My break in....

Well some may or may not know i have a 79 rolla as a daily beast. I was stolen twice before i bought it so it can be opened with near on anything thats hard lol.

Last night someone broke into it, i noticed when i hopped in it for work today and the mirror had been moved, the ash tray was open, things like a rug had been moved in the back. There is even a crappy cd head unit sitting in the back, even that had been moved. But funnily enough nothing was taken (not thats theres much to take).

But...the funniest part of all is that the person/s that broke into it locked it up when they were done.

I wasnt really suprised that it had been broken into, or hadnt been broken into earlier. I actually had a great laugh about. Just thought i would share my little experience with you.

I can beat that

I discovered at 5:30am one morning that someone had stolen the steering wheel off my standard R31 GXE (wtfbbq!?!?). I had to catch the bus to work :blink:

Found out about a week later that the theives had used it to steal a hella modified R31 that lived up the street, that had a steering lock on the wheel that they couldn't get off.

next time you go to the pub and pick up some fat chick because you couldn't see with your beer goggles... don't make out with her in your car, take her inside your house. And don't drive home under the influence.

this morning about 330am i got woken up by the alarm going off!!! half asleep i woke kye up pushing him outta bed he thought i meant his alarm clock haha but no it was his pager beeping and buzzing and you could hear the alarm like it was next to my head so loud.

walked out side in my pjamas and kye in his boxers hoping to bust them in the act but no-one was there.

This morning i got a phone call to tell me the paper delivery guy is sorry if he woke any one up when he hit kyes car with the paper grrrrr.....

at least it wasnt some little punks i dont think kye could have controlled himself if he caught them breaking in to either car.

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

      @silviaz  Maybe have a play with dry guide coat and using the compressor liberally and report back if its working better for you.

      It's just that it looks like it's all gone dry, but when you wet it the different materials darken differently and you can see the traces of the remaining guide coat, which are otherwise too thin to see when dry.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Experience has shown that trying to get the simple boost controllers (I have a Profec) set up on the dyno leads to needing to do it all on the road again afterwards. The dyno load is sufficiently different that the gain always ends up wrong and the start boost is wrong, and it ends up surging. Not compressor surge - just overboosting and carrying on. People are probably somewhat acustomed to the modern reality of Haltechs, et al, controlling to a closed loop target.** It's no skin off my nose. The dyno is easily accessible for the little extra tuning that will be required afterwards. And as you say - I stand to gain some useful info. ** On that subject, the idea of torque modelling/targetting is apparently a big OEM thing now. Look at Jason's Engineering Explained YT video on the new Corvette's turbo control system. This sort of thing would appear to be quite achievable in modern aftermarket ECUs, I should think. Is this what people are already doing to avoid the "boost target is 20 psi and I'm going to get there even though the throttle is only 50% open!!!" that I imagine simpler closed loop control would yield?

      I'm confused, so your saying after blowing the area off, the guide coat is gone. But then when you wipe it down, the guide coat residue becomes visible again? This isn't a trick question like there is guide coat residue on the rag that your wiping the area down with?  I cant see how once something is removed, it comes back when cleaning with wax and grease removed?
