wow i didnt think of the tail pipe idea, ill check that today.

im thinking pokeys idea on draining the tank will be the best way to go about draining it without removing the tank.

still no word about if this was all on video or not.

I hope they nail that cocksucker to the wall.

Didn't most of these engine trouble start after this happened? Might be time for a new engine with someone else footing the bill

Hmm, 3 liter?

PhillysMostWntd - sorry about the confusion on the vacuum lines. That was a picture of Razorback1980's engine, not yours. Let me re-phrase that reply...

HEY Razorback1980 - YOUR VACUUM LINES ARE REVERSED.

try to set up your own camera... you could even put it in the car somewhere... or in a car nearby watching your car..

a laptop, and a webcamera with a program that takes snapshots whenever it senses movement would be ideal.

ANY idea why this kid would go through the trouble of doing all of this? is it your car specifically?

PhillysMostWntd · 03-27-2006, 04:25 PM

pkt1213 - yes, i was thinking the same thing.. now to answer everyone's question "how do you turbo a n/a?" well, simple, you wait for someone to screw with your car then nail them with a ridiculous bill

Eldorado - i think i might just wait there one night for him if this nonsense doesnt stop, he has been messing with me and a friend of mine, the two of them got in a fight today so they are gone for a few days... i hope he doesnt mess with my car will all this spare time hes having. i was thinking about sitting in my car waiting for him with a camera... and a tire iron.

so possible damages do you think could have happened as my car ran for maybe 30 ish seconds on something other then gas?

oh.. and be creative.

pkt1213 · 03-27-2006, 04:34 PM

Yeah. Wait to use the tire iron until after he's paid to fix it. Haha.

If you do get evidance that he messed with it and ****ed it up I have a feeling that he'll be driving a pinto while his parents sell his Z28 to pay for your car getting fixed. Well that would have happened to me after my dad beat my ass until I couldn't move.

Make sure you quote them Porsche price for all the parts and then go from there. Haha. I hope you get that prick.

Eldorado · 03-27-2006, 05:02 PM

catching him will be even more satisfying than seeing someone blaze by you on the highway doing a billion mph, and then 5 mins up the road seeing them pulled over..

it's all about karma

PhillysMostWntd · 03-27-2006, 06:09 PM

ya i plan on fixing ever possible thing that can be fixed on my engine, and suspension with genuine porsche factory parts... why go aftermarket or knock-off when your not paying for it right??

im feeling for some M030 suspension and koni yellows all around.

you know, since thats what came with the car to begin with.

maybe some aftermarket parts.. MAF, euro pistons, euro dme.. yeah this could end up being nice.

Bad idea to cheat someone like that. You may get nothing at all. Be realistic.

PhillysMostWntd · 03-27-2006, 07:02 PM

ya thats true but im trying to stay optimistic.

pkt1213 · 04-06-2006, 08:34 AM

Anything come of this?

PhillysMostWntd · 04-06-2006, 05:17 PM

the video was not clear enough, when its at the bottom of the parking lot in the day time he said he couldn't see anything happen to it (i watched it as well, couldnt see anything) and while it was parking in the gated parking lot at night the camera couldnt pick anything up because it was too dark, he said he saw a car pull in but the headlights blinded the camera and made it so you couldnt even see what kind of car it is let alone the license plate.

ive been thinking about what to do for the last few days.

hopefully i get my tank drained tomorrow.

any suggestions on what to do? it still kills me to think that he might get away with this, i think i might take some pics of the remaining egg smears and post them you give you guys a feel of what happened,

on top of everything else, there is a line of big white drops going across my hood (looks like a milk shake) hmm i wonder who it is this time..

this kid just wont stop.

nynor · 04-07-2006, 06:53 AM

i am a huge advocate of violence, in these cases.

pkt1213 · 04-07-2006, 06:55 AM

Do you have a paint ball gun? Did you know they make CS tear gas paint balls. :-)

pokey · 04-07-2006, 02:46 PM

Wheere can you get those?

pkt1213 · 04-07-2006, 02:50 PM

God. I don't remember. I was just thinking when I saw them, if I were more of an ******* I'd buy some and drop a handful into each hopper when I play. Also if I were a celebrity I'd carry some around.

