  4. haha that's an interesting take... manual is fun morning all, happy Monday 🌒
  5. morning all, happy Sunday 🌑
  6. I guess the pins in the connector have a "amp" rating, also...
  7. didn't see a pic around there, no big deal though... there's one in this thread on topic for this thread, I wonder if you can re-pin the stock connector with higher gauge wiring... I guess not?
  8. This post mentions it... solid throwback -> https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95767-puffwagons-territory-adventures/?do=findComment&comment=1717247 Also some good advice here -> https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96495-safe-to-put-in-bigger-fuel-pump/?do=findComment&comment=1709117
  9. either you're really unlucky or the specifications of that wiring kit installed wasn't up to snuff... hmm
  10. morning all, happy Saturday 🕦
  11. morning all, happy Friday 🕚

  13. PCV can cause weird stalling issues like that, as the idle is a touch too low.
  14. haha fair enough, plenty of time for that sort of thing
  15. ooh footings... pics -> https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/97278-puffwagons-dyno-tuning-adventures/ or here -> https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91333-new-build-home-renovations-gardens-garages-sheds/ morning all, happy Wednesday 🕙
  16. seems like something you'll have to test... it's usually specific to an actual make/model of tyres and what they can take in your situations (grip on the street, type/quality of road etc)
  17. morning all, happy Tuesday 🕤
  18. On the left is the "before" and on the right is the "after". Not as obvious the difference in the carport section (only cleaned from that line of yellow-ish bits, e.g. only the concrete rectangles, as had cleaned to the yellow-ish bits for the housewarming party ~Aug 2024). Started out cleaning that "dirty water" stain on the top-right, which was from cleaning the missus' car on Thursday, but got a bit carried away and cleaned that whole section and also the front (the driveway in the "above" shots is much more obvious in it's difference in cleanliness, aside from a few leaves that blew onto it before I got the screenshot from the security camera footage haha) some stubborn spots still need some proper degreasing, perhaps, but that's for another time
  19. ended up just doing some more high pressure washing... on the "front yard" section turned out great, as expected morning all, happy Monday 🕘
  20. So... this came back to get worse... my "fix" with the ratchet strap meant the water didn't properly get to the drain anymore and too much of it ended up further back... oops, should have run a water-flow test... The water tray got very heavy with A/C dripped water and leaked from a different spot further back straight through the metal again (to the right of that pic/vid above)... annoying... more plaster damage... but then it got MUCH worse as the entire tray "buckled" and down comes litres of built-up water into the insulation and plaster... and soon enough, the plaster's like "yeah, f**k this, I'm out": Made a bit of a mess (excuse the blurriness of the photo, as Kelli was in a hurry to clean up the mess to prevent too much damage to the floor as well): Kelli also had good foresight to put a sheet over the table to catch this bit falling on the table/chairs: It got a little worse over time: You can see the beginnings of a tarp we put up to "seal the heat from the roof in the roof" as it was quite a hot night. Here's my handiwork to attempt to "fix it" properly (while Kelli did most of the cleanup): The Red arrow points to where the water was pooling (slightly off frame) and shows the "standard drain bends" in the tray heading toward the drain pipe... The Yellow arrow points towards the only remaining "low" point (and also where the original "leak" came from where the metal buckled a bit along that "wall") after lowering the ratchet strap and mounting the entire "tray" higher around all edges /corners (confirmed with a bubble level that it should all drain properly now...)... the Orange arrow points towards where the "sealant" had cracked/failed underneath (the yellow-ish looking stuff) the pipe and where I added some more sealant to repair it (the pink-ish coloured bit). In this one, the Red arrow points towards one of my mounting screws (before the "fix", the tray hung down below the actual body of the A/C unit), the Orange arrow points towards where the metal leaked and buckled and the yellow arrow points to where the plaster/insulation dropped out. This was all late on Thursday night... Enough damage was done that we had to make a claim on house insurance... fun times Yesterday morning a few people came around to "make it safe" by adding some wood to stabilize it all and to use a de-humidifier & blower to dry the ceiling section over the next few days:
  21. morning all, happy Sunday 🕣 ... last day of annual leave and back to the grind tomorrow... might do some more tree trimming today, if the weather holds off.
