Hey All,

I went to Box-hill shopping centre to do some shopping over the weekend, so naturally i parked in the box hill shopping centre car parking. I finished my shopping and returned to my car, to find that the petrol tank cover was open.

I walked over, and the first thing that came to my mouth was 'F*ckin Muthaf*cking C*nts'.... upon closer inspection my petrol cover had been jimmied open with some sort of instrument.......Why would one break into someones petrol cover though?

I started up my car and from full tank........mate i must of had about 1/4 left! Haha i actually found it quite pitiful and amusing and did have a bit of a laugh about it. I couldnt' believe it i'd just been SIPHONED!!!!!!

The damage to the petrol cover wasn't too bad, just a few paint chips on the inside of the petrol lid/cover so at least they did a good job and didnt' damage much.

F*ckin povo c*nts......i mean $1.40 a litre is bad but ppl are going around looting ppl's petrol tanks like its gold or something! I imagine with rising prices you will get all sorts of peasants siphoning petrol out of unsuspecting car owners!!!!!!!!

during the day as well......big deal i guess $40-50 in petrol and a few scratches/paint chips on the petrol cover......its the principle though! I've never 'stolen anyone elses petrol'.....( well......apart from the B.P in mill park!!! but that was ages ago....)

You guys might want to beware of peasants stealing petrol......you'll go shopping, come back and bang u've been drained for all ur worth! hehe.

How about this, my mate works at coles nightfill, has a crappy old camry, security came in about midnight saying they found 3 cars missing numberplates, one was my mate, just parked there they stole the number plates, so they called hte cops, dusted for prints etc, they found out later, all 3 plates were reported stealing petrol from a servo 10mins down the road.

So 3 cars, steal 3 lots of number plates together, then go fill up together and drive off with fake plates attached... hahaha

yeah true. its still low as f**k though. jesus petrol prices have gone down in the last few weeks anyways so i dunno what people are on about with ever increasing petrol, 3 weeks ago i was paying 1.48 ( 98 ron ), now im only paying 1.35, 13 cents a litre is still 13 cents a litre in the downwards direction.....

back when i was about 17 one of my mates was 18; the rest of us were all under 18 so he was the only one with a licence and his mums wheels. Anyhows one night no1 had any cash and we wanted to go out for a cruise; so we went down the street to the old datsun. It was missing its petrol cover lid so we had direct access to the petrol tank.

We didn't have an auto-siphoner so we used to just grab a 20 ltr jerry can and a 2 metre length of garden hose. We'd walk down there under the cover of night and there was always an argument before hand on who had to 'start the siphon' - which was done by sucking on the garden hose inserted into the petrol tank like a massive straw hehe. If you were lucky u'd get a mouthful of petrol, unlucky you might swallow a little bit and if ur really unlucky like my mate he got the siphon started, it went into his mouth, he pulled out the hose from his mouth and it got him all over the face and in the eyes lolllllll I remember him saying 'I CANT FKN SEE!!! I CANT FKN SEE' so my other mate holding a ciggie goes over to help him lol stupid twats.

karma eh.......Maybe its payback for my antics back when i was 17!

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
