My thoughts are with you Mikey... hope you get better real soon; from personal experience you'll find it pretty hard to be as "carefree" as before - you'll always think that someone is out to get you / your car.

What both Duncan and Pete have said is true... if they want your car and will obviously stop at no lengths to get it, then GIVE IT to them. I don't know about you lot but I value my life more than I value my car.

Suggestions of keeping weapons etc on you is stupid... it promotes violence and will probably get you in trouble even if it was "self defence". Correct me if I'm wrong but if you had the weapon in your car expecting trouble, it's not really self defence is it, especially if you club the guy to near death proportions.

can't go to cops as i threw first punch, i wanted try and phsyc them out by taking them on instead of running,

Go to the cops buddy, you got nothing to worry about. It was very clearly self defense. It is your legal right to defend your self, your property or a third party, if you/it/they are under imamate or immediate attack, with equal or lesser force. Since there was two or them and one of you that is lesser force. And by them sayin "give me your keys" makes it very clear of their intentions. Go to the cops, I know that the VIC pol that I have dealt with in similar situations take it very seriously. Well, I wish you all the best with your recovery, and I sincerely hope that these guys get ass raped by someone.

Cheers

Helio

so have you gone to the cops yet Mikey?

Joe - I heard a similar story - a mate went to that same party and said someone got hit - also about money..

A club lock or maglite is as good a weapon as any. Carry one of them with you at all times. Even a skateboard is a good weapon. Pricks! Hope you get better soon champ!

Hope you get well soon Mikey :D

i was once a northern beach person living at allambie heights but move from there years ago.

anyways regarding weapons around 4-5 years ago i tested drive with my mate a JDM spec 1997 dc2r integra type-r and he was viet when we jumped in the back seats there was this next and shiney watermelon knife(i can't spell the name of this). Hahah we didn't end up buying the car but we had 3 guys so it was cool.

bad luck mate

not goods man

hope u feel better.

i doubt the cops would do much anyways

they will most likely say, nah we couldnt find em after 3 months....

grab the tyre iron and leave it beside the drivers door, on the carpet next to the petrol and boot button.

so if someone comes near ya, smack smack hehehehe

y can't people just leave us alone with our lines :spank::ninja: :ninja:

thats the new hiding place for it lol.

chubbs- a police report has been made including names, so now ive been told to wait until they go and speak with these people, they said that even though i threw the first, the severity of my injuries is enough to warrant self defence.

they said that once they have spoken to the people and if i wanmt to proceed then i was told i have more than enouigh evidence to press agrevated assaul = 1-5yrs max jail

Hey Mikey,

Hope all goes well with your surgery tomoz, don't know if we'll be able to get down to see you but wanted you to know we'll be thinking of you sweet pea... get better soon...

xoxoxoxoxox

yeah you know what? a mate of mine told me someone got bashed up near that way on the same night near a party.

something about owing someone some money he didnt come good on.

Joe - wonder if we have the same mate!

I was told same thing!

Mikey.....!!! Glad I came online..... Hope ur ok mate, it will explain why u won't be out cruising this week.... :wave:

Please get well soon.... I think most of us would try to save our rides as much as we can.... I say just break ur key and say, "fine.... take it....!!" :wave: Mite piss em off, but ur car's not going anywhere....

Get well mate....

hey dude, sorry to hear!!! if only we lived in a world where people respected other peoples property, oh well gives you sum1 to bash, f*king car thiefs. the lowest of the low!!!!!!

haha if i actually knew you i would have visited ya cuz i work in ........

Edited by esky_mad

f**k that's hectic. Killara too.

Tell ya what man maybe they been waitin for ya or something? Do you have any more background about it? If you know their names you know them from somewhere right?

I used to live in St Ives before I moved outta my folks place - Killara/Lindfield/St Ives/Turramurra are good whitey/Jewish neighbourhoods. I wouldn't expect this sorta stuff happening just like that.

Hope you get better soon.

nah i dont park there very often at all, it was about 11pm so i dont think there was. i even drove myself to the hospital with blood dripping everywhere, so stoked it didnt get on my seat hahaha

Sick. haha that's cool.

Remember everyone- carrying a weapon with intent to use it in self defence or not isn't a good thing if it comes to court. It's different than if there is something in your car you use for something else legitimately that just happens to be used reasonably to defend yourself.

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
