Attempted Break-in - Wgtn

Recommended Posts

Discovered yesterday the drivers door lock and surround had been damaged. Some bugger has had a go at getting into it. Not sure exactly where but most likely at Waterloo train stn park\'n\'rides, during the day. Only place its been parked when not in the garage.

Was either some amature, frighten off by alarm, or disturbed by someone as i dont think they even got inside the car - igniton barrel is fine. Nothing taken, gps etc. External damage is minor, door barrel on a funky upwards angle, and a deep gouge in the surround above it. Most likely a screwdriver. But luckily i still have the car and damage is superfical.

Only been in the wgtn area for 3mths, I knew it wouldnt take long. Seriously considering selling car to something less appealing to NZs criminal scum.

anyone know a good wgtn city panelbeater?

Unfortunately these days it seems you really need a s*** car for daily duties, and a good car that you keep locked up.

I won\'t park my nice car anyway but the petrol station while filling up... and I won\'t even take my eyes off it then.

Definitely amateur. Unlocking a Subaru is relatively easy without causing any damage - just watch a towtruck driver do it some time.

Which makes it frustrating when they do hundreds of dollars of damage to the panels and locks trying to get in.

That was another option, to just replace the door handle with a second hand one and recode a barrel.

The damage to the door is minor. But the area above the handle has been slightly push in, and not flush any more. Its an insurance job, so its just the excess to me. And a \'good as new\' door once complete.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
