This morning @ 3.33am I interupted the theft of Chris' car. I suspect his alarm didn't go off because of a faulty battery which we will have investigated today (or perhaps they knew their way around that as well). In hindsight, I should have let them take the damn car and let the tracking device do its thing and catch them red handed. But at the time, all I thought about was scaring them off.

Chris' car is normally in the garage, the only reason it wasn't is because we're working on my race car in there atm :P

There were at least three of them, pulled hoods over their heads when they realised I was on to them. Very bold, getaway vehicle all ready to go. Smashed rear quarter and I don't know what else yet, but they had the car halfway down the road.

Off to buy some movement activated night cameras now :P

Salt made of lead more likely

I'm NOT a violent person, but if I ever caught a thief having a go at mine, I'm pretty sure I would end up in gaol for a longer time (for the assault) than what THEY would have for actually stealing the car.

Mark was coming up the rear and passed me before I got down the steps - they looked scrawny to me... not enough muscle to physically work for their assets, they'd rather take someone elses hard earnt possessions. :P

When Michele woke me at 3:30 this morning it didnt really sink in...but it has now!!!

I'm soooooooooo pissed off :P (sorry Shell if I cant say that!)...

lucky I took the window breakage option on my insurance - letting me replace one free of charge each year!!! - my insurance just paid for itself this year!!! (gotta be positive, gotta be positive!!)

Good to see the SAU community is alive and kicking....... :D

Shell, I wanted to say the C word, but I dont like that one - ask Michele !!! :)

The 34 is not meant to be able to be taken out of park until accessories are on - but obviously it can if you force it hard enough!!!

Yeah Titan - it does have the passenger release....

The battery issue on the alarm is all fixed now :wave:

and Shell, the steadeddie mobile lives another day!!! :laugh:

James - I dont think you'd appreciate a 3:30am call but thanks so much for the offer :blink:

I'll guarantee that James wouldn't care less about getting a call at 3:30am, especially if it were to help a friend in need with the bonus of catching a b@stard.

Thanks everyone and keep an eye out, they were pretty bold. Alarms are all set and ready to face another day, although I suspect the scariest part for the thieving, low life, scum bucket, cesspit dwelling b@stards was seeing Mark running down the steps in his undies hahahaha

onya for scareing the crap out of the 'scum'. it's all a big joke to car thieves; I went to court to see how the judicial system handled the shithead that stole my GTR [it has never been recovered]. he couldn't have cared less; paid no attention to the prosecutor, or the judge for that matter. this thief had stolen three cars within a week, it's what he does for a living!!. the cops told me he will be stealing cars the minute he gets out of 'clink'. what irritated me was that neither the judge nor the baliff steped in to control the thief and his girlfriend started calling out how much they loved each other during court proceedings. Ridicuclous!!!.

Oh that sucks ass :laugh:

I'm no lady. If someone touched my car... Actually when someone broke into my car outside of Russell last year I said the C word. Lots of times and that's without them actually damaging it. Pray for the soul of the person that ever damages it if I catch them!!

I just hate how people are so shit and have no respect for other people's property. There's so many reports of this type of thing happening in Canberra at the moment.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
