Thought I'd start this post as in the past three days three different morons have decided on three separate occasions decided to scratch my car with there unique parking styles!! Once on Wednesday some prick keyed every car in my street yesterday a ute reversed into my front bar and just now tonight a cab scratched my drivers rear quarter attempting to reverse park into the spot behind me!! Feeling ropeable right now

Post up your unfortunate third party mishaps to your stag if any!

A while back an idiot reversed into the 25G with a bloody great 4WD with tow bar. Repair bill was $4k He would not pay. Took him to court and he agreed to pay $3k at $50 a week. He made one payment then no more. Back to court and got an order for him to pay the $4k. Got nothing.

The Stag looks s%#t now with silver guards and a white bonnet Colour is green..

My Stagea was vandalised in a carpark in my suburb, carved down to the undercoat on D/S front and rear quarter. The rear is 1½ feet long.

I still don't have the heart to repair it. With the other few marks on the car, it would probably be worth respraying the whole thing.

Three weeks after we bought the Stag, walking out of a shopping centre, nice big dent in drivers rear quarter, only in there 20 mins tops. Had fun with insurance on that one,

"But you just bought the car and we have to be sure it wasn't pre existing"

It wasn't and eventually all sorted, felt like a punch in the guts though.

This thread is actually making me feel better, somehow it's therapeutic to know mine isn't the only one being trashed.

My Stag was mint when I got it. My mother in law then rubbed it against another car at the local mall, putting a dent right on the wheel arch crease. Then my wife ripped off a mudguard molding on a garden edging next to the driveway. Then about 20 mouth breathers put various scratches all over it of varying length and depth.

Also I could whip up a pretty decent meal from the food scattered around the back seat, and top it off with a rub of chocolates from the front passenger's seat belt.

Have you looked into a respray dale?

Not as yet, and sadly my usual panel guy has retired, and sols his business to a guy whose prices are MUCH higher...

It was Springwood actually, in the council carpark behind the little nursery in the main street.

Out of everyone's way, in a corner.

Just senseless vandalism. Arseholes.

Some jetlagged idiot (me) thought he could reverse back and braille touch the kerb with the rear wheels in a narrow street - didn't see the slim tree back there and crunched a rear taillight... :verymad:

Parked in the uni carpark in June, some kid back out and dented and scratched the front passenger fender and front bar, and scratched the rim.

Luckily he was a good kid, left a note saying to go see security, he'd given security his contact details as it was raining (he was 17, pretty top thinking really)

Rang them, got it all sorted after parents asked to see the car to ensure quotes were correct, they were pretty good about it too.

Went to the local, got the guard and front bar fixed, both wheels on the passenger side got a respray as they couldn't match the colour. So now I'm thinking I have to get the other side matched :D

I once reversed into a bollard that was ever-so-slightly out of vision (not to mention that I was tired and just wanted to get home out of the heat), and when I got the scratch in the bumper repaired I used the opportunity to have the rear spoiler I'd bought painted and fitted.

A few week later, parked on the street behind a ute in Parramatta to meet some friends for dinner, and came back to a decent scratch in the bonnet from where the a$$hole had reversed into my car and scraped it with the rear tray. Scratch is roughly 3" by 3" and down to the primer against dark green paint. I was so annoyed because had it been before, I probably could have got it sorted at the same time as the rear bumper and spoiler.

I really hate the way that tray utes seem to be able to do this and extend the rear tray way beyond the rear bumber...

At the least the body builders should have to extend the rear bumper so it is in line with the end of the tray... I know that this is the law in EU... from a rear crash safety point of view it is scary to think that the tray is already half way up your bonnet before your front bumper hits their rear bumper...

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
