That is so so sad mate. I feel like paypalling you money or something!

What comes to mind:

When you say security carpark, you mean your apartment has swipecards or just keylocks?

Definitely would put lots of posters around your building to ask for any info anyone may have seen or heard. Wouldn't advertise what kind of cars they were, just that there was a break in. Find out if similar incidents have occured before in the building. With any luck someone might even call to boast. Obviously try and track down the guy who had his parked car smashed too and track down any leads there.

Also i know how you feel when you say you want to fix it all up again, but would you able to sleep properly always thinking that it might happen again? Unless you were ready for them next time.

security carpark is its only accesible by the people who live in the building...

Spoke to the guy that had his car smashed and that apparently is an unrelated incident and was just an accident.

Im seriously considering moving out now...

Both cars have been moved from my garage as I feel its no longer safe.

I didnt sleep all last night and I feel as long as I live here and my cars are parked in the garage I wont... :D

So depressing, never felt so shitty...

So you mean there's swipecards? So didn't the logging system provide any leads as to who accessed the gates late at night?

na not swipecards...

Its remote controlled, no way of knowing who accessed the main garage door...

Its the GTR that isnt insured, Ive only had it for 5 days... :D

ouch. you can get a cover note from insurance companies you know!

really feel for you, that sucks especially since you've done nothing to deserve it other than having a fine taste in cars. It sounds like whoever did it was malicious and hopefully has their next life as a tapeworm.

You must have bad crooks in guildford, when someone tried to steal my R31 the only thing they broke was the ignition barrel. No smashed windows, they even unscrewed the steering column surround rather than smashing it. Good thing there was an immobiliser tucked away, if they'd found the switch it would have been gone. Only had 3rd party property on it too, was not worth insuring comprehensively!

hey dan sorry to hear about what happened, i'll definately keep a look out for anyone selling your system by the sounds of it they would have done a rough job so theres probably some scratches on it wouldnt b too hard to identify it.

also i 2nd the join the bandwagon to bash these guys heads in!...

and just be happy you still have the cars..atleast you have somthing to still look at even if it depresses u, better than looking at an empty spot..

thats true, it could have been worse...

f**king c**ts dan, hope they burn, when i had my car stolen similar stuff happened to it, dash stabbed etc, i hope they find themselves under a state transit bus someday.

its a bad feeling hey...

better still under a train!

Mate,

Bring them at show and sine as they are, next weekend. We will all "chip" some in and get you fixed...I WOULD....

EUG.

A big thanks!!!

I would love to bring the cars down to the show n shine but unfortunetly Id have to be towing them down... :rolleyes:

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
