Posting on behalf of a mate of mine cause he doesnt have an SAU account.

Last night down south, Mate had the rims knocked off his S15 IN HIS DRIVEWAY. He heard the noise (of the people dropping the car on the ground) at 5AM and ran out, however they managed to get away with 3 of the wheels, there is however one wheel still on the car. The front bar is totalled, Sideskirts are totalled. Some of you may have seen this S15 out on cruises with me, Yellow coloured with Trial Style Kit and 19" 5 spoke mags.

Spotted a Blue VN Commodore leaving the scene with big chrome wheels and mirror styled tail lights, obviously were not happy to say the very least.

After a set of stocky rims that will suit an S15 Stud pattern 5x114.3 to get it in his shed tonight, at the moment the cars on the ground and were worried that they will come back for the last rim tonight.

So if anyone has a set of stocky's we could borrow to get his car to a safe spot to start fixing it up as it is quite damaged and also, so they dont come back for the stereo and everything else would be greatly appreciated

Gimme a buzz on 0400 267 299

Im in Rose Park and my mate is down south, so weve pretty much got adelaide covered.

Dude sorry to hear about the dramas, Maybe in a couple of weeks try and sell the last rim, and you never know some retard might come forward and buy the one wheel to match the 3 they either stole or bought, Just remember to ask questions like: What sorta car is it going on? Are you after this (1) wheel to have as a spare in the boot or what? Just stuff like that to get the feel of the person trying to buy!

Could be worth a shot, you never know.......

Good Luck!

i doubt they would have come back in the end anyway...

if they did theyd have to be pretty dumb, considering you and half your mates would be waiting in the bushes for em =P

good luck finding them although i dont think your gonna have much luck, get onto calias turbo or NS and have a look around, also try ebay and local pawn broker / wrecker.

Definitely lock nuts are easy as to remove..

All the more reason to buy an alarm with a knock sensor.

I've set mine fairly sensitive; a cat jumping on the car, a flick of the door handle or a light fist in to the window is enough to set it off.

Also lets me know with the number of disarm beeps what sensor has been triggered while I've been away.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
