Death would be deserved for these guys because they stole the car, and also drove the car in a manner that is lethal to everyone else.

My sister drives around that area every day. What if they killed her ? What if it was your mother ? or your whole family in the car on their way back from bowling and you witnessed the whole thing from behind them ?

Better they are gone now before they hurt others. Its better that way. I know there are many more then just those two guys.. but i guess that there are 2 less now.

wow, you guys are some pretty stone cold folk. they are dead, because they stole a car and you think it's funny? they were fking 18 and 20. talk about a life wasted. I mean sure, car theft sucks (and yes I have had one $35,000 car stolen from me before), but I certainly don't wish death on the theives because of it. I reckon all you guys would do well in certain states of america where the death penalty is still enforced, perhaps you could even lobby for it to be applied to car theft.

I feel very sorry for these blokes family's. sure, they did an awful stupid thing, but I personally don't believe they deserved to die for it.

I don't agree with the death penalty nor do I wish death upon anyone. Everyone's done something wrong/stupid in their life, but I don't think there is any excuse AT ALL for car thieves and the problem is not enough of them are caught so when something like this happens its probably a lot more glorified than it really should be.

I also feel sorry for the families, but I don't feel sorry for the people themselves. They broke the law purposely to benefit themselves at the expense of others. The truck driver now has to live with himself for the rest of his life, and again what they have done has effected someone else not just the original car owner. No one "deserves" to die on this planet, but people certainly push their boundaries thats for sure...

Sorry man but I really don't think anyone should feel sympathy for people who not only are breaking the law but willingly holding someone up at knife point to do it. I don't know about you guys but I wouldn't take having a knife held to me that easily and in some circumstances people don't get over that shit. That's not even mentioning the truck driver they may have scarred for life with their pathetic excuse for driving.

I doubt their families care that much if they have let their kids head down this stupid path of illegal activity in the first place.

I'll start caring about these people and their loved ones when they start caring about us and our loved ones by not doing things that potentially ruin people for life.

I never said anyone should feel sympathy for them. maybe a bit of empathy wouldn't hurt though. I said I feel sorry for their family. I also think it's ridiculous to wish someone dead becuse they stole a lump of metal.

so to any of you guys who say: "suck shit, glad you're dead". answer me this.

you have a nice skyline. you are a nice law abiding citizen. it's a quiet night. you really want to open it out. thinking that since there is no one around, why not. it's a 100 zone through some nice twisties and you are doing 120-130. not really excessive, but illegal none the less. little do you know around a corner is some coolant dropped by an overheating car. you loose control and cross into coming traffic. killing yourself and and father and his daughter in the other car.

did you deserve to die? I mean sure you made a poor choice (like these guys) and you broke the law (like these guys) but personally I would be sad if a friend of mine died in circumstances like that. I certainly wouldn't say "suck shit to him and his family, he deserved it he broke the law". I would also wager none of you would express these "they deserved to die" opinion in front of these kids mum or dad.

Sorry but thats a really lousy comparison..These guys robbed the guy at knifepoint for his car...Bit different than somebody just driving silly

+ 1...What if these morons robbed your wife or mother for her car...what if they even stabbed her for it ?...Make fertilizer out of them...feed those hungry bugs and earthworms

Sorry guys but I think Beer Baron has a point that these young thieves did not have to die even they stole the car.

However even I do hate the thieves with pasion but I do think that this is a tragedy and they would learn more sitting behind bars having to think about it for few years and just maybe learn that crime does not pay in the long run.

Also it doesn't sound good posting that they deserve to die even if you think that, just chill down my friends.

My 2 cents worth

Dave

So...we have two groups, one group that's disgusted at the fact that the other group has no sympathy and so hateful towards the thieves. But then why do we need to justify how we feel? I have no reason to justify the fact I hate these thieves and wish all the car thieves in the world dead and to die by horrible means of death......I just do....deal with it. You can be disgusted all you like, it's not going to change a damn thing. Sometimes people hate certain things without logic, just a reaction. I think a lot of people here are frustrated at thieves and the fact that these guys died in such circumstance makes us feel in some way that vengence is served.

to use your theory then, how about if it was your mum and sister in the car that the person 'just driving silly' ran into and killed? do they deserve to die then for it?

my point is lots of people make mistakes and errors of judgment. very few of them should have to pay with their lives for it. I hate thieves and have been the victim of theft myself. but again, I cannot believe you people honestly want people dead for stealing a car.

Beer Baron generally speaking a person stealing something at knife point isn't make a mistaking, they are the mistake.

I don't generally agree or disagree with the comment of they deserve to die but someone who thinks it's acceptable to ruin peoples lives by using a knife the way they did at that incident and I'll bet money that that wasn't the first time doesn't deserve anyones sympathy and evidently are making the arguement that they deserved to die so much stronger. In your life you have to take responsibility for your actions and this time they did.

Agreed. I'm surprised and a little sickened at some of the responses in this thread.

Lingering Soul I understand what you are saying and you are correct that people have differing natural reactions to things but to wish death upon anyone is just not right. And you should definitely feel some compassion towards the familys of those who've died.

Have you actually known people who were slightly messed up and died as a consequence? I have and let me tell you, even though what they were doing was wrong, I still wish they hadn't died. I have also known people who were very messed up and 5 years later have turned everything around, these kids will never get that chance to make something more of their lives and that is a terrible waste and a shame.

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
