If they can have unmarked police cars in our community trying to provoke and catch street racers, why can't they set up stings on parked Skylines (well there are other cars they could use, but not nearly as desirable IMHO :P ). Have them fully monitored, speed limited (<10kmh) and immobilise them as soon as they take off – oh and don’t forget having it all on film :P

They can't say it’s because of the risk to life... most of these kids are too young to have a licence and are life threatening the second they get away with these cars (Google died stolen car and see how common it is).

Is anyone aware of any schemes currently in place to reduce auto theft in ACT?

Yeah here's a scheme that's just been announced in the last few days.....AFP will no longer chase cars suspected of being stolen.

hmm okay... I think I have it worked out... we can't speed in our own cars

What we need to do is steal each others cars and we can speed all night and they won't chase us :P

They do this in America seen it on them police video shows

If u have a car stolen u will see how piss poor the cops are , NSW cops this is i have not dealt with the AFP.

First time i had to ring the cops and ask them to charge the person they found driving my car , for insurance , u think i asked them to break the law or something

Second time the cops accused me of doing it , threatened to arrest me , than asked for me not to report my car stolen as it makes their reporting better the fewer stolen cars each year

There should also be a rego check system in place at fuel stations (no fuel means no drive). I work at one and asked my Area manager about it and he said they tried and there was complications. As far as I'm conserned 'complications' indicate it will cost them too much. Just letting everyone know, fuel stations can write off drive-offs under insurance and tax, so they dont actually lose money so its cheaper for them not to care. But bringing to the point, the kids who do steal them who are too young to even have a licence probably dont even have a cent on them, so the police wont bother with it as there is no money to be made, and they just release them so they can do it again. I'll keep an eye out for it. If only we could get blowfish poision for our steering wheels...

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
