I'm in the Belco area. My brother's car (Honda 4 banger, nice looks but nothing overly special) just had a massive brick thrown through his passenger window. We heard a smash and a loud car like another honda/hyundai/something with a big canon exhaust on it hoon away. I rushed out and stood quietly on the street corner and could actually hear the same car going around Page/Scullin area, revving up high in second gear, then slowing down, very frequently, and repeatedly up and down the streets, like someone looking for something (more ppl to vandalise or attempt to steal I guess). I WISH my car wasn't in the shop atm, or I would have been after them like a shot, and I reckon I coulda tracked them down just by pulling over and listening for their srupidly loud engine noise telegraphing their position half a suburb away... especially in the cold morning air!

I'm so annoyed right now. One of my brothers front tyres blew out on him only 3 days ago, he's been patiently putting up with giving me lifts around to get my car sorted, and now this ****. I'm not a vigilante, but I would have found em, got their rego/make/model and maybe followed from a VERY long distance while having a passenger call the police to catch them.

There aren't words to describe how frustrating it is, and that's ME, not him - he'd be more p1ssed off! And MAN does it suck having slow-witted parents who are too scared to even go outside when they think a vandal is 'on the loose'.

Did anyone else in that area get vandalism, or notice any stupidly loud-exhausted cars going up and down streets??? It happened at about 2.50pm and they were cruising around the suburbs for at least the next 15 minutes, EASILY heard from several streets away. If so, PM me! WE'RE FUMING!!!!! :D:)

Errr I guess it would sound like every other little four cylinder car with a farty exhaust on it. I couldn't tell... just heard if hoon off, then it going up and down the streets in Scullin in a very 'wandering' fashion. Excess is gonna be $1600 (noone to point the finger at, and bro is under 25, with just cars). A friend of his said his Prelude's window was 600 itself to fix, and there's panel damage on my bro's, so we figure easiest to just make the claim and be assured the repairs will be good (or sorted out if the insurance repairer stuffs it up, as we know they can).

    • Hey all, I'm working on a project car and I believe I made some mistakes. I'm looking to remove the clear coat from my car on most panels (except for panels where the paint has blistered, I will sand this), but wanted to know if these steps are correct?   1) Get a red scuff pad (abrasive one) instead of sand paper to remove the shine from the surface 2) get 400 grit sand paper and go over the entire car with a random orbital sander so the surface is smooth and the primer can grab onto something 3) On the blistered paint, go over it with around 120 grit sand paper, go to 240 to smooth out the scratches, then finish on 400 grit. Anything to add in here or any feedback?
    • Agreed, another vote for the Haltech CAN wideband.  No voltage offset errors is a beautiful thing.
    • Just get a Haltech CAN wideband, no need to wire any delay circuits, or relay, etc. Since I've moved to a Haltech CANbus wideband, I have not replaced a single sensor for over 5 years (if not longer, can't remember when moved to Haltach).
    • Small analogue delay circuit with a relay. Just need a trigger, say, fuel pump running for more than 5s or so? Or, you could go full mental and write a sketch for an Arduino.
