benny_blanco, doesn't hurt but what a pain in the arse, remove fuelpump fuse, cas plug or whatever and that's just as good. unless you want to pull kickpanel on and off and undo a 10mmbolt holding the loom in the computer and risk damaging the loom rippin it in and out..hehe...

if your car is near where u sleep at night have and alarm that makes a sound when u open the locks of the car and dont worry if your asleep your body will hear that and dont worry you WILL wake up, its a subconcious thing happens many times when my dad needs to move it while im sleeping i always wake up for a sec when i hear the sound

Don't do what Donny don't does.

hey what did donny do?

btw, add a couple more things to add to that list...

1, investigate microdotting parts off your car (you can now apply the stuff yourself and register your details online)

2, security etching on your windows (last time i remembered it was around $50 from raa)

They won't prevent your car being nicked, but a professional thief might move onto the next car if he sees your car is etched.

Another option.. DIY Ghetto Style GPS tracking.

If you've got a GPS enabled phone already which you don't mind stashing in your car.. then just go directly to the site http://www.mologogo.com/ - time for me to go hunting on ebay for a el cheapo phone.

If someones in my house to steal my ride they wont be leaving it either.. maybe in a body bag.. I dont care wat anyone says.. Breakin into someones house in the night while they are in the house is asking for confrontation.

Another ridiculously inexpensive tracking system.. using an old phone as a cellular tracking device.

Now this is a fkn great idea, SOOOO easy too. I'm gonna hit the local jaycar and get a box to mount it in so it looks like another computer in the car... could mount it anywhere :rofl:

It's pretty clever hey.. does anyone know where we can get non-expiring pre-paid sim cards?? you know the ones where call credits don't run out and your card doesn't get disconnected after period of non-use.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
