I remember something similiar happening to a guy. He got one of those "You may have won $100,000" letters, and it was made to look like a cheque. He deposited it at the ATM as a joke, and they credited the account. He withdrew it and put it in a safety deposit box or something like that. They got really into him, lots of charges were mentioned and stuff.

If it was a million, I think the bank would send some major law enforcement after you.

Still, if it were me, I´d have trouble deciding. Probably draw the $, buy a house and then make up some shit about how you thought it was money from a home loan that you applied for via the internet or something.

That way they would try to take it off you, but the process could take time, as you are now living there, and the residential tenency laws and various other legal loopholes would be in your favour.

At the end of a year or two, when you MUST move, you could sell it for a profit, pay them back and it´s all sweet, provided that you go through a credit checking agency to make sure they have not blacklisted you due to their mistake.

This took me about 30 seconds to think of, so I´m sure there are loopholes. If anyone tries this, please let me know how you go. And give me royalties. Please.

i doubt it would be as easy as youve just made it. how could u not know if $1million was just accidently put into your account, and if they proved u guilty in a court, youd be gone for a long time.

and even if you bought a house with it the bank would defiently check records of where that money came from. i had 450,000 deposited into my account for personal reasons and it took the bank a whole week to get that money transferred due to "security reasons"

lol get the money, apply for bankruptcy so you wont have to give money backs ^^, then wait for 2 to 3 years trying to keep ur money hidden and then buy a new house and invest and ur set for life :(

To be honest 1mil would not be enough for me to leave the country and never return. If it was 11mil then hell yes! But in the grand scheme of things 1mil is not a huge amount of of money.

Would have been sweet to get some ATM reciepts though!!! Perfect thing to write your number on!

    • 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.
