Damn, I've only been back in Canberra a month and someone has already tried to break into my car.

was parked in the griffin centre carpark near the contruction site between 7.30-9pm. Came back to the car and notice the alarm has gone off. Did a quick inspection of the car as usual and noticed slight scratches at the passenger door frame and window. looks like they tried prying my window open in 3 different spots but they were doing it in the wrong place anyway. the alarm must of went off when they used too much force.

Is there any safe place to park in the city these days?

Not near a methadone clinic thats for certain.

I must be getting on, I just wanna kill all the little F@#$%R's..Odds on an addict!

Put a guillotine in Garema place and have weekend executions televised.

It will either pursuade the F@#$%R's to stop or we'll eventually run out of addicts.

Tollerance is not my strong suit!

That suck mate.

I had the same thing happen to me in the civic pool car park. Try to park as close as you can to a busy area with people always walking by.

I now try to park next to a pay parking ticket machine only because i know they are always people coming and going during the day.

At night it may be a bit of a hike but you could try parking in the convention centre car park. I think its got CCTV on the entry and exit so you may get them on camera.

If you dont have a screamer fitted inside your car i recomend getting one. The noise of these things is enough to make most people feel pretty crook and give them a decent headache.

It sucks to hear this has happend in civic again!!

Cheers

i'm lucky, i work at the construction site next to the griffin centre, and as such have a key to the site. i park inside the locked, barbed wire fence at night, so none of the little druggo's can get in :thumbsup:

Yep yep yep. I've previously busted a guy trying to break into my old falcon, needless to say - I didn't involve the police.

Having had my house and car broken into, I'd rather the car anyday. Your home is even MORE intrusive.

Its not fair when you work hard for something, and someone decides they deserve it more than you. :D

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
