Any S2000 haters really need to drive one!

My friend bought one about 4 years ago.. told her to sell it after test driving it cause it the thing had no torque what so ever, you really need to rev the mighty 4 pot to get it going.. She bought a brand new Rx8 3 months after her S2000 purchase, a rotary, which is even more worse for torque

*facepalm*

S2k is a drivers car, you are obviously not one

Nothing wrong with having to rev it out, just drop a gear like a motorbike. It sure beat turbo lag in the traffic. The go kart handling is enough to impress me!

It does actually! Better than my R33 with sunroof :(

That's one thing the Euros did better than the Japs in the 90's...sunrooves that slid up onto the roof rather than into it, which creates more headroom.

Paul is referring to the fact that statistically the odds are against you as a p plater. There is a very large chance that you will stack it so why not stack something u don't give two Shits about

because 1 im fed up with older cars

2 i need something comfortable to daily and be able to hold a 6 burner range in the back

3 it has to look half decent

the ford ticks all those boxes, if i cant get the FG ill just settle for the BA

I spent 25k when i was 19 and 15 months later another 35k on a second car never had any problem just wasn't a dipshit driver - 0 accidents

Moh if it's for work then you'd be eligible for tax deductions of assume ? Tony could tell you better Though

    • 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.
