Hi all,

I'll be honest in saying im trying to make up my 10 posts so i can PM people =/

That said where are the 3 places you avoid ever parking your beast??

I'll go with the obvious ones;

Shopping centres where possible

Movies (too long away from my car I would struggle to enjoy the movie)

Out the front of peoples houses in but not limited to;

Thornlie, Gosnells, Mirrabooka, Koondoola, Balga, Girrawheen, Joondalup etc etc oh.. And of course Northbridge..

=)

Large shopping centres - Garden city, Caro etc. If i do park there ill hunt around for a good parking spot.. one next to a wall or a curb.

I agree with you on the movies... Alot of car break in happens at the cinema. Although if i watch a movie during the day its not so bad. Its the nights, especially Thursday night where all the gangster wannabe trash hang around.

Northbridge + Freo... drunk ass's that walk around can do alot of dmg. If i do park there, its usually in the CPP.

Im SOR so parking outside houses is still ok here...

Ive had a few car break ins (not in my skyline, but my other car) at curtin uni. Thats a shit of a place to park. not only do u get car break in but.... People there dont give a shit how they park, they will park so dam close to you even tho you have parked so close to the curb on the other side.. they seem to not follow the lines but follow the car instead. That really shits me.

I usually will give them a piece of my mind if we end up leaving at the same time...

Armadale shopping centre before the upgrade.

I returned to my car to see that a woman had parked her trolley against my car to stop it from creeping down the hill that we were parked on as she was starting to offload her food shopping.

I got to my car and she stopped what she was doing and looked at me. I grabbed her trolley and pushed it down the hill, with her in hot pursuit.

The best part was when it got to the bottom of the hill and hit the kerb as it endo'd and spilled all over the road.

I looked at where she had leaned the trolley on the car and saw a minor scratch that wasn't there before.

I got in my car and drove off.

Fair trade in my opinion.

Agree'd on Curtin, I had some girl drive straight into mine even after trying to correct the angle 2 or 3 times.

I always try to park next to nice cars or curbs and sometimes return only to see an old beat up thing next to mine :thanks:

park next to curbs or in corners...stay away from spaces that TRUCKS CAN PARK IN >: (

perfect example... parked in a complete empty car park at gateways... a big western power truck parked right next to the car... western power truck pulls out and doesn't do a correct turn and the wheel scrapes the end of the car...

not a very nice situation

so pick your spots wisely!!!!

If you have early classes (like 8'oclock ones) then I found the best spaces are in student car park 1. When you go in to the car park from the main entrance, there are a couple of car park spaces on the right that are about 1.5x wider than regular spaces. I always park there if I going to be at Uni for extended periods of time.

Armahole is still dodgy, doesnt matter how many new buildings and trainstations they build

To quote an old saying: You can chrome & polish a turd but at the end of the day it's still a turd!!!!!!!!

Oh and don't take yer pride & joy to Bunnings either, someone didn't like mine (or me) and walked around it with a very sharp implement. I think the roof was the only panel not resprayed

Won't argue with that.

There's just no more sideways hill parking so the leaning incident probably won't happen again.

WTF so now im left with damage n she wont pay!!! fu#kn broad minded person

    • Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum. 
    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
