Car impounded from parking spot in st Kilda. ran into the tow truck and politely asked if he could grab my wallet "you are not allowed to touch the vehicle".

*sigh*

$50 says they'll be a ticket inspector on the train who will still issue me a ticket.

i suggest we assemble a team. a team of the very best. then we can avoid all the cameras with our excellent driving skills, grab your car, and make our escape.

i suggest also that we find an abandoned warehouse to construct our test track, and use many different types of cars and drivers to ascertain the best combination.

let the heist begin.

Guy tried to tow the 33 once, 5 minutes before it became a clearway... Long story short he didn't have the balls to go through with it after I caught him. Don't think I have lost it that hard more than maybe 2 or 3 times in my life without actually getting in a fight.

Ended up with me repetedly demanding he hooks the car up and him refusing and apologising hahaha

Geez. thats harsh. I was very calm because I knew what kind of calibre people he would deal with. the yard had like 3 people complaining about abuse and "policies" and shit. I just wanted to save time and was in-out in a flash.

$345 for collecting car, Jonno reminded me about the parking fine on my windscreen :| another $141. Lesson learnt.

Was it a national tow truck? probably... nothing is too harsh for those scumbags.

the vultures sit there in clearways and hook cars up a few minutes before they are allowed to and drive off the absolute second the clock ticks over.

It's illegal but challenging it is not easy.

also, no way in hell anyone is taking my car while i'm standing there unless they are actual cops.

I am aware of their tricks so I NEVER park in clearways, and the one time I nearly had the car taken (mentioned earlier) I KNEW it was a clearway at 4:30, returned to my car at 4:25 and he was already on the ground trying to work out where to put the chain... hence my fury

I'd love to see them lay one hand on the car before that clock ticks over... Would be filming it and taking them to court after taking it to ACA and requesting others to come forward for a class action suit

But then the story would turn into Hoon driver assaults innocent tow truck driver.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
