Yeah I should as my suspected cause there ain't the cause. Went F6 injectors (reconditioned, bought from Pitlane). Tune in the car must be maxing the living sh*te out of the stock injectors so this will give me a bit more of a safety margin. I'll then tweak the tune for a bit more, do the pump and probably run it up on the dyno somewhere with knock ears etc to make sure I've ended up with something safe. I'm currently getting my long term trims pulling fuel (and have a new O2 sensor) so chucked the FPR in for good measure. Keef, Puff is talking 'bout PCMTEC forum. Edit: whoops post cross over

Went out to fit new spark plugs. Ended up fixing my wideband, installing injectors, replacing the fuel pressure regulator and cleaning the throttle body. No spark plugs fitted. I'll do that tomorrow and flash in the tune for the injectors. I thought my wideband sensor was dead. Plugged in a new one and no luck. Turned out it was a bad crimp connector. Resoldered all the wiring and it is all good. Spare new sensor now I suppose. For what it is worth, AEM confirmed for me that the Bosch 17025 LSU 4.9 sensor and the AEM-branded LSU 4.9 sensor are samesies. Just buying the Bosch is about half the cost, so might help someone else sometime knowing that. I suspect it is the same for Innovate, etc too. Given my sensor has been driven around for a couple of weeks unheated, I suspect I'll need the new one sooner rather than later.

Was just in a meeting and checked the F1 app for live timing of FP2. Forgot I had live pit radio messages switched on...

That's good you aren't doubling up, but doesn't make it any cheaper!

I thought it worked like: Third party insurance - covers other people's property (eg you rear end a Merc) Comprehensive - third party, plus your property (the car you were driving when your rear ended a Merc) Compulsory third party (via rego) is for injuries (the Merc driver's whiplash or your head smacking the steering wheel) which is not covered by your private comprehensive. So CTP and private comprehensive and insuring different things? I might be wrong though.

$1150 in the ACT (including CTP) for a Falcon-sized car. Y'all don't know when ya got it good!

Read the address carefully...

Speaking of IT and emaily things, I just had to email the team that looks after Exchange within the Operations area of our IT provider. Their email address started operationsexchange@ Did lol

Haha this exactly. I'd wager I massive percentage of small business would be using Gmail but with their own domain name. As if Bob's Building is running his own email server.

Is that a Cavoodle? My folks have one and it was a total it until about 2 years old. But good news is it has calmed down a bit since.

I spoke to them when I first looked at getting the BA tuned but wrote them off on the first phone call. At that stage I just wanted a tune on stock injectors to suit my cat. They said I needed to buy 1000cc or it would blow. When I said I just want it tuned safe on factory injectors they said the car will make whatever it wants to make, then you chuck in injectors to suit. But that might have been sales pitch more than actual idiocy, so I can't really comment on how good they are when they actually sit down with the lappy and the dyno. Out of the places I've spoken to, Jake's Performance seemed sensible and knowledgeable. Quite a few people here recommend CMS as the nearest decent tuner! I've seen a couple of high boost low power grenades getting around Canberra.

1/4 NPT. Did it a while ago and used this one: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F301858483365 This assumes your gauge fitting is 1/8, like the oil pressure sender for my gauge was. I agree with some of the above though - a free mechanical gauge isn't great value if something fails and leaks in the cabin.

Haha I thought this, scrolled down and then saw you'd had the exact same reaction!

Arrived on Friday. So far, so good. Pretty easy to work with once you read the programming instructions. I ordered the MX version with Ford CAN option for some preloaded gauges. This includes trans temp and you just need to edit one parameter to change it to Celsius. There's not heaps of information out there about Ultragauge, but there is about Scangauge, including heaps of configurations for OBD parameters not included on the device by default. This is useful as the Ultragauge includes information for converting known Scangauge configurations to Ultragauge. I also found something to convert Torque to Scangauge, so with a double hop anything you can see in Torque is theoretically achievable without getting too sophisticated. I got trans gear sort of working in the driveway this morning, but for some reason will only show gears 1 to 4. Instructions have some debugging info which will be my next step. Learning more about hex and bytes than I intended but not too bad once you get into it. Also the standard OBD parameter for coolant temp fluctuates between -40 and the actual coolant temp on our cars. Scangauge have an alternative configuration to fix this on their website, but converting that to Ultragauge isn't working for me yet. If anyone else grabs these and wants to nick my settings, let me know. Once I sort them out a bit more I'll post them as there is almost nothing on the web that's directly usable.

Read it recently in a book "Case for Faith". But is a quote from mathematical physicist Robert Griffiths.

It is a common misconception that faith and science oppose each other - they are actually coming much closer together over time. In my view, God created the world and science tells us a lot about how it happened. Believing in an intelligent designer and believing in the big bang, for example, is not inconsistent. I read something recently that was funny - atheists are targeting the philosophy departments in universities when setting up debates about whether God exists. The physics departments are useless because over the course of their careers they keep becoming Christians.

Oh wow I can't unsee that...

@bloodycrashboy haha yeah I thought that after I posted - not a job for your pristine garage floor!

If you can change your oil it isn't a big leap to flushing a trans [emoji106]

Time for a ZF service?

Onto it!

This times a hundred!! Got a Breville jaffle maker at Christmas because I realised I'd been depriving the kids up until this point. Apple pie for days!

That's filling the top of my laundry cupboard at the moment too. Good stuff.
