Damn those Swedes and their keenly priced flatpack temptations.

And their carpark.

Indeed, probably getting back at my LOLvo for not being the genuine Swedish article...

I resent that.. ;)

Too bad about the paint though.. What was the cause?

I'll go out on a limb, and say it was a yellow car park pole........

Correct, I reversed into a yellow parking bollard. I was tired and wasn't paying proper attention - lucky for me it wasn't another car or, even worse, a person.

I luv the brick duco on the guard. Where did you get it?

The what, Hugh? If you mean the terracotta colour on the ground, then it's just concrete paint/sealant that's slowly being removed so we can repaint it.

Major operation today..

I filled 'er up :whistling:

lol you get used to that. I drove to Canberra for a meeting yesterday morning....2 tanks required. The way that engine pulls is spectacular....but so is it's fuel use

On a similiar note to the reverse incident above, kurbed my rim.

Had them a year and haven't touched a thing....

Rushing in pulling into traffic with a crying bubba in the back gets you this:

No dent, just a rub.

Filled the gash up with permanent marker as per importers recommendations... glad I didnt powder coat them dark grey now.

That's why I hate stretched tyres. I'd rather rub a soft tyre against a gutter than damage my wheels.

Not to mention streched tyers look GEEHHAAYY! And have no performance Advantage.? Stupid fasion

lol you just upset so many drifters (if such people still exist, they are probably "time-attackers" now).

can't beleive the number of people that have told me that stretched tyres are better than a correct fit. They all knew better than a) the manufacturers and b) the race teams (all the way up to f1). I've never seen a stretched tyre on a serious race car

Dont want to start a stretch vs no stretch debate, I agree with all points (except maybe the homophobic bit), but 245s are as big as I need and aren't super stretched.

This size was even on the tyre's data sheet to match my rim size.

265s would be great but then I would rub guards and my car would not gain any everyday useable grip with only basic suspension and brake mods.

I could've spent the same money on a cheaper tyre type that were wider and have less grip in the end.

In the end nothing would've saved a 19" rim from the angle I glanced the kurb on.

Fitment looks good bud, don't listen to anyone else, mod the car to suit you.

    • 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.
