Whoever is sending these Virul PM's to email adresses Get A Life. :thumbsup:

I got a suspect PM from a user called "brickerza" the other week. was clearly a dodgy automated msg with a link that i never followed (but was hosted in russia......)

I'd be thinking someone has found a hole in this version of IP.Board...

I got that too, it was a virus but I got rid of it, I got another one thismorning from a random user. I have thousands of hours of work I cant lose on my computer. How can we find out who is sending them?

If you dont know the user and it asks you to click on a link, delete it immediately

An update has been done to try and stop this. Basically:

- If you're just a regular member then you can only send one PM every 5 mins.

- SAU VIC, WA, QLD and NSW club members, mods, admins, traders and contributors can send unlimited PM's

- if your postcount is below 10, then you can no longer PM.

Its a good start! Well done Admin/Mods

The PM was from someone you have never spoken to before.

The PM contained nothing but a link.

A link to a RUSSIAN site.

............ YOU CLICKED THAT LINK?!?! :thumbsup::)

In any case, as PurpleR32 said, we have taken measures to reduce such cases of spam and virulent link prorogation. Unfortunately common sense is something we can't help with :)

Locking this up - refer to the feedback section.

But honestly - if you get a PM from someone

- You dont know

- With no posts

- Signed up in the last day or so

- Sends you some rubbish words and a link...

Use ya brain and dont click on.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
