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.

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
