Rule number 1 kids, be good to your mother. Rule number 2, buy genuine ford coil packs

Nah mate got sh*tty autobarn ones in it. I've had genuine ones in there until this set.

So I had my 'Nigerian' mate come over today to look at the car. Put the scan tool on- no codes Fuel pressure- f**ken heaps Injector pulse- yep Spark- no We seem to think that the jerking of the car may have been coils breaking down and now the car not starting is the result of a few dud coils. They are getting tested tomorrow, hopefully that's the problem so it's an easy fix.

Got to laugh mate, if not life is a very boring place. Not running yet, I ran out of time to do anything lastnight. I'm going to see my mechanic/tuner this afternoon. I believe it's got something to do with the reflash. The car has had issues ever since I built a motor at the middle of the year, if it keeps happening ill be finding someone else to work on it. I'll update when I find out what's happening.

Lol I knew it wouldn't be long until that old chestnut came up. It's in neutral........ I think.

He is as a matter of fact, he has told me to transfer $300 into an account so he can put fuel in his car to get here. Does that sound legit?

Yeah thought so, shouldn't have had all those beers today for bathurst lol. I've got a mate coming over with a scam tool tomorrow to test it all. I originally thought it was o2 sensor because it was running rough then wouldn't start but it started the next morning but wouldn't start after the re flash.

Yeah I've checked the o2 sensor is plugged in. Bionic- what's ckp?

Yep, I'm thinking crank angle sensor but its weird that it won't start after I flashed it

That's what I thought. I don't know of the misfiring is related or not. It had been sitting for around 2 weeks but was driven before it stopped starting. Using factory ford coils, plugs look fine, didn't remove anything electrically except for the power steering sensor.

Hey guys, I'm in need of some help or suggestions with my car. I finished fitting a new turbo to my car on Friday afternoon. After it was all fitted I started it up and ran it to operating temps and made sure everything was fine. I then took it on a 30k drive where It was running fine until on the way home. It started running rough, like it was miss firing and got worse the more it was driven. I accelerated a little bit and it went away but at cruising speeds and slowing down it was quite jerky. Anyway I got it home and into the garage, and left it running. I slowly brought the revs up but it was still missing. It was late at night and didn't want to annoy the neighbours so I let it sit overnight. Next morning I decided to reflash it thinking that maybe something with the new turbo had changed then tune slightly. After the reflash I tried starting it and all it does is crank over in the 2 tunes I have. I've checked it's got fuel pressure on the gauge and I can smell fuel, so I took one of the plugs out to check for spark which there is none. I'm wondering if something has $hit itself or if there is could possibly be something in the tune which won't allow it to spark?

This was me, I had done 3 yrs of my refrigeration trade but it to the point were the boss and I were always at each others necks. So I decided I was going to find myself a career I enjoyed, working on cars. I started a mature age apprenticeship at 24 as a panel beater. I stated when I started my interests were modifying, restoration and show car quality cars. It's a good feeling going to a car show and seeing half the cars there I had helped build. After time went on I earned myself a good amount of cashies to do on weekends, so after work I'd get in my car and go and work on others cars for another 4-5hrs after doing 8 at work. It started to wear thin very quickly, I found myself turning down jobs and just being lazy to work on the cars in my own time. In June this year I finished my trade and left the panel beating to work as a boiler maker doing fabrication on all kinds of fun stuff. I love it and my passion has come back to working on cars, I'm now building a car for a mate in my time and have another 2 ready to go when I get to them. I guess the moral of my story is don't always choose your passion or hobby as your job because then it becomes a job not an enjoyment.

Can't go but I've already stocked up on beer and dead animal to fry in the BBQ. Please get bulk photos of this http://www.v8supercars.com.au/championship/newsarticle/team-norton-djr-goes-true-blu/tabid/70/newsid/12952/default.aspx

Some of us cairns guys could organize to come down for a weekend if a few are keen

I'll be keen for one mate

That was scary to watch but soooo funny when you poo'd your undies. Was that the same night the timing thing phucked up on the last run, and we knew it was a quick run?

Pic of the earlier carnage

Yeah there's a bucket load of people that get there. Theres a few car related things on in FNQ this time of year. NQ pro burnouts lastnight, swap meet and car show in cairns today, warbirds in mareeba today and NQ nationals next weekend. How long you up for mate?

Mine was at a car show in cairns today and after that went for a blast up to port and back with 6 other T's.

Blueboost's car ran a 10.95 on stock BA motor

It's all good man. I just got the turbo off. I'm going to take it all into LK tomorrow morning to do it all there.

Ej if you want to swing around I'll have beers in the fridge :-)
