what cars are in the 15-20k bracket that fit the following, looking at cheaper options to see if any grab me sufficiently to sway me from the 35k+ evo x

small/medium sized car, dont need a land yacht.

Turbo (minor mods will net ~200kw+)

decent factory options (if they have them and what), cruise, ok stereo, auto wipers/lights etc

fairly new 06+

can be had with fairly low km, 50-80,000km

so far the list is

Ford XR5 (5 cyl volvo engine (do rate), only comes in manual)

Mazda 3 MPS (good engine, bit laggy but makes butt loads of torque, only comes in manual)

WRX (has boxer engine, dont mind the sound, but not sure if i want that sound ALL the time)

Ralliart Lancer (Has DSG ONLY, but from owners of them i have been told the suspension is quite pedestrian as are the brakes)

MK 5 Golf GTi (Has DSG option, almost all have 100-150+ km, not the best of the GTI models, engines are a bit weak if modded much)

FWD is for teh gheys....

If after reading this your list has narrowed to 2 options, that is acceptable

If it is narrowed to 3, then GTFO

For that bracket/specifications he'd only have WRX, not STi though... I don't mind the hatch look itself. WRX was gonna be my suggestion, though.

Golfs, would only want an R really but they're more monies... same with the Sirocco (also it's fwd... should have made it awd like the R)... maybe mkv R32 or GTD ?

Thought about any euros besides the golf?

Not sure on prices, and they're probably into large car territory, but fg f6 is pretty powahhh. Or maybe xr6t?

Or you know... Just buy the X :P

MPS certainly doesnt float my boat, even though im FWD biased. Ugly, large, relatively heavy and somewhat complicated engine from what I can gather.

XR5 turbo comes recommended, but I'd go a bit further and go volvo personally. 3" inch straight through, tune and LSD and you're done

whos the biggest wanker here...

the gym wanker with spindles.

the bro curling wanker in the back ground?

no its the phone wanker in the gym. f**k you mate.

closely followed by everyone who ever went to a gym.

Xr6t , don't mind them but it's large and I don't need a car that big.

Haven't looked at other euros, don't want anything horribly expensive to fix though.

2 votes for the wrx hatch

2 votes for the xr5

my vote only counts for WRX if STI - otherwise vote defaults to evo 9 which I added to your list whether you like it or not

from what I understand it's a BP motor, same as the mazda GTR. That being the case it would be pretty to get 200kw from with no issues, and at 1 tonne that's pretty damn fun!

what's the gearbox like though, is it made of glass like the GTR?

Lol why so much hate

Go to the gym, do your thing and go home.

    • 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.
