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 wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
