Scrote City...Watch yourself and you car.


Recommended Posts

Well I just had a unpleasant experience.

Sitting at the computer checking the forums at about 1:30am I look over and notice the side flywire door is open a bit. Remembering I had just gone out about 5mins ago and put some cans in the recycling bin I thought it was a bit strange for me to leave the door open. I get up and go to close the door but for some reason my spidey sense is tingling and I step outside. As soon as my first foor hits the pavement outside the door an almighty bang and flash goes off, I'm like WTF then I notice a shadow at the drivers side door of my GTR on the other side of the fence. I move towards the fence and the shadow moves, I say "You right C*NT?!!!" and the guy standing next to my car on the other side of the fence bolts up the driveway and onto the road. Because of the locked gate I have to go inside and out the front door to catch up to the scrote but by the time I have grabbed my burglar 'pacifier' he's bolting down the street albeit without shoes which are on the road 2 houses up the street from my house.

I grab his shoes (which are nikes by the way) and continue up the street a bit before giving up and going home.

I then go around the side (after checking the car of course :)) and notice that the c*nt had thrown a dirty great big firecracker at me the moment I walked out the door (hence the big bang and flash) in order to either injure me or scare me into not following him. This thing has blown a hole in some garden pots made of strong plastic 2-3mm thick, I can only imagine what would've happened if he had hit me!

Looking at the evidence this guy jumped our side fence, cut a length of the flywire door in order to undo the lock I had put on it after putting the cans in the recycling bin, then walzed on it and started to look for my keys and any easy cash. He couldn't get my keys but he got an old purse of Mum's that only had old cards in it (her buglar decoy ;)) and then gone outside and thrown the useless purse away when he heard me coming into the family room. He's then jumped back over the side fence and thrown the firecracker at me as I come outside, waiting by my car to watch the mayhem.

As it happens I was in hero mood so the effect that the firecracker could've had on my body was only realised after I had finished chasing him and seen the damage to the pots.

Anyway to finish off I call the police and after they take the details and the shoes :) they leave promising to do some patrols but not expecting much.

And I get to spend the rest of the wee hours of the morning in the loungeroom waiting to see if he returns to collect his shoes. ;)

Looking out for barefoot, firecracker hurling lowlifes....

Rhino :(

I recently invested in a new little 'toy', a tricked out Sonic auto****er paintball marker for 1 purpose only. Ever been hit by a paintball going 500fps?, thats almost twice the speed a paintball on the feilds goes (290fps), guarenteed to criple any ****er trying to get into my car :P

I also have a sensor above my car, and its locked behind a garage door. but still I dont feel that its safe.

Good to hear that the car & you are fine.

memphis,

Good to see someone taking the vigilante approach, haha. If you hit them with that they will probably think that they are going to die, would teach them a serious lesson, not that I condone this sort of behaviour.

Cheers guys, the cops alluded to this sort of practise (not the firecracker bit) becoming very common. They also said that owning a car like ours is asking for trouble, what a sad sad world :)

This was in Willetton.

There was no way he was going to get my car as the keys are either on my person or within a foot of where I sleep at all times and the spares are very well hidden.

I'm just annoyed that this sort of incident ill probably never be resolved by the police.

No, don't expect that the police will do much, there probably isn't much to go on anyway. Best to beef up security a bit, I'm thinking of rigging and alarm to my sensor light, so it wakes me if it goes off in the middle of the night.

It sucks that us and our cars aren't safe.

Eeek! I'm in Willetton. My neighbour's car was broken in just the other day (no grace or attempts to be quiet here - they just smashed the driver's side window!) and now I'm all paranoid, esp. with reports of that kinda thing going on. Grrrrr...

I am not worried about the car anymore as I have just implemented some more security measures that ensure that even if some crook gets the keys and alarm remote the car aint going anywhere except on the back of a flatbed truck.

I am more worried that he wanted the car soo much that he was prepared to break into an occupied house at night to get it. These situations can escallate very quickly.

THINK they are gonna die? hehe. I will keep going till they are dead if they hurt my car.

Although I am currently looking for a new alarm for my car, I just got called home this morning cos someone broke into my house and stole my car stereo that I removed from my old car, they left the big screen tv, dvd player etc and took my car stereo!

Scares the hell outta ya.

It's rediculous the lengths we have to go to to protect our property. If there were tougher penalties, like death, then we wouldn't have these issues. Has any ever used a kill switch in there car, so that no matter what the crook ain't going no where?

Yeah.... There is nothiing the little b@rst@rds wont do these days.... About two years ago when I owned my VL turbo I woke up one morning to find my car broken into, stereo stolen and whole steering column stripped down ( good thing I invested in very good alarm ) and the car is parked right up against the house... I was furious....

After that my mothers VS commodore was ALWAYS parked behind my car to avoid it being stolen in the future ( You need the key to start )....

Two weeks later... 4am .... We are woken up by the sound of my mums car alarm going off.....dad looked out the window to find a guy getting into it, he chased them from the front door and they just took off in my mums car.... I got in my car and pursued, but by the time I got a couple of streets away after them I just found my mums car dumped on the side of the road...

Basically they came round the back of our house, broke in the back door.... went through to the kitchen, took the keys to my mums car and everything else of value they could find... went back around to the front, were in the process of moving my mums car with the keys ( luckily he didnt turn the alarm off first though ) when the botched it and set the alarm off, in order to move my mums car to try to steal mine for a second time..... There were about three of them too, they had a get away car across the road.... very organised.... I was just lucky they botched moving my mums car....

Needless to say our security at hoime now reseamble Fort Knox.... I am also another person who refuses to sleep more than a metre away from my keys....

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
