Hi all

Unfortunately some one broke into my garage and took my Blue Kincrome Toolbox and my Mint protools RO. The toolbox as quite a lot of tools in it. I think ive managed to squeeze it to its fill.

Completely spanner set in roll sleeve.

Completely imperial and metric socket set located on the top drawer in a red plastic moulding.

Lots of other tools, pliers, screw drivers etc.

If anyone sees these kicking around please infrom me via pm or phone 0403 568 217. Or if you are not comfortable contacting me feel free to call the police as a report has already been filed.

These item were taken from the Kensington area.

Spewing as I love my toolbox and I need to start from scratch again.

Really too bad about that. God I hate scum that do this. It's really crap that we work so hard for some low life to come along and cheat you.

Sorry for your loss.

Are there any bits you really urgently need? I might be able to look in my collection to see where I have duplicates. Noth'n special - crap really but might get you by.

In the Members' Subforum Dutch, there was a thread of Free Tools.

Nothing much is left over, but for what it's worth, there's a set of screwdrivers and one of those $35 plastic cased tool sets.

Contact me if you want them.

Kinchrome is great stuff. If some of them or other tools were pretty unique, or were marked with your Lic No., let me know (or in the Members' Section, let us know), and we'll keep a watch out.

Thanks alot guys. I take your offers to heart.

Its ok, I dont need anything desperately and i would only feel bad to take your duplicates. Except for if they are already up for grabs :)

Also its unfortunate that nothing has been marked. It will easily dissapear into the abyss.

Once again thank you for your kind offers.

Well, my dupes are actually more like triplet or quad (and not great - like Terry's friend's Cheap plastic case set). Just let me know cause I think I have the majority of a 3/8 socket set - at least the ones you need.

No problem at all, just taking up space cause I refuse to throw them away.

...and if you have "Home Contents Insurance", anything in the garage will be covered along with an "Event No" from the police + an inventory (at retail value).

An "Excess" would be deducted though.

Some basics are on their way tomorrow.

Don't know if you are a costco member but a while back they had these fantastic stainless boxes and drawers for unbeatable prices.

I'm kind of looking now cause I do need more space to properly store my tools. Will be going soon so I'll let you know if they have 'em.

Negative on the insurance claim. Its a shared garage due to being a apartment complex.

Its been safe for over a year haha. I still think its an inside job. Door wasnt broken or anything.

But the light at the end of the tunnel is, im a sparky so my tools can be claimed next financial year.

Im glad repco have good rep. I will definitely try them out.

Yeah, I don't mind the Repco tools either. The SCA ones, although passable, aren't nearly as good.

Sucks about your loss mate. If you need to do something in particular, I have a fairly well equipped home garage over on the Northern Beaches if you need to use a space or whatever. You bring the beer, and we're good.

Cheers,

Shazza

Repco tools also come with a lifetime warranty!

Most of my tools are repco branded. The worse I've done is put a very minor bend in one of the extension bars of my socket set... And I may or may not have had a 2metre piece of pipe on it to do so...

    • @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. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
