Lol really? I don't know, even if my car was a bucket of shit(some would say a c180 is) I'd still look after it cosmetically as well as mechanically(not that I need to)

yeah you love the cosmetics, I mean you're always getting that crappy spray tan put on...

a c180 is shit..but when you get it bring it around for a buff...score me a detailing contract with mercedeses...

i'm fine with keeping an old car, but stop trying to polish a turd ffs.... just, slam it, get some better offset and be done with it... the car is too far gone to be a show car

I'd rather have a clean daily than a poser weekender. Anyone can put together a rough car, but I prefer to put effort in and get a good result at the end. Even if that takes another 7 years at least I will have the car I want and not have regrets about selling.

lol...harsh....but true, be better spent on new paint....I dont bother detailing mine much... :laugh:

plus it sits in my backyard so not much point....occasionally i try a new product on it but thats about as far as i get..

Fyi, The wet sanding was done on a fresh front spray by micolour

I know that feel bro

We can one day pass our car to our Grandkids haha

I wouldn't spend money on regularly detailing a car unless it was somethig special. But whatever car I drive in, I will always detail myself and wash weekly. I used to wash and wax the EA Falcon shitter I drove around in 3 years ago. Hardly worth it to most, but it was the cleanest looking EA Falcon around and the shine goes a long way in making any car look good (provided decent paint).

    • 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.
