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!

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

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:

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!!!!!!

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.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
