did you have an alarm?

wow i'm sorry but this has got to be the single most stupid reply ever

can folks stop asking if a car has an alarm or not?

in this instance, 'on the way' to springbrook is mountain bushland and no houses for about 20 (40?) kms or more

in any other instance, alarms are JUST AS POINTLESS and likely to annoy your dyno guy as he tries to move your car :happy:

original poster: wow duder thats pretty harsh =(

yeah i dont know where the f**k he gets off asking questions like that. you're such a bastard phatboi

didn't einsteins car get broken into on the street right outside his house?

an alarm would have made that a lot harder for the thieves in that case

no, wouldn't have done shit

would someone have come to stop them? would they have run away? would anyone care?

i have better deterrant devices avaliable to me now =)

Mel an Alarm does deter a thief, with the new alarms they have pagers and also GSM cards to call you if your car gets broken into...

Why is it point less? People do stop and have a look when an alarm goes off just cos you don’t have the decency to stop and look doesn't mean some one else wont.....

it is a valid question cos if you don’t have an alarm the is insurance approved they don’t have to cover you for this, even if you pay for fire and theft cover. if you don’t believe me go check out your policy again..

it is a valid Question and a solid investment so shut ya hole..

i doubt anyone on this forum would look to see what car has its alarm going off

it's such a common occurence due to fault, vibration, or stupid owners these days that it's like the boy crying wolf

theres one here....so long as i dont have to go a massive amount out of my way, i'll always look. Gives me some hope for good karma that my car will get checked on if it's in trouble.

this is not about the effectiveness of an alarm. the poor guy got his pride n joy f**ked over. concentrate on the topic please

Well if the -poor guy would give details of what they took we may at least be able to keep an eye out for cheap said items.

thank you for your cooperation

Not sure what you are inferring by that Dan. My intentions were honourable. The only way anything will come of this is if the perpetrators are caught selling the stolen parts.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
