Not really relevant - I walked out of the pub recently to find some prick on a bmx lining my 34 up to bunny-hop onto the bonnet, his mates are in a VE ute egging him on. Nothing I could do to stop him in time so off he goes, onto the bonnet, then the wheels go out from underneath him and he puts his head clean through the windscreen, blood everywhere.... instant karma I guess (and a well waxed bonnet :P ) His wanker mates grab him and his bike and throw them in the back of the ute and scream off, not before I got the number plate of course. The damage, well aside from the windscreen the bmx pedals put two tear jerking gouges down the bonnet plus other small scratches, the front bar had a 5 inch crack in it, and the smashed glass/blokes head tore up my dash. Anyways, cops got them, charged him, and he has a lovely 2 grand bill to fork out for, oh and a fractured cheekbone... but come on, grow up you f***s!

very nice to hear!!!!! instant justice ( wish it always happened :S)

Well i can say one thing im glad they didnt cover it in petrol and light it on fire.. that would have been a little worse i think!! Just means from now on i can refuse to leave my car at places and not feel like a pussy about it coz sh!t like that can happen. Better safe than sorry!

I never park my car in an unpopulated carpark and its always well away from other cars and trolleys, i dont care what people think about me being paranoid because this just proves im not :P

Should get a bunch of real nice cars and park them in the middle of the carpark one time.. then get all of us to hang round the corner with bats! Bingo Bango!! Or maybe i should put beartraps all around my car so they're still out there when i finish work:)

Im in for this

hey, ive just noticed that, even tho there is two sides to this story, we have found out , most of us have seen dumb crap for no reason, at mostly at skylines :( ..

hey, some one said booby trap the car, i swear i seen in a country somewere and they had flame throwers under the sides of the car, so if its stolen and they get to close to the passanger and drivers sides doors, flame throwing that reach about 60cms :) GROUP BUY? ;)

In for a group buy :P

Ive got full comp insurance but being the first year ive had the car and being 19 it means my excess is 3 grand :( Thinking now that ill get a decent alarm when i can.....wonder if i can get those riot mines with the rubber projectiles installed........ :banana:

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
