I hate this stuff.. In the year i've had my car i have seen someone hit it while it was parked in a car park, luckily i got the details. Had dents put in the roof by god knows what. The other week walked back to my car to find someone had reversed into it denting the number plate and cracking the paint. Did some door knocking but no one saw anything. I have hence dubbed it the shit magnet.

saw a couple of 15 yearolds once key someones car cus they couldn't joyride it because it had an alarm/imobiliser in it so it was to hard to brake in, held them there till the cops showed up, and the cops were like is the parents that are going to have to pay for the damage, i would have loved to kick their asses before the cops got there if i knew they would get off that easy.

there's no respect for peoples property these days

My car was keyed twice, on friday and last night saturday in an underground residential parking lot.

If this sh!t happens again, it's looking very much like one of the residents.

You haven't bumped into anyone in the corridor?

Have a suspect, wat do?

Do you have an alternative "safer" car parking spot avail.?

Does he (assuming a he) have a nice car?

If he has a nice car and yours is parked elsewhere, you can lean on it, have lunch on it and he'll feel the persecution! > get insomnia > blood pressure rises > cardiac arrest > red carnation on his coffin compliments of MRSAMO.

move your car somewhere else, and whoever parks there after you is probably the person who keyed your car- if your absolutely sure that it was the parking that was the issue. then slash tyres.

i agree, move the car in a clearly visible location but i disagree with the slash tires comment as the ass that did this to your car may be away and someone else uses the spot, you would make things worse with the locals or worse get caught, try talk to the tenants there, see if they had similar issues and see if anyone suspects someone, most times u will find an old lady that has nothing better to do than spy on her neighbor, with a bit of luck you might be able to park near her view so you can get free surveillance ..lol

    • Cam seals go hard. It's a very old car.
    • Also, maybe this is better in General ? 
    • Updated most. I really need to get a crawler to report on all broken links on the site.
    • So my rb is finally having more problems. 2 issues here but I'm here to just to mainly discuss the rattle noise. The other day when I turned on the car and when I take off or go in reverse, there is a temporary rattle noise but when I cruise, boost, idle it's completely fine no rattle whatsoever. I've also done all the servicing, all the health checks you can think of and it all passes with flying colours.  Also the rattle doesn't increase with rpm, it's only at a very certain rpm (slightly above 1,100rpm). My other car also has the same issue every once in a while. Changed the oil recently, no difference. Even took my oil to a lab and everything was quite good surprisingly. Timing belt changed a while ago to. Had the car on the hoist and can't see anything obvious. Tightened a couple of nuts on the exhaust manifold a couple of months ago. 2 different clips uploaded. One of them was supposed to another issue but I'll save that for another time. Thought I'd see if anyone had this same noise before, it's a bit hard to diagnose while it's intermittent. If I'm not mistaken, I think I had this a while back but can't remember exactly. I was thinking if it's doable I'll get someone to hold the throttle cable at 1,100rpm and hopefully it replicates the sound. rb25det rattle only.mp4 rb25det slow start + rattle.mp4
