I don't want to be that guy, but, I was taught that you're not supposed to buff a car for at least 3 months (normally 6) because the paint has to de-gass.

Most paints are water based now, takes no time to dry these days....

When did you stop being all for men hugging in fields? I thought that was your 4th favourite thing to do?

 

Was till he ran outa lube... i think hes still soar and chaffed from last time

I thought it had to do with letting the paint finish hardening before you start cutting into it with polishes as it's still technically "Soft" for a while after its dry.

Think of paint like skin, kind of. When a car gets freshly painted, or when you buy a new car, the paints generally still in a stage of de-gassing, where all of the gasses from the paint are slowly releasing. If you start covering it in polish/wax,  you clog the "pores" on the paint and get imperfections. 

I've always been taught not to wash a car for 3-6 months after a paint job, although some paint shops have developed baking techniques to get the gasses out faster.

Ovens a pretty technical these days, my mates blow dries the paint inbetween coats then bakes it a different heat settings over a set period of time.

I would rather douse my genitals in hot sauce before dragging them through broken glass and razor blades, than drive a magna

 

 

Actually, I might do that anyway

So technical. I was thinking if you just went really really fast the air would dry it out?

    • 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.
