Hey guys, just thought I would pass this information on.

We had a number of car Numberplates stolen at work (in Campbell). They weren't very smart about it and just tried to tear them off cars. Several cars were damaged.

If you live in or around the area, it might be a good idea to take some precautions.


If you have any information, please call the Police (I hope they actually do something about it). Don't be a hero, some of these guys aren't worth getting involved with.

So they'll be used for petrol thieving and more serious crimes right?

...especially the latter before 1/7/13 when number plate recognition comes into force right?

Actually ACT police can access all that info right now!

Had a spate out my way a few months back. First my girls after a sleep over and a week or so later my rear plate.

Was only bout an hour before I discovered it missing and reported to both local servos and cops.

Police called the following day saying they had it. Wouldn't say if they caught the culprits.

Got different plates anyway and put those special number plate screws in.

    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
