Hey,

This is so stupid that i had to post it. Someone stole the grill off my series 2 on Sunday night while it was parked in my carport. I was there and heard stuff but didn't realize what was happening until i saw it on Monday morning.

I mean for f9cks sake who does this shit? who goes around looking for cars that they can take parts off? like they can't afford to spend 150 bucks?? WTF? wasn't even carbon or anything and my car is stock as a rock.

so anyway this was in churchlands if anyone wants more detail (or has details) please pm me.

i am suspicious of a dark wrx that i had not seen before which was parked in the visitors bays that night. and i heard them come and go around the time i heard strange noises outside..

just a heads up for you all who don't have your cars garaged

Most just pull out cause the clips on them are rooted. but if the clips work you would have to lay down and put your arm up through the bottom of the bumper.

can that be done without damaging the car/grill?

yeah i'm not sure if the clips were broken from before or not. no real damage done to the car apart from a couple of scratches on the bumper

and since i have no FMIC that would make it easy to stick the hand up to reach it

i park my hr31 in the city. as i was leaving the carpark i realised my indicators were playing up. i though a bulb had just blown, i got home to find a front indicator (rectangle one in the bumper) was missing completely, not just the lens the whole lot including wires & plug! :)

r31jspec from r31 forums had a spare he gave me for free :(

well..got another grill - $100

turns out that they did break one of the stays on the light fitting that it clips in to. probably couldn't be arsed un-clipping it and just yanked the shit off. it was a new light as well.

wasn't pissed off at first but now it's really hit me how lame this is and the trouble i have to go to fix it. what losers if i ever catch the fu4kers i'll rip their eyes out

Same shit happened to my 32, except they didnt take the wiring just the indicator. Got orange ones for 50bucks but still a pain in my ass.

This sort of stuff happens more than you might think - my Aunt has a lx ss hatch she has owned it since new. While it was in a parking garage in the city where she works she had her side mirrors stolen! Some people have no shame

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
