Everyone take note and be carefull

Last wednesday night I was driving home from the shops at about 6:45 pm, when I noticed a dark navy ford xR8 following me very close... Then then came within inches of my car and then flashed their high beems... I slowed down, thinking I was being pulled over by the cops...

As I slowed I realised they had no lights, not anything to show me it was a police car, so i sped back up to just over the limit, this time they sped up behind me, high beeming me and tried to get up beside my car... they strated to move to the left while on my rear quater in an attempt to move me off the road. I heard a light bang as they touched just beside my right rear rim, I have a crack in my rear bar and some scuffing... This happened 2 more times and it was obvious they were trying to push me off the road or stop me...

I put my foot down enough to keep in front and keep them from touching my car for the next 800 metres, not slowing much for round-abouts... I came to the round-about that I would normally turn left to go home on, and went right as I did not want them to follow me all the way home...

As i was turning right and heading into another road, they went THE WRONG WAY around the round about and tried to block me in... At this point it became very scarey! I proceeded to lap the round about and head towards my house at high speed to loose them as they turned around...

Luckily I was able to evade them and come out safely... The car was full with at least 4 male passengers from what I could see... Police are going to patrol the road looking for similar vehicles and any suspicious behaviour.

:P

guess you didn't get their number plate either.. might have been difficult though - hard to think clearly in those situations.

i had the same over the weekend actually, but he was like 70 so i don't think that really counts as a carjacking :P he was juzt stoopid trying to merge into me even while i was looking right at him!

If I was in that situation, I would drive to the nearest police station, pull in and start to walk inside. They could do what ever they like to my car while I run inside to get the cops. I would actually probably ring 3364 6464 first to warn them that I was heading to that police station and to have someone out the front.

well i know that area pretty dam well.

their the best roundabout hey smoothline. hehe.

thats not good. thats why you must carry wepons in your car.

i live at monterey keys. some dodgy ppl come past slow right down and look into my garage. i jump out and write down their regos, got a peice of paper with 6 number plates on it. but i think most of them are house shopping.

its bad when you own such a nice car and either somthign happends to it or someone else wants it.

mmm guess i better upgrade to something a little more beefy than the flexible intercooler clamp screwdriver

i had a run in with some foreigners on those rented scooters.. i was in the passenger seat of a car and they were riding in the lane next to us swerving at us and each other

long story, but i dont any thing apart from a huge knife, 14" blade, but its hard cause by the time you stop it still takes a good 10secconds to rip out. i say jsut go nuts at em.

i had another wepon but my bro got it confiscated, and the cop kept it for his own use. long story.

but i pitty anyone that tries to mess with any of my mates.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
