Oh Ya Gota Be Joking!

I think you should get into the habit of mowing the lawn at 1am... Then they won't complain about the car...

[madbung]

I think you should write a letter back to them, than letter drop it to everyone in your street..

Has to be someone close (next door or over the road) to you if they are being woken up/annoyed at the turbo timer..

They obviously have nothing better to do with their time.. it's annoying because you can't even have a chat to them about it.. could atleast have left a name on it..

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

good call, with a copy of the original complaint enclosed.

[ranicx]

People who live in streets with speed humps know that they increase noise from cars because they are slowing down then speeding up again.

I don't think your new people to the street are the culprits judging by the "just like the idiots that used to use..." comment.

I drive normally with not much boosting the last little bit before I get home so I don't need the turbo timer so that's an easy fix.

yeh could be an older resident. good point. down the road a bit there used to be alot of ppl that would do burn outs there (ya could tell cause there was always new tire marks out side the one house, lol) and it was known as the party house.. didnt bother me one bit oviously it did bother some1 else which is fare enough if there doing burn out all the time.

They talk about previous 'draggers'?

Request names/makes of cars and rough dates

No need to travel at a speed where the waste gate needs to expels pressure?

Even in 1st gear im sure if would be loud. Would they prefer you turned it off and pushed it? Im guessing you use 2nd gear for 40k's - but then "run the risk" of a 'child or someone being injured or killed'?

The letter is addressed "Concerned residents" - when you locate the author request names (or house numbers) of other concerned residents who are threatning you - if there are actually any!

Stiff fine?

For what? driving home? Sounds like the resident (s) who wrote this letter need a hobby

i usaly change from first to 2nd at around 30ks or 40ks (in which case i just skip 2nd and go to 4th to just crusie the 200meters till i go back to 2nd to turn the corner)

[Moanie]

also they are complaining that i get home too late on some week nights, which is around 2am some times. which i have in the past weeks, but i rarly do cause i have to get up for work at 5:30am mon-friday. and it also goes "the speeds that he is doing" saying im hooning down the street heaps fast!, i know this is word against word here, but i swear to god (or anything ya want), that i have never sped down my street doing in exces of 50kph which is the posted speed limit

ill try and get a scan of the letter if i can grab it off the table

ok got a scan of it... now ya can see y im so angry

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

omg!! what are they you parents, complaining about you coming home at 2:30am!! its a free world! you pay to live in your st.. they should get a life!!!! how loud is your car at night? does it really echo up the st?

my neighbours are cool!!! I only have one real neighbour that i can annoy, but he is cool, cause he love antique cars, so he is always in the garage fiddling around... so he understands my obsession

[satanic]

What happens when you complain to M&Ms factory, or a Pepsi company saying stuff like "they melted in my hand" or "my Pepsi was sour"? They send you more...

I say, since they complain about one car - why not give them more sl!m's idea is goot

[Moanie]

hahaha.. i love hte idea of a cruise down the street!!! its time to shit stir these neighbours of yours

[ranicx]

its not overly loud at all.. if anything its quite a low nice bass tone, not that loud.. i duno if others have this, but theres a muffler half way through the exhaust as well, which anoys me cause its so large that its lower then anything else on the bottom of the car and tends to scrape alot on a non lowered car..

maybe if moonie came a crusie she could hear it hehe

[satanic]

EDIT: Look at the letter properly... notice the use of language and punctuation. Then notice the lack of spell-check, I think you should pass this off as a stupid attempt from one of the kids

[BiZzReVhEad]

I have had my neighbour complain to me . He came up to me one day after work and politely asked me why the car has to be running after i get out of the car . I kindly explained to him the physics of Metalergy , and what happens to a turbo if its stopped suddenly.

He then asked if it was nessasary to have it running at all hours of the night when i come home late (12am-6am) on weekends. I said to him i will drive the car slowly a few kms away from my house ( meaning under boost ; 1500-2500 rpm) and when i get home i will turn it straight off ,so as not to wake every1 in my street up with my idle. My neighbour works for the RTA too.

Since then its been sweet, I have turned it off when i come home late and he seems happy.

To bad for you that they are doin such actions to you man, I would honestly go around each of ur neighbours and ask them if they have any issues with you and your car ?

Do you know whos complaining?

[^De_LiL_Devil^]

hahaha... i'l lhear it wheni cruise to your street rani!!!

and same here biz.. i drive slow or around the block before heading home.. then down my street and driveway i roll the car... but it still sux cause its a private driveway, so the car echos when i go up the hill to my house.. but yeah.. no complaints! whew!

[gts25x]

do people have nothing better to do know days..

im tipping elderly and they probably dont even have kids. people like this really tick me off, they think cause ur cars louder than the norm u must be speeding.

pik the three houses in ur street with the best gardens and presentation and send them a letter bak, they'd be the ones that spend all day and night looking through the blinds and will pick and nag on things

[^De_LiL_Devil^]

still think a cruise down ranicx's way would be better fix them right up

[bloodsword27]

shit...that sounds like MY street! lol

only i know exactly who the whingers are! well i don't exactly have a black spot in his books...jus ta grey one. he dislikes the "young ones" of the street coz i drive an r33 gtst, my friend across the street drives an r32 gtst, and his brother has a 200sx. my friends come by now and then, and i understand how it can be annoying somethimes, and ask them to turn the turbo timers off, or tell them when to come over or not. that dickhead is still whinging buot how my friend left his tracks on the street. i mean. you can blame people for their own actions, but not for the actions of others.

i get the point when he looks my way just sitting in my car at mid day listening to a few tunes...GOSH.. get a life! he complained to me when some idiots came down the street and floored it, and said they were my friends...and that i called them up to piss him off....

fellow members of the skylines crew....lets give him and the whingers of Nancy Place a REAL reason to whinge about..... i mean, people living out their hobbies here! not like i tell ihm to shut d F!@# up when he listens to his 80's music of walks around in a singlet showing off his beer gut... man...i can call the cops for indecent exposure on him! hahaha

[Moanie]

yeah!!! someone organise a cruise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so there

[Flaps]

First of all black out the name of your street and suburb.

I would go door knocking to find out who wrote the letter and then discuss a quick resolution suggesting that they move out of the street if they don't like your car.

Are there any retired people in your street?

[Liz]

man how annoying...no wonder you are so worked up about it

I reckon its some old man who spends all day looking out the window and has a twitchy eye.. and he smells

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

not a bad idea, they'd feel like a right old git writing an anonymus (sp? lol) letter when you confront them right away

[SECURITY]

consider yourself lucky that all you got was a letter.

i got police coming to my house saying someone called crimestoppers saying that i carried marajuana plants into my house from my car!

i was really pissed off but what could i do?

my neighbours are f**k heads. i never did any of that crap to begin with, now i drop it to 2nd whenever i hit my street and make my mates drive to my house pumping their systems and letting bov's go off before we go out.

f**king wankers!
