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.

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...

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.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
