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.

    • 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.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
