do you even have a license to drive?

Probably had his dad in the passenger seat.. Now that is hektic.

Hmm.. Think I will go visit Vu this week. Cbf finding another panel shop as cheap as DT's. If they don't get it right then I'll just complain until they do.. They did a great job on my last car anyway.

ffs, you're hellbent on halfarsing everything on your car aren't you?

It was the cheapest GenIII MR2 I could find. So yeah I'm trying to save money where I can. I just want the kit on and the rust removed. It's not really a hard job. DT's did a great job on my old MR2. I seriously couldn't fault it.

It doesn't need to be perfect. It's had a SHIT respray already. Like overspray in the wheel wells and stuff haha

If you're getting a respray then maybe you should get your balls in a bunch and pay a little extra to pump those guards out as far as they'll go (ie take it to a panelbeater) so you can tuck your wheels in.

I'm not going to respray the car. Just gonna fit the kit and be done with it.

Not going for rear spacers anymore. Just leaving it as is. I've realised that I'm actually happy with how it sits and that trying to please other people (i.e. sau wasteland) is just a waste of time/money.

I will try to get the fronts pumped a bit though. Vu's people could do that though yeah?

Billy JB HI FI have fairly good prices on laptops, when I got mine I looked at a lot of computer shops and traveled to get it.. when really for pretty much the same price could of just gone to local JB.

Stay away from HP seen too many friends get issues with there HP laptops, stick with Asus or something. As for what hardware to get.. hard to say really not sure what $1k will get you now days as its always changing just make sure you get a decent CPU.

well any painter who properly paints cars will want to blend it into the rest of the panels anyways, so when they quote, they won't just quote for painting the kit, they'll also quote to paint up to fold lines on neighbouring panels. so regardless your quarters will get painted partially, which means you might as well get them pumped while you're at it.

that's how a proper painter would do it anyways, dunno if you get that much attention to detail when you slum it.

if you've ever seen a car with different panels that have slightly different shades or pearls, it's because neighbouring panels haven't been blended. if you didn't do the original job you won't know what colour basecoat was used, what blend was used for the clear, what composition of pearls etc... which is why any good painter will insist on blending.

umm ipad is good funky, well for me its good for work overall its fair useless but a laptop isnt convenient for me.

i drive everywhere, I don't commute on PT, when I'm at home I'm either on the PC or doing stuff that don't involve PC's or watching TV. I have an iPad, but I use it for developing apps. I tried watching movies on it, and it sucks at it. I tried reading a book on it and it sucks at that too. It's only good for playing iphone games on a slightly bigger screen.

also mad homo move to buy an ipad now when they just released the patents to the next version.

nah for me and my work the ipad is perfect, i dont use it for movies and games and shit theres a real estate app. for OFI's and stuff so good for that and presentations/pitching for business the interent is quick and its much less cumbersome than pulling out a laptop.

for all intents and purposes a laptop is a superior option in every way BUT this is convenient and the 2-3 things i use it for its fine.

email/calender/work

yeah our sales people use ipads to do pitches and show book designs and manuscripts as well. useless for browsing interwebs though, like post whoring on forums and shit.

Agreed. HP suck balls.

Acer on the cheaper end of the scale, Asus are slightly more expensive. Both are great. I've had my $600 Acer laptop for nearly three years. I drop it all the time, throw it around and generally abuse the crap out of it. Still perfect.

    • 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.
