Hey guys, i've been online for to long so i'll keep this short.

My Father just informed me that 2 youngish guys (mid 20's) came to my house today saying they were from "Western Electricity" (they had jackets with that logo on them) My father asked for ID but they said they did'nt have any on them (highly illegal not to carry ID when representing a business and coming to someones property) They then asked how many people lived at the property, my dumbass dad told them, then they asked if the statesman out the front was his? for some unknown reason he didnt tell them to get the hell off the property and said "Yes it is" then they asked what kind of car his son (me) drives, he then told them it was "one of those sporty things".

I cant for the life of me fathom why alarm bells did'nt trigger with him, but he was kind enough to give them all that info. Then they left........

Now alarm bells rang with me immediately as i've recently given quite a few people my address to come and see the car, that hav'nt turned up.

As soon as he told me (only a few minutes ago) I checked the phone books for "Western Electricity" ....surprise surprise, they wer'nt there.

I called directory assistance and they have no listing of the company either.....now can someone tell me why an allegedly large electricity company (that i've never heard of mind you) has absolutely no way of being able to be contacted?

Has anyone ever heard of this company? and if so, get me their damn number and i'll be abusing the hell out of them. Although i'll check 1st to see if they had anyone come to my area.

Just a warning to everyone out there, that i beleive 70% that these guys were there to plan on stealing my car, and if anyone can help me out with any info on the alleged company i'd greatly appreciate it.

Andrew, quick search on the list of all Electrical contractors in Australia

will search more tommorrow, but for now, i dont think this "company" exists

Energy Australia are currently doing door knocking in the ACT. Not sure if it was possibly some of these guys? Although wouldn't explain why they were asking about the cars nor the lack of identification. Girl that was at my door had clear identification though.

if you wanna leave your car at some other location, i'll give up my garage spot for a couple of nights if you need it. plenty of safe sercure parking at my joint. its off street. the offer is there.

wow, thanks alot Luke!

It should be all good at my place, i've gone into lock down mode and its now very very secure, for those of you that have seen where i park it you'll know just how hard it is to walk past...let alone steal. But i've now taken even more measures to secure it. Thats not to say its theft proof, but it'd be damn hard.

I called Ecowise, and got put straight through to a manager named Mick, he was REALLY concerned but very helpful. As my father was the only one that saw them, Mick asked that my Father call him back, they have photos of many current and previous employees and its quite likely that if thats the case then my dad can identify them.

I'll get back to you all asap.

What the hell was your dad thinking?

I wouldnt be at all suprised to hear about an attempt (succesful or not) to steal your car in the next week or so.

I think you left out a really important question, why would they want to know about the cars? Why? Is that all they asked about?

Again I refer to the top of my post...

well.... damn, sounds uber dodgy! id say call the cops and let em know, its abit of a shame your dad cant remember what company it was :S it wouldve cleared it up alot. and if u wanna get your mug on tv go to 60 mintues or a current affair! theyll take anything as a story. hope nothing goes wrong andrew and if alarm bells do ring im only less than 5 mins away ill be sure to bring crowbars, baseballs bats, trolly poles or nunchuks. just let me know :):)

hahah you sneaky lil bastard gus lol!

Im waiting on a call from my Dad to let me know whats happened, my guess is, he's forgot what day it is, thinks he's some sort of spacecowboy or all of the above.....senility is a cruel mistress bahaha.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
