Evening chaps!

Anyone know much about old ford F100s? Something around 1975-1980 era. Might be looking at buying a beaten up old one for a decent price....... V8 dual fuel... has a slight missfire, checking it out next weekend hopefully but if anyone has any experience with the old ford V8s it'd help.

I was hungover for most of it

Finally got cleared for work so no longer suspended. :down:

Back to work tomorrow, but thinking of chucking a sickie and playing some black ops.... it's habbit now

Morning Mangs,

How was the weekend?

Went and did Q Ride on Saturday. Smashed it so I can go in and get my RE license this morning. Then all I need is to get the bike RWC and regoed and I'm good to go. Hopefully just in time for the rest of the stuff for the GTR to turn up and it won't matter if I'm without it for a week or so.

So what's on for this week. Talk of laserforce last week is that a goer or what?

Don't you have enough cars already?

Probably just needs new leads and plugs if it's missing.

Those old dual fuel systems can be a bitch.

Weekend was pretty good. Finally watch The Walking Dead. Was good, need Moar. Not till November though :(.

Also started taking the pool down, which involved syphoning a huge amount of water into the park, where the council had apparently just put down topsoil. LOL.

Nice.

Dunno, ask Scottaaayyy. For the record though, C.H. is now open again.

If i get this I'd either sell the laser, or use the f100 exclusive for our band gear.

Yeah I figured it would just need a basic tune up... the only issue would be the gas system, know nothing about them and couldn't fix it myself. Having said that, if she runs ok on petrol I could just run it like that until I get the gas fixed...hmmm..

burn old steering wheel in a fire?

Martin:

I might have aquired an Iphone, i'm going to shoot mine. Why are you getting rid of the pool? selling it to build a shed??

Ravi:

I'm awesome at fixing american pickup trucks with dodgy electronics, just don't fit a dodgy B&M shifter i can only find reverse when i want drive and 3rd when i want reverse

From a cost effective point of view you'd be better of buying a VW van or something. F100 parts would be hard to source I'd imagine. It would be sick though. Mind you, I used to bum around in an old liberty wagon with a drumkit in the back, two guitars, a bass and two 50w amps. It was cramped, but it worked

F-truck parts are easy to come by, theres lots of them on the road and most of the parts aren't anything special

mmmm.... fire.

I might have aquired an Iphone, i'm going to shoot mine.

Keen to watch. Or, reckon we can go to southport indoor pistol club and pwn both of them with hand cannons?

Why are you getting rid of the pool? selling it to build a shed??

Fence doesn't meet new council requirements. Filter is f**ked. Pool is rusty.

Basically needs a shit tonne of money to be able to keep it and totally not worth it since it's always full of aids anyway.

Am going to try and convince dad a shed will go there nicely...

I'm awesome at fixing american pickup trucks with dodgy electronics,

Truth. Although I still think my plan to fix it was just as awesome.

just don't fit a dodgy B&M shifter i can only find reverse when i want drive and 3rd when i want reverse

I always said you got your licence in a cereal packet.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
