Well that was a great night. Was watching a movie at a mates place in Tea Tree Gully only to hear a car siren go off. At first I thought nothing of it and then I thought, hey, that sounds like my car. I rushed out to the front of their house and sure enough it was my car, both door locks busted and wide open! Assholes! Nothing stolen thankfully, they went through all my stuff and even left my sunglasses and head unit. Looks like they were after the car but the alarm went off just in time. At this time of night all I can see damage wise is the door locks busted and door panels a bit scratched up from it all so at the very least I'm looking at a respray on both doors + new locks. Also for some reason the horn wont turn off so I had to disconnect it, I think they may have caused a bit of damage to it trying to get rid of the steering lock.

So please oh please people, lock up and keep your rides safe. Mine was only there for a half an hour in a back street in suburbia but it seems it's enough for these assholes to find and target!

haha my bro sent me this thing from the states...

it says that one of his mates got a blowtorch wired into his security system. so instead of the alarm going off, the blowtorch would just shoots out fire at the person sitting at the steering wheel...

how awesome would that be!!!

that ought to teach them about touching another person's ride!!!

Assholes!!!

damn, sorry to hear of your misfortunes luke.

Hopefully it doesnt cost too much to fix.

its crazy how even after the alarm goes off they still have the nerve to attempt to take the steering lock off. i thought a flashing led was enough to scare any opportunist thief away, i guess i was wrong...they still tried.

Keep them locked up boys & girls

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
