hmmm either something dodge is going on or im getting paranoid about my car...

I live in a small court which is sort of out of the way and not off any main roads. I normally park the car out on the road in the no parking zone :thumbsup: (haha no plates!!) cause we have like 9 cars and no where near enough space to keep em all.

anyway... in the last few weeks ever since its been stickered up there have been shite loads of people coming in and checking it out (hmmmm maybe i should have put a 4 sale sign on it...) aging from primary school to teens and oldies, everyone asking the same thing to each other... "WHAT THE **** IS IT???"

up until now i havent thought much of it and thought it was kinda funny... but last night at about 12am i came home from work and came around the corner and almost ran over about 15 people! there were another 10 on the foot path walking out and another 5 on the other side walking away... all in their teens and male and female... so i quickly went and parked the car and came out to the court and everyone had cleared out.

after i got out the car i checked over it... albeit in the dark... and everything, thank god was in place as i had left it... BUT this has prompted me to never... ever... leave it out there again ;) i took the front bar off, took it for a quick fang and then parked it up the drive again on the front lawn right near where the ridgeback lives :D

what do you reckon??? im paranoid? or better to be safe than sorry.

Last thing i want while im organising its sale to Jairus is some ass clown kicking in a panel or smashing the windows to steal the 5 gauges that are in it and what ever else they can pry out.

Better to be safe than sorry, most definately.....who knows what type of kids they are, or could be.

To get an idea of what they're doing there and what they are saying.....If you can be ****ed, lie in the back seat one night with baseball bat or something with a hockey mask and let them come back again....firstly hear what they're saying so you can get an idea of what they're doing there....admiring the car, or wanting to do something to it.....then the rest is upto you....not too sure what i would do in that type of situation though...lol....just an idea. (or maybee set up some cameras)...im sure theres many more ideas out there if these activities continue.

Steve.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed

      the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box

      Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.

      I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