Off the top of my head though I can't think of where I saw em. I'll post it if I find em or remember.

Unless you catch him in the act (on video) or catch him bragging to some of his friends, I doubt you get anything out of this deal. You have a busted up car that you can't properly diagnose because it's not in your driveway. You seriously should have found a way to tow the car to your house weeks ago. I feel for ya, but you gotta get the car out of there while your glass is at least in one piece.

SlowToady · 04-07-2006, 03:50 PM

Exactly what I was thinking, Bryan.

Why didn't you have the car towed home right when you had engine trouble in the parking lot? I'd NEVER let my car sit anywhere, especially if someone was "out to get me".

And ****, if you're so sure it's him, why not just kick his ass and be done with it? From what I've been reading, it doesn't sound like you have a good chance of getting any money out of him, unless he fesses up or tells the whole school about it.

I say get the car towed home, beat his ass something fierce, and fix your car. Sometimes man, **** happens. My car got hit twice, one was a hit and run, and in both instances, I didn't get ****. I got shafted each time. If I EVER find that guy...Point is man, sometimes bad things happen to good people.

Let us know how it turns out.

PhillysMostWntd · 04-08-2006, 11:09 AM

ya reason why i didnt get it towed to my house because he is a small kid, i easily have 70 lbs on him (and in no way am i fat) and i figured he would know what would happen from this.

anyways.. i know my rings are completly chewed up from being so old, every time i pull my plugs for a tune up they have oil all over them from oil blow-by. i just dont know what to do. i got the tank drained, eggs cleaned off, and the tires inflated.

i thought after draining the tank the car would start. it started and idles crappily at 800 maybe for 1 min then died, and now it just wont start. i dont know what the problem is. i dont know where to look, just when im starting it smoke comes from the back of the engine bay and if it does start and run (only did for 1-3 min) it smokes REALLY bad. i have no idea what to do with it know, i didnt have it towed to my house either because i have a 3 hour block autoshop class and i figured id just continue to toy with it there. thats where i fixed the vacuum lines and such before. the day i got my car fixed 2 weeks ago i only drove it maybe 250 feet and it never left that parking lot, it peeves me so bad because it was working again then, then this bastard comes around and puts it back down.

anyways, ive decided on what im going to do, details are not going to be discussed publicly.

for sure its him though, he has admitted to spitting on his window but nothing else, i told the cop all this and you know for certain its him but there just isnt any evidence.

anyways.. this week should be a better one (aside from a non running car)

PhillysMostWntd · 04-18-2006, 03:27 PM

wow what a break through.. k i dont know if your all gonna love this as much as i am, but i have a myspace account (ya i know its kinda lame but they have awesome car forums on there) just looking through because this kids friend has been trying to talk to me, on his website thing there was a whole conversation between him and this kid in west jordan, and bam, he admitted the whole thing i cant copy and paste exactly how it is but ill type for you the thing that will be his down fall:

him talking to his friend (word for word) :

Him: "yo what up man? hey u know that kid that's been ****ing with my car!!!!! well the ****er egged my car this weekend and so what i did to get back at him i went and stole the guys from all his tires then egged the **** out of it!!!! then i went to school and kicked his ass"

now let me explain a few things to get everyone on the same page, my friend's car got egged the same night mine got spit on and my gas tank issue, and him being a little more edgy with his anger he just drove over to his house and egged his car. the next day at school they got in a fight.

my friend knocked him down with the first hit btw. it was quite a sight, this kid is maybe a foot and a half taller then my friend and he went down like a board. it still makes me laugh.

so i printed off the conversation, next to their messages it has a picture of the person and even a date and time the message was wrote.. so im next to certain this will seal the case, i dont know what more evidence is needed other then a confession basically, i mean the pieces all fit right? so hopefully tomorrow i can get some justice and send him a nice little bill.

wow what a day..
