The other day after washing my car I returned to my appartment to find my storage cage in the under ground secure car park had been broken into, and all 4 17" Advan RG's were stolen. They also all had new rubber on them :D.

I had them in there as I was going to get them re-rolled after an accident I had with them. Three of them need re-rolling and one of those three is cracked and buckled. I did however find a place which could fix that crack and re-roll them for me and I was looking forward to doing that.

If anyone sees any Gold 17" Advan RG's around for sale could they let me know.

that sucks, but at least they were stolen before you fixed them....would have been worse if you had spent the $$ to get them fixed and then they were stolen...

haha, the thieves probably thought they were getting mint condition mags, they'll get a shock later on :D

Does your bodycorp insurance cover any theft from the carpark?

That was gonna be my qn too as it's kinda on "common property" down there, although on a techincality, it may be considered your property being the apartments storage area.

Being out of sight, there's a fair chance the thief MAY be an associate of resident in your block.

There was a burgular in the apartments next to my work last week.

Followed a car in through rolladoor, disarmed door panel so he didn't get locked in, sprayed paint over camera lenses & broke into the cars in the underground car park.

OMG Mic,

So sorry to hear this seeing as I used to live in the same building and we used to park next to each other.

Their were some guys in my section of the building that used to admire my car and were obviously aware of japanese cars. They were always checking out my car when I pulled up and had talked to me about it a couple of times. They would be the only suspects I could think of and I don't really want to point the finger either. I would do a door knock and flyer drop, I would also suggest you look into my section of the building the second yellow door at the front where the entrance to apartment 24 & 25 are.

My storage container was right next to yours and I stored all my stock parts and 4 x S15 rims with tyres and 4 x S14 rims with tyres and spare tread. This would suggest it would be someone new to the building because if they had been living there previously they would've stolen all my stuff as well.

best bet would be to do the idea Kam said... put a flyer in the window or make those shops aware that stolen property might cross their path... They have to fix them or they're useless to them. Plus selling damaged rims gets you a very little return. At least they wont make money out of this... the pieces of shit that they are

.... they weren't on the car?

How sure of that are you?

Now, let's suppose one of the theives knew a thing or two about cars.

Is it not possible that they saw that one was damaged, and decided to see if they rolled right?

Is it not possible that they decided to do so by trying them on a car?

Is it not possible that they chose the nearest available (i.e. yours)

Is it not possible that they happened to have a tyre iron with them (they had to pry their way intot the secure cage somehow)

Is it not possible that they put the rims on the car, just to make sure that they rolled right, and fit on the car properly?

Therefore, is it not possible that you would, in fact be covered by insurance?

Of course, it's also possible that the rims were never taken off the car, but infact were stolen from the car itself. :unsure:

    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
