Just Something Funny.

yes some of us have work but yea i let it idle for roughly 20-30seconds in the morning just to get the oil pres down a little b4 i drive ( thats what i have been adv from my mech and dad. i will have a chat with the lady tonight when i get home and see if i can talk some sense into her if not i guess i will have to stick it out untill she gets over it.

[BaysideBlue]

nothing wrong with that goes to show how much anything skyline means to our lives.

this is the best advice so far

Maybe try and have a civil chat to her and explain that your car is legal, and if she keeps calling the cops than they will eventually learn to ignore calls from ur address and then when she needs them to help her she will be in the poo.

Play on her old lady insecurities - she is bound to see sense even if she won't admit it to you.

Does she own a car? If so, while shes sleeping cut her catalytic convertor out and report her a few days later for running no cat...........

What you do is 'fight fire with fire'.

Go to Social Security and tell them that she has a live in boy friend, works occassionally at the corner store for cash in the hand, and doesn't declare any of this on her pension.

And yes, this a humorous reply.

[VB-]

might borrow a mates rotar and see how she likes that start up hahaha

i lol'd

do it, but dont just start it up, drop a patch boucin off the limiter :laughing-smiley-014: i was in the back of a mates car when one did right beside me, window down, and about 1 metre from the exhaust tip ....oh and youtube it if/when you do

semi-humerous reply

[Yme33]

I know how it feels and I bet everyone does or has at some time.

My current neighbour which I got along with alright is now the neighbour from hell, I play an electric guitar with an 15 watt amp and he went and whinged about me making too much noise only half volume, I've now sold some of my gear as dont play much now, geuss I should of bought that Marshall and gave him an blastin.

[Mid_Nite_R33]

Got a similar issue right now and its driving me nuts !!!

Got a neighbour at my flats that is mentally sick, whenever I start my car up thats parked on the main road where her window is she comes out screaming or banging her windows and yelling! Once she ran out and actually hit my car twice just as i was taking off.

I had a "civil" talk to her and she applogised etc but she is mental and she is still behaving the same... I know my car is around 100DB which is at like 5000rpm when they test it, its not loud on idle, although on cold start revs sit around 2000rpm and its a little loud for a few seconds

I have no idea what to do and im scared that one day she'll actually damage the car...

I dont even think insurance covers vandalisim if she ever does anything...

Any advice guys??

[Brocaine]

I used to have a neighbour that would come outside her house with a video camera whenever I started my car. I think she was losing her marbles. I'd be standing in my driveway having a smoke and letting my car warm up, and if I looked across the road, there she was, rummaging around in her hedge/fence trying not to be seen.

Mid Nite R33, Why don't you warm the car up somewhere else? If you drive it slowly with no load on it, you're hardly going to damage anything, and you can probably find somewhere to let the car warm up properly. Failing that, just drive nice and easy for the first 10 minutes of driving.

MRDeanos, it's all part of the fun of living on the North Shore mate

[Mid_Nite_R33]

Anabolic,

yea thats what I have been doing, starting it driving around the corner and waiting for a minute or two and then taking its easy till its fully warm, but to be honest i shoudnt have to do that, i feel terrorised and whenever i get into my car i have to look behind my shoulder kinda thing, its ridiculous! I've been thinking of going to the cops but somehow I feel that all thats gonna give me is a defect or EPA notice because its easier to queston my cars noise compared to dealing with a mental person.

Yea when i pull in im idling and turn it straight off

she really has no argument, her windows are on the main road which is never quiet.

[Brocaine]

Yeah, I'd be leaving the cops alone about it. If she's having some kind of personal issues, then probably best to just make the compromise. I had my neighbour report me to the EPA twice.

Now I switch my car off at the top of my street and roll to a stop

[ossie_21]

^ I wouldn't do that under any circumstances, he must really have issues if it made you start that. Midnite33, as said just try talking it over with her, but otherwise call the cops & ask for advice of what to do. Explain the car situation to them & instead of being arseholes & making you get tested they should do their job & tell you what you're rights are.

I won't have any problems ever with my car, the exhaust is super freaky why-the-hell-is-it-like-that quiet. Sometimes you can barely hear it idling, and if there is another car next to it you can't hear it. Makes my life better because it gets no attention at all really, I get passed by civics/lancers/mirages etc, and they probably have a louder exhaust then me. Also lets other people think I've got nothing because it doesn't sound loud, but they don't see the possibilty of built engine, gt30 & external gate :thumbsup:

But if nothing else works.....

Start stealing her mail, follow her around a bit to get her routine, see where she shops etc, then one day break into her unit & steal her spare key. Then every 3rd day or so when she's out go into her unit, move a couple of things around her room & leave the door slightly open when you leave. Occasionally if you hear her in the shower just scratch & tap the window a little bit. Breathe heavily if the window is open a little bit for added effect. She will be so shit scared she's being stalked you won't hear anything from her again, probably because she's moved hundred's of k's away from you.

[DECIM8]

screw her... warm it up go for a rip[ around the block and rev its guts out outside her place.. i hate people like thaT

[lingeringsoul]

Go talk to her...............and give her a BIG HUG!!! she'll like that.............everyone likes a nice hug. Then you'll be known as the "nice bloke" from across the street.

[BAMR33]

I'm actually in the same situation as the crazy old lady at the moment. I live in a fairly quiet street and my car is also fairly quiet. But a couple doors up there's two shitty pox boxes that seem to have no exhaust at all, one is a dirty pulsar and the other is tx3 turbo that has worst sounding loudest BOV I have ever heard.

These two wankers like to keep revs above 4k when decelerating and accelerating and you can hear the screech of tyres and backfiring every time they come around the corner.

So I kind of understand where the old lady's are coming from, but if you exhaust is legal and you don't rev the guts out of it I don't know how she could have a problem.

[dnbutts]

i think your being very unreasonable when your parking in your own property. think of others please.

PS... Screw her.

[Mid_Nite_R33]

Woud love to do that plus burn some rubber in the driverway right next to her balcony on the ground floor, however I wouldnt want my car damaged, I've put too much effort into it..

When i say shes mentally sick, im not exaggerating...
