I have 3 baby magpies that love to fly between a window of a shop and the drivers window of my car. When its wet i end up with 5000x footprints all over the roof and down my back window.

I got the local cop station to take some samples of the foot prints but they are yet to get back to me on which magpie it is. :bahaha:

dont get a car cover. i had one and it didnt stop the cats. all it did was make them slip all over ther place when they jumped off and scratched the car 10 times worse. I like your idea Turbo Tits, dog on bonnet, or I have a semi-automatic 12gauge shot gun you can borrow. :)

Pepper works a treat (the really powdery sort) but leaves dust on your car.

Don't put anything slippery on there... a friend of mine has a Boxster S and saw a cat sitting on his bonnet, yelled at it and it freaked, jumped up to ran away and slipped all over the place while it was trying to run away and scratched the shit out of his bonnet.

I have had this problem myself, several things you can do.

If its only one cat, get rid of it..........................

If you are a cat lover, do not read my previous sentence. Get a cat of your own. A big mean nasty tom cat. It will be boss cat, and keep other cats away. Give your cat a nice warm place to sleep, and it will not show any interest in your car at all.

A really bright light shining down on your car will discourage cats from sleeping there. It shines in their eyes, and they cannot lay on your nice warm bonnet and look around.

p.s Looks like the cats have been getting a little kinky on your bonnet rrroooowwwwr purrr purrr

if i saw a gang of cats having orgies on my bonnet id run for the hose. maybe wait in the bushes and when the time is right give them a good squirting with the hose, a couple goes of this should work nicely. They will associate them jumping on your car with being squirted and hopefully wont do it anymore. :D

just get a car cover...once some cat or some shit got on my bonnet might of jumped off a tree and set off the alarm...i ran outside ready to pound someone...looked around the car nothin weird then i checked the bonnect 3 10cm lines in differerent areas on the bonnet.. Oh well...now i park it only in the garage.

Just buy a dog... Few years ago, when I don't have dog, always have some cats go in my garden, even go into my house when I open the door. Since I have dog, no cat at all.... :)

Isnt a dog on your car worse than a cat on your car?

We had a cat problem on our cars a couple of years ago, and they crapped in the garden aswell. I don't agree with the way my dad did it but it was affective, we never had the problem again. (have dog, but it is chained up at nights so it doesn't run away)

Take 1 Bowl & fill with fresh milk.

Take 6 Panadol and crush into a fine powder.

Combine the powder with the milk and stir.

leave in desired location and wash bol clean in morning.

Never saw the cat(s) again....

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
