driving home about 1:20am.. going through dandenong at the time, passed a white VR/VS commondore with 4 young guys in it... went around the corner, train lights were on, stopped, saw them coming behind me, passenger rear door opening, guy gets out about 20-22yo, white, no shirt, with a crowbar of some description starts waking towards my car... without even thinking , slammed it in reverse and gave it some gas (luckly no cars behind me), drove back about 10meters, he got back in the car, i sat there about 10meters behind waiting for them to go after the train was gone.... that was my scare for the night..

i didn't do anything to agrevate it... i overtook them (dual lane road) not being a smart ass or anything, didn't look or anything etc...

got his rego

will the cops do anything if i tell them about this - being threatened etc?

the more i think about it the more i wish i just got out of my car with my clublock and just tell him if he's going to touch me or my car he must be as dumb as he looks since i have his rego and his description...

really not sure if he would of done anything to me/my car.. i had 1 passenger...

very wound up right now... farkn FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

what would you have done?

what should i do now?

I can find out where he lives from his rego... but i dunno...

With 4 guys in the car and a crow bar you did the best thing....

you may have not got hurt or had confrontation but if you did you may have got hurt or your car damaged.

if he was on his own well you might consider it better off just driving off and dealing with him in other means .

Uuuuhm, sometimes it best to swallow a little pride & just walk away. In hindsight you may have done the right thing, personally I doubt it coz the thugs will probably have not learnt their lesson & do it to someone else. I doubt you'll have any success with the cops.

yeah, i did see a cop car on the side of the princess hwy about 2-3ks after it happened trying to get people speeding... was considering pulling over and telling him but figured he'd probably just try to defect me instead of chasing the guy....

now i've had time to think about it, i guess i did do the right thing, me and my car are untouched.. thats what counts...

would of been a much cooler story if i got out with my club lock tho :rofl:

just be thankful they didnt have a sawn off (they probably did)

people get car jacked every day

they just hang around waiting for oportunities to present themselves

as for being a cooler story if you'd gotten out of you car with a club lock - we'd pobably have seen your corpse on the 6oclock news.

    • 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.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
