Guys, some new information has just come to my attention. This contradicts a lot of the original post in this thread about this show 'n' shine, and i don't know what to make of it. apparently this is stated on the entry form for the show

• Submission or delivery of this form to the Ford Show N Shine signifies acceptance and willingness to comply with all show policies and procedures.

• Confirmation of your entry will be provided upon receipt of your fee of $10.00/$15.00 per vehicle entered. Your entry fee(s) must be received no later than close of business Friday November 4th 2005.

• Make cheques payable to FPV & XR Owners Club of ACT.

• Entries will have 1 ½ hours of set-up time, from 8.00am to 9.30am on November 20th, 2005.

• Vehicles will be on display from 9.30 am to 4 pm. (vehicles must remain until show finishes)

• Vehicles must be removed from the grounds site by 5.30 pm.

• Judging begins from 11 am. Awards will be announced at approx 2 pm.

• Every entrant’s vehicle will be judged.

• Each entrant will need to provide a drip tray for each vehicle. This is mandatory.

• We reserve the right to refuse any entrant at our discretion.

• There will be no refunds due to bad weather or circumstances beyond our control

So if this is the case, i don't think any of us will be able to enter our cars, and i don't particularly want to look around at a bunch of Fords

Ok guys, i found the error.

It appears there are 2 (read: two) show 'n' shines on Sunday.

Marques in the Parks is being run by the Morris Minor club ACT and is a FREE Event.

the FPV & XR owners club are also hosting their Show 'n' Shine which is a paid entry event. this is not the one we want to go to.

That's how i understand it. I don't know how many of your are famliar with John Knight Park, i went for a walk there last weekend. It's got a big grassy area, which is where the ford people are going to be, since they need drip trays. The Morris club (Marques in the Park) people might either be there as well, or in the carpark at the top of the park. there was parks for about 100 - 150 cars in the carpark at a guess.

We'll probably find out more on the morning, it doesn't start until 10am, and we're planning to get there at 8am when setup begins.

but yes, there are 2 show 'n' shines in the same park

i went and had a bo peep at this a couple of years ago (maybe last year?) and all the cars were in the grassy area, but there was a strong ford presence.

the set up could have been one big show n shine but the ford blokes have awards etc...??

might be similar this year??

I think you're right. the ford guys seam to have it setup as a fair dinkum show 'n' shine, where as the Morris club guys just wanted to get other car clubs out to show off. they're the guys that invited all the other car clubs like REACT and SAU to it.

F.Y.I.

And I'll see those of you that can make it on Sunday,'K?

Well that makes it easy for us then, no one will be there when we arrive to park. Should be a good day, i'm excited.

Remember, MACCAS BELCONNEN (opposite the college) 7:30AM depart 8:00AM for JOHN KNIGHT PARK so we can have the SAU crew together

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
