I had 2 of my wheels stolen from my old car parking it outside of my house. The alarm went off in the middle of the night, and I didn't took much notice of it. Woke up in the morning and found my car on bricks and 3 wheels were gone. They almost got all 4, but I think the car fell a little bit when they tries to get the last wheel off, and that must've triggered the alarm that probably scared the thieves away. The police found a wheel down the road in someone's front yard, so luckily I only had to replace 2 wheels instead of 3.

Don't get any of those generic lock nuts as they are very easy to get off, since the thieves will probabaly have the same key.

I recommend McGard lock nuts, since each master lock nut is computer generated and need a unique key to match the pattern, while the rest of the nut needs a special key to open as well.

think about it... if you can go to a tyre shop and get them to remove them cause you lost the socket, then its obviously not that hard to get the tools.

theyre only good for the everyday cockstab whos bored and in need of some quick cash for crack... other then that... might as well just stick a note on them asking them to leave them the f*k alone or their penis or vagina will fall off cause you sprayed the wheels with TB, Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Trichomonas, Human papillomavirus, Genital herpes and Hepatitis B

its got no spoiler right?

dumped on black rims

if so, i know his brother.. goes to school with me

Can't remember the wheel colour, or about the spoiler. I remember it had orange personal plates but i can't remember what it said. If I had to guess it'd probably say 'TOSS' :O

Cheers, dont know of the xr6, sorry mate

Which ground was it? I live in that area and will keep an eye out.

It was a thomo east ground on leslie street, 2 mins away from Dalton rd. I also found out some more info last night that another car pulled up beside the s15 and were chatting away laughing all near my car, i bloody wish i had kept a look out for my car whilst there, i do every other bloody time. It was a car full of 'lebo's' was all i got told (2nd hand info). Doesnt give me much tho. Dont know what car they rolled up in either.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
