I lent my car to a mate for about a wheel (whilst he was building his 86) and ti came back with 2 massive dents in the drivers door. The bastard didn't even offer to help fix it or even say sorry!!!

Hope he isn't your mate any more :blink:

The guy looked around, saw a bunch of people watching, wrote a note, and placed it under the windscreen wiper.

As the guy drove off, my Uncle went and had a look at the note and saw that it was blank.

What a scumbag! Hope he got what he deserved.

I parked my old car in front of my house all the time... and then one day I woke up to see the number plates stolen. Not happy - about 3 hours late for work that day.

It's a quiet neighbourhood with decent people, so it must've been some lowlife cruising the streets in a hot car to pick up some plates to exchange. The plates were just normal plates, but it was a pain in the ass to get new ones.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but does anyone know what happens if your custom plates are stolen? I heard you can't get them back again, but that doesn't sound right to me.

This was discussed on the Evo forum recently. Personalised plates can be replaced but it appears normal ones aren't (that was the conclusion reached). Logically, if you pay $400-$500 for custom plates, someone then pinches them, why should you be penalised for their actions. Standard issue $30 plates though, just replaced with standard issue ones I believe.

About a year ago, it was 10pm, i was parked at a lookout in the parking. I had a black Honda integra.

A white holden commodore, was reversing, straight in to the back of me. As he hit me, i started up the car, having a bad gut feeling that he would do a runner.

He sat there for about 4 seconds before deciding to gun it. I reversed, went after him...

Eventually cought up to him on the freeway, i flashed my lights a number of times but he wouldnt pull over. Thinking i had all the evidence i need i went to cop shop.

I explained what happend and told the copper that i wanted press charges because the person did a runner and failed to stop to exchange details.

Another officer examined his car and because there was "no damage" there was nothign i could do. I was left with a hole in my bumper bar (body kit), had his details, had everything and couldnt do nothning....Whatta fair world.

On the other hand if i knew that i wasnt gonna get anyway with cops, i would have chased him down in his pissy commodore and belted the asshole.

Was the cop blind? "No damange?" wtf? Yes... the hole in your bumper is a.. brake cooling duct.

when i first got my 33 i had had it for a week and i was parked outside a mates house for 30min and came out to see the driver side with a nice red spray paint stripe all down the side,at first i though some1 didnt like me much until i drove up the street and noticed another half a dozen cars with the same stripe,turns out the bastards sprayed 30 cars in my area,i was lucky enough to take my car straight to a detailer who removed it all free of charge what a champion,he also said if i had left the paint on there for to long i would of needed a respray

    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
