Noooooo dont PM me... :( I get too many a day as it is!

Just post in the other thread about it next time (2-3 down from this one)

I'll ban each account as it comes through etc etc

Although - i think another Admin beat me to it this time, i cant see the account

Cheers!

yeah it's a bummer. but to give users some privacy even admins cannot access other users pm box or read or delete pms in there. so it's not easy to combat. common sense is the only weapon you have. so let's use that! if you get a pm from an 'administrator' that signed up 2 days ago, has no admin tag and sends you to a site that ends in .ru then I say think carefully before clicking. for those that don't know if you mouse over a link your browser will display the URL that you're going to in the bottom left corner of your browser window. so you can check without clicking it. :banana:

.ru link in pm titled Weekend

x2. I got that one too.

I was smart enough to notice the '0' post count, so just deleted it.

Its wierd, this is the only forum i have ever been on that suffers from this amount of spam!

Got a PM from Brickerza last night that was titled "Weekend".

Inside it suggests that I should click on a link with the words "Do it now!" which was underlined.

Of course I didn't do this...

This would have taken me to "http://iefa.ru/"

Do we need to ban this User?

Surely there should be a way to implement a general limit on the number of PMs forum users can send per day, especially those with 0 or very few posts.

I think 20 PMs/day would be more than enough for everyone but mods/admins.

I just got one too with the same link.  It's undoubtedly a malware site that will install some horrible rubbish on your computer by merely visiting it.  I didn't click it either.

      Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there.

      Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!

      Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)

      1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
