This thread has had me smiling all the way through remembering how much fun I actually had as a child. Top work, its been good therapy lmao.

Cant beleive how great peoples memories are, kept on saying "oh yeah" as someone mentioned things such as nick knocking, army, fat cat, voltron, he man, BMX ghosties etc.

Have no idea how people remembered cordial in the supermarkets lol.

Great point on kids not playing in the streets anymore but I guess the world we live in is not the same anymore with the amount of kidnapping, molesterers, murderers etc.

Things I remember not mentioned already:

The local milk bar had:

Barney Bananas, "the foot", rainbow paddle pops, SUNNY BOYS FOR 20 CENTS!!, Bubble o Bills, "mates" lollies, racing car lollies, love candy, sherbet bombs and Sherbet straws. And smokes were under $4.00 and a note from Mum was good enough to sell a packet to a five year old.

KFC was called Kentucky fried chicken. McDonalds sold chicken as well. People went to Red Rooster.

If you had a Redline, Mongoose, PK ripper, diamond back or Haro BMX you were god. Anybody see a BMX movie called RAD? Or skate movie called Thrashin?

Magazines were full of cigarette ads.

Pinball games to play were Galaga, hyper olympics, double dragon, Wonder boy and then onto Street fighter and Mortal Kombat.

Tv has been mostly covered but I will add Astro boy, the A team with Mr. T, WWF wrestling with Hulk Hogan, King Kong Bundy, George the animal steele etc and Different strokes, oh and Romper room.

Friendship bands, Skeg bands.

40 kids gathering around the playground to watch two people "tongue" lmao.

Run DMC, beastie boys, public enemy,Guns n Roses, Poison.

Shaving stripes in the side of my head.

LA gear, Reebok pumps, Jordan fives, Brittish nights, Cons

Peter Brock, Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansel, Tony Lockett, Warrick Cappa, Diego Maradona, Pat Cash, Stefan Edberg, Ivan Lendl, Navratilova, Steffi Graf and Gabriela Sabitini.

Gee, it all comes flooding back when you think about it. Great thread.

This is a great thread. I'm going to add to my list as I think of things.

Best game ever -

excitebike.gif

Yeah we used to have that game. Excitebike I think it was called. Kung fu was another game we had and we had the robot that was an add on on the Nintendo.You had to spin the shit out of these gyro top things and put them in the robots hands to open or close doors in the game

    • 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.
