comuters" and the regular population.

In my opinion It should be optioned up to mix it in the sports classs. Perhaps it may be left up to the enthusiasts to do this - who knows.

It's great to see you post Dan. WB :cheers:

They should have mate the GTS 5k more and made it a turbocharged option. It's just not quite there in terms of powahhh.

I'm not against seeing it boosted, just can't see how it could be introduced without upsetting their focus and marketing of it. besides, where better to get that boosted feeling than the gtr?

in the end, I think the bean counters will have the final say.

LOL - yeah, I comment about as much as I drive my gtr! must get around to meeting up with you guys some time (I've been sitting around for years...) :)

There isn't any new cars that sit in that cheap, quick market. The 86/BRZ would completely rule it.

My 1998 Prelude VTiR has the same KW's at the fly.

Admittedly its front wheel drive but why would I buy an 86 (spose it is RWD) but other than that - meh

Haven't gone far in over a decade

Exacery. And 40k isn't cheap for a daily bash around drive lol.

    • 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.
