The only one I saw on the news was in Wellington St East Perth - a 200SX and the owner in hospital. The car jackers stole the car again from the cop shop to make things worse.

They claim it is the african group that was in yesterday's paper - they seem to operate in any area

Was listening to the scanner last night..

A black 2002 Model 200SX with plates W1E it was.. got re-stolen..

there was a stakeout operation near carousel where the car was dumped, they were hoping to catch the culprits as they returned to the car later on.

2 undercover cars, and a canine unit were deployed from what i heard on the air....

SCANNERS RULE!

i got car-jacked 2 months ago, they took my white 33  and they were of middle eastern origin i think, so just watch yourselves and always make sure your doors are locked and just always be watchin your back for anyone suspicious....

hope this doesnt sound rude, R33_CAM but i was wondering how big u r? ....like how tall r u? r u 18 or something? is there any reason why u think they may have thought u were an easy target?

.......should i keep trying to get beefcake? hehee......

happened in northern suburbs, Beldon to be exact, BP Service Station CNR of Eddystone and Ocean Reef Rd.

GR33DyMANGO: im 22, not big either, so yeah that could have been why they targeted me, not sure really, dunno if they had been following me or it was just a random thing, bit scary at the time, but its forgotten now, i only have the scars and the big dentist/insurance/tranfer fees etc etc to deal with now hehehe:mad: :D:P and the a** hole gets away with it:headshot:

it was in the carpark just across from BP, my mate was there but there were 2 of them and my mate bot a broken nose also, ppl came over but it was too late he had already taken off in my car, im ok now apart from the extra money that i had to fork out for insurance and dentist (he knocked my front teeth out), the car was a write off, as the got in a high speed chase, got away from the cops, then crashed it in south perth.... but i have a new one thanks to RAC, i was fully covered so it was no hassles.

and they are a** holes ppl that go round doing that, they should work for it as you said, but they'll get theres one day, cause what goes around comes around:D

I think a while back, when we heard about Cam, some ppl were disscussin pepper spray on ure keyrings. I thought this was a pretty good idea seeing as if u blast em witht he spray u will have enuff time to get the "persuader"(sp) out from next to the drivers seat.

Hey if i catch one of these guys id go to great lengths to cart em to the nearest police station KOed (after makin a stop to pick up contriband substances of a jailable amount):D

Chances are if u nail one of these guys and drag him to the station u will prolly get charged with "grevious bodily harm" or something like that. We could always go back to the stoneages and start cutting off hands but that wouldnt be very pretty would it.

*sigh* well what can ya do

Sorry about the rant but when i heard about the tooth thing i really lost it. Both my front teeth are implants and just one of em is worth alot more then one of these scumbags life.

i was thinking of stun guns too, and i actually did come across one site in america that would ship them to australia, in two pieces so customs wouldn't see them, one bit one week and then the other bit the next week, but that was before all this happened and i lost there address :D but i think ill start looking again, cause u have to do something these days, the cops say dont take the law into your own hands, but they cant keep getting away with it, cause then they will keep doing it. maybe if some car owners/enthusiasts start kickin some butt, it mite deter a few of them...

Carjack protocol.

1. 'persuade' theif to not take car. (using pepper spray, acid, tazer or similar)

2. tie rope to back of car

3. tie other end of rope to theif(s)

4. Plant drugs, child and animal porn, nazi emblems, and anti police slogans on them.

5. drive to police station, using excessive speed drifting around corners, and swerving violently towards and away from obstacles.

6. untie rope from car.

7. get going quick.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
