Extra vigilance on your rides O'night

Police will be crawling over Southside at night.

Todays Canberra Times

ACT Police have warned Tuggeranong residents to secure their cars after dark following a spate of arson attacks in the suburbs of Bonython and Chisholm on Thursday night destroyed three cars and damaged a playground.

Richardson resident Kelly Wards, whose father's car was torched in her front garden, said her brother was woken by a loud noise about 1am and saw the car on fire. The fire brigade arrived within minutes.

Ms Wards, who had extended family visiting and several cars parked outside her house, said a neighbour's car was also stolen and set on fire in a nearby street.

Although the children found the night exciting, Ms Wards said the adults in the house were quite worried.

''We are all on edge ... I am nervous [and] wound up, scared they will come back, that something else is going to happen,'' she said. Another resident said,''I heard the loud bang, my husband went outside and saw the flames [and] he saw three teenagers running away.''

wow....I'm tempted to start going back to the old way I'd spend my weekend evenings - walking around for the hell of walking around - only this time with an objective to f**king hurt some little rats.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
