Guys please be on a lookout for my friends car, a dark grey GTS-T.

Number Plates: HUM-61E

The car was taken from Lindfield station sometime between 7am and 5pm today (2/6/03).

The car is as I said Dark Grey, Apexi N1 exhaust, has a Blitz BOV, and the wheels are 16" "Stern" brand wheels which are 5 spoke with studs on the outside.

Yeh guys my friend lives in Lindfield. He's parked on the street heaps of times not a problem. In fact has parked at station heaps of times not a problem.

But I guess you don't know until it actually gets stolen.

Not sure which side it was parked ... I'm guessing where everyone parks all day to go to work via train?

Overnight parking is safer than all-day parking at a train station on a weekday. 99% of the people parked at a train station will not be back until well after 3pm. So the thief gets in nice and early - say, half hour after the car is parked (that way the owner is almost certainly on a train into the city). He then has 6 hours or more to work on any security device the car has. Not that he needs that much time. My solution is to not take public transport anymore. I ride a motorcycle to work.

If your car is parked somewhere overnight or on a weekend, the owner's arrival is much less predictable, therefore your car is generally safer (unless the thief has been tracking your movements and knows where you'll be at specific times).

Fark...it really sucks to hear that. Hope it shows up.

Im still looking for my R32. Well, not really, insurance company paid me. But still, no sign of it for almost 10 months now. Like it completely disappeared off the face of the earth. Would love to see it again...

Ill keep an eye out as well.

    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
