I think once I obtain a better car. I'm going to have a concealed weapon under my driver's seat.

Probably a good idea, this experience has been enough to make me put the line up on the market, im not going to have this happen to me again, plus I want a 4B!

nah dont run from them, straight punch in their face if they come to f**k around with you. i think they will walk away. i dont know if its illegal to put a baseball bat in the car but i have a large tyres spanner. i had an experience when i was at a traffic in northbridge some drunk lady sit on my bonnet. luckily was a lady if that was a male, i will feel sorry for him.

I'm either looking at an AE86 or a A31 Ceffy. Either way a military knife is going in a sheath under/next to the seat.

just keep in mind you get pulled over by the 5-0 and they go to search your car remember to say its there

*snip* i dont know if its illegal to put a baseball bat *snip*

you can be booked (and most likely will be if in an import it seems) for having a concealed weapon.

Always wondered the laws on carrying weapons. If you have to put it in the boot it pretty much defeats the purpose of having a concealed weapon in the first place. I would probably opt for pepperspraying the theif in the face and then "defending yourself" with a cricket bat you just happened to have on the back seat.

LOL at all the concealed weapon suggestions.

I had a BIG wrench in my car wedged by the drover's seat. It looked like another handbrake lol. I was never concerned about the cops..... "oops I forgot to take it out plus, it's a tool (you tool)". It had the parrot beak head so I could choose between blunt or piercing strike. Never needed to use it so I saw no need to peek it. Still prefer the unexpected punch in the mug and a bit of "Melbourne shuffle", if you know what I mean.

My suggestion, keep something like that in, make sure that it is innocent enough and hope you never need it and no one asks you anything.

thats a smart idea, my snap on ratchet might do the job, but leaving it in the car is another thing :/

    • Yea I could, but it is amusing how shit a stock seat and belt are
    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
