hmmm either something dodge is going on or im getting paranoid about my car...

I live in a small court which is sort of out of the way and not off any main roads. I normally park the car out on the road in the no parking zone :thumbsup: (haha no plates!!) cause we have like 9 cars and no where near enough space to keep em all.

anyway... in the last few weeks ever since its been stickered up there have been shite loads of people coming in and checking it out (hmmmm maybe i should have put a 4 sale sign on it...) aging from primary school to teens and oldies, everyone asking the same thing to each other... "WHAT THE **** IS IT???"

up until now i havent thought much of it and thought it was kinda funny... but last night at about 12am i came home from work and came around the corner and almost ran over about 15 people! there were another 10 on the foot path walking out and another 5 on the other side walking away... all in their teens and male and female... so i quickly went and parked the car and came out to the court and everyone had cleared out.

after i got out the car i checked over it... albeit in the dark... and everything, thank god was in place as i had left it... BUT this has prompted me to never... ever... leave it out there again ;) i took the front bar off, took it for a quick fang and then parked it up the drive again on the front lawn right near where the ridgeback lives :D

what do you reckon??? im paranoid? or better to be safe than sorry.

Last thing i want while im organising its sale to Jairus is some ass clown kicking in a panel or smashing the windows to steal the 5 gauges that are in it and what ever else they can pry out.

yeah if that many ppl already know about it and checking it out, i'm sure a few thieves or little shits with nothing to do but cause trouble won't be far away. put it in the safest spot u can. ur other cars i'm sure can be replaced alot easier then ur ceffy.

although i'm a pretty paranoid person when it comes to my own car, so maybe its just me, but yes its better to be safe then sorry.

I say if you have 9 cars, probably a few of them must be daily shitters. Just park one of them out, and put the ceffi into the garage. Nice and safe.

garage has the 1960 fairlane 500 in it and lots of furniture and crap... everything else is in the driveway, front lawn and out in the street :P

thats not a bad idea ceffo....

or maybe a manaquin arm hanging out the boot with dry blood?????

actually then the police might tow it away :cheers:

Dude just taking a REALLLY random guess... If its got a hand with blood on it out of the boot, I dont think the cops will be towing it away... I think they will be arresting you...

:cheers:

mate, never be too paranoid.. if you have that many people that know about it, some crim or too might be amongst them.. and seeing as u live in tha ghetto :) (dingley right?) I'd be a bit careful.

Happens all the time, people come look at cars, then knock them a week or so later, or word gets passed around to the wrong people.

      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.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
