Dr Victor Chang's car was deliberately bumped from the rear, and after turning into a side street. he was accosted and killed.

So whilst I'm calm and rational right this minute, my training procedure is...

i) Make sure that my Agreed Value Insurance is up-to-date and gives me adequate cover

ii) Calmly activate my PANIC BUTTON in my car which does strange but silent/covert things (no not Quiktrak gone bust)

iii) Hand over the keys to the Carjackers

iv) Go to the other side of the street and start taking pics (even pretend pics) so they'll go away (with or without the car).

There is a legal pepper spray called MUZZLE which is meant for Veterinary use only. Not sure yet whether this would be step v)!

Tez

Yeh I've been held up before with a 'blood-filled' syringe wielding jerk just out of the clink - and now he's back in.

Held me up after my last patient. Bit more vigilant now.

Never really thought about this ...

Guess my first reaction would be to put my foot down and go for it.

But if i was blocked in?

I wouldnt take out a knife and start waving it around, as that could get u in a shit load more trouble then getting ur car stolen.... Thats unless they had knife first, then it would be counted as resonable course of action.

But i guess, the best thing would to pass them the keys... and let them take it. Better then losing your life

Or if u want to be really cheeky, i would turn off the car, pass them the key and run off... not telling them the pin number to start the car again.

HAHA...

ahh.. touch wood.. i hope this doesnt happen to me..

I would say, sit in ur seat rock back and forwards hitting ur head on the steering wheel somewhat hard, loudly muttering "Stop it Mummy, im good boy now,"

Now if that dream scream psycho then nothing will LOL

I would not attempt to approach anyone, for any reason if they were doing this :)

Very nice non violent attempt to avoid any confrontation.

At night i always lock the doors when driving. At least if someone does try and open the door, i have a few seconds of advantage to do something....hopefully it would be to drive off with no further issue. However, if they did get in id surrender the car. Its "just a car" and is insured and can be replaced. I dont think any car is worth your life/health to try and protect.

If I was outnumbered and they had AK-47s ok they can have my pride and joy. Otherwise unable to outrun them or cornered at the lights I'll introduce them to my stainless steel Prolock which is nicely legal to have sitting on your passenger seat.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
