I am getting very sick of getting eggs thrown at my car... I just got hit again the other day - third time this year and I have had enough. Two have hit the side of the car putting really trendy egg marks down the side of it, the other hitting the front windscreen. I was so angry as it wasn't just me in the car, but my wife and baby on our way home late at night... The cops weren't overly helpful, but I suppose not much they can do.

I thought of making up some stickers that can be added to each time I get hit (trying to be a little positive about the whole ordeal). Does anyone want one (or multiple).

Is this while you've been driving? Or parked in the driveway at home?

I've been egged once (and I know who the person is) and I was lucky that the dipshit who did it wasn't very smart and egged the car one cold night when it was all dewey. There for, the egg did not harm the paint, not stick to it to damage it. We took it straight to the carwash at 2am in the morning to get it all off.

I got egged twice, fist time I didn't know who it is, but on the second time we were having a BBQ and i recognise the exhauste note. Anyway nothing a paintball gun with about 50 frozen paintballs can't fix. This is what I call artificial hail damage.

If you know the right people semi automatic wepons are still avaliable :D

I dont think some of these people think, as in I dont think they realise the egg actually stuffs the paint, and the shell can scratch. They just think of it as an annoyance, not so much damage. If they did some might not do it. Not an excuse but hey.

i have been egged while driving. was in my liberty i was egged by a red ford laser with the plates of 459 BAC i will never forget the little bastard. chased him for about 20 minutes. btw my windows were down at the time and i got egg all through my interior and over my cd's which dont work now. was picking out shell for weeks. one egg almost hit me in the face, it hit the head rest just behind my head.

if anyone finds the red ford laser kh or kf model with plates of 459 bac i give full permision to kick the sh*t out of his car !

Each time was when driving in different locations. The first time I parked around the corner and went looking thru the school if I could find the bastards. Other two were with wife and kid in the car while driving. The better half didn't want me to turn around incase they threw more.

The egg chell actually scratches the paint to the point of leaving bare metal. There is only a certain amount buffing will do. The first egg mark has now started to show some slight rust even though I washed it off immediately and applied some clear coat when it was dry (didn't have any touch up paint).

I think if it happens again I will go insane... haha

May even take on some of your suggestions

farkkk... If that was me (this might sound macho) but i'd jump on the brakes.. no matter who was in the car.. (i dont have a wife and kid of course) pop the trunk lock the car.. get out ye old trustee 1W.. and beat the c**ts to an inch of there life.. call the ambo's.. tell them what happened... and hand myself into the police.. i believe if i do something like that I should get punished too.. But at least id have my revenge and a clean conscience.. my mind works in weird ways.. but no, i have never been egged thankfully (and yes I keep golf clubs in my boot cause I play golf)

I had strawberry thick shake thrown on my black skyline at work. Right in front of my face the poor kid tripped twice getting away... I think he may have even broken his nose.... (blood on the path)

He learnt his lesson....

Serrious im slow and couldnt keep up, he seriouslly triped twice face planting the concrete walk way..... Was so funny i stopped chasing him and pi$$ed myself laughing.... Then drove the car run to the dock and hit it with the fire hose and all washed away with no damage at all...

oh baby there is....

We have cameras out the back due to midnight burnouts near the dock and donuts on the truck turning pad. Also we had problems with a certain tyre shop dumping tyres in the creek...

But i cant get the footage as its keep very secure....

The guy reported it to the police saying i assulted him and we showed the footage to the cops.... Nuf said.... They laughed and i heard nothing more...

Best thing for paint work, that got egg, to stop it dead in it tracks is apply wd40 to the affected area, as this slows down the oxidisation of the paint by choking it of oxygen and allowing time for you to cut polish or kick it in, well what ever float your boat at the time, LOL. Alot of ppls don't understand how frustated owners can get after being egged, and I know sometime I get all work up and do some dumb shit but I never regret kicking the crap out of the little f**ker.haha.

WTF!!!

what is the world coming to! how does he think he can take you to the cops saying you assaulted him!

did you know the guy and he had a grudge against you?

thats a joke, sometimes i wish they would bring back public beatings to shame crims like him.

what a joke

    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
