Funny you mention Cadwell Park , its not 10 minutes from where I am buying the car :) (the most likely candidate anyway...pending Sunday's inspection.)

Chuckie, are you a local? Anywhere you suggest that could give the car a once over. The people I am speaking with are all miserable and as soon as I call from Australia they are not interestd. More then anything just need a compression check of the engine.

Other pain in the as55 is telegraphic transfer may take up to 3 days so not sure how I can speed up the process other then to withdraw cash and where the fees :(

And yes people, this car is soo trashy and so me.... only a romantic would pay the asking price for this dinosaur :)

edit..scrap that...silly UK. Lincolnshire ... confused it with Lancashire :(

Hi Roy have some mates up bit further but maybe able to give me heads up on a local guy i will ask them,

Look Cadwell is a wonderful track it has the LOT hills a nice JUMP pinch.gif ,cars do FLY lol.not as well as the BIKES do :whistling: ,

i will drop you a PM see what i can do to help you out,

Cheer`s Chuckie.

Just waiting for Police and insurance check...already has AP 6pots and 18" Compomotive wheels, even a matching spare. Even runs pectel ecu, so only the best gear has been used on it..so that means I am on the hunt fir a Pi dash to run with it

oh yeh, thats the plan. Will see if it breaks. Figure that Count bought an S13 from Melb years ago...only for us to pay for it and go straight to PI for the weekend...the thing ran spot on...so have to see if the Cossie can match that performance...there is also a day at lmola this Friday... problem will be getting there if payment takes more then two days to clear

..Good thing to know that insurance companies are carnts no matter which country you are in. Not a single broker or mainstream insurer will cover me due to not being a UK resident, not holding a UK licence or the type of car (or combination of) So knowing they blew me off over the email last week, didnt expect after 5 hours of calling over 12 insurers that I would not have a policy

Snowie, or anyone else...any throughts or experiences when you were looking at exporting your cars over here for giggles. The one thing i didnt count on is in all my previous discussions I had a work permit as was a resident...not the case now....just a lowly gypsy on holidays

Fark, this is the country of club motorsport, classic cars, and students and professional secondment. Cant believe you need to be a UK resident/licenced to get a car. I asked what would happen if I flew over from Ireland and needed to get the car insured until i got back to Ireland and they didnt know :(

    • 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.
