Stolen Stagea Rs4!

[BooDah]

Done and done.

I hope it is recovered soon, and in one piece!

I didn't have it long, but for the short time I did, I loved the car!!!!!!!

[jasevr4]

do we no he was away forsure tho?? how could we get it back coz ud have to b stupid to go driving in a stolen car round adelaide liek 100%... if i were u id post up in the stop the stagea section aswell...

i'm on this f**king forum

work full time for a living, was with about 6-7 people mountain biking at the time that i don't really know at all but i could get them to back me up if need be.. not to mention how would i know that he was going to park it at marion the next morning?

i was stunned when i read that it was stolen.

[Nightcrawler]

yeah cmon guys - the ex-owner has come on here and explained he is legit.

The car was stolen without an alarm or club lock, from one of the stolen car hot spots of Adelaide. You are pretty much begging to have your car stolen if you have no alarm at Marion, Tea Tree Plaza, Hollywood Plaza, Elizabeth City Centre, Colonnaides etc etc

Information that would have been useful to me sooner lol

I honestly was unaware that it was a hot spot. I might just be living under a rock, but I haven't heard anything about cars being stolen from Marion.

[Madaz]

maybe a hotspot sticky maybe a get out from under your rock sticky too

[Murry33]

damn assholes, when you find who did it, teach them a painful lesson! hope ya find it soon!

i'm sure his wasn't the only car without an alarm in that carpark, bastards just decided to take his instead of something else

But then if the thieves are just joy riding and crashes the car - the insurance assessor goes over it finds out theres no alarm, he gets charged with fraud - the insurance is null and voided and he is stuck with no insurance and a f**ked Stagea.

say the owner told him that it had an alarm maybe? hadnt had the car long, long enough to realise the previous owner was talking shit?

anyways, farkin hot car, will definately be able to identify it if i see it round my area.

[heslo]

I'd be careful talking about fraudulent activities here on the forum... not suggesting that you do lie, but if you do I'd definately make sure that you don't leave any evidence that could see you land in the shit... ie. this thread

[Iron Chef]

lol @ people trying to pin it on Jase

It's a manual conversion too guys, in case any of you hear of parts getting around the place - let's hope it doesn't come to that.

[skylineguy19]

man i remember the days you didnt need an alarm, i worked at TTP for a year and a half, parked my 31 there everyday and it didnt have an alarm then, never got touched, these days i dont reckon i could leave it there 3 hours before something would happen to it if it still didnt have an alarm.

Best of luck getting the car back in one piece mate.

People..... another chance for you all to realise, alarms, clublocks, kill switches....use them all!

[jasevr4]

As Kristian said, it's a manual conversion..Centre console is an Auto one that has been modified to fit the handbrake and gear shifter with what is like carbon fibre print contact on it. Has a Razo CF/alloy gear knob, factory optioned Momo steering wheel on it too. Tyres are Hankooks. Bonnet has a few spots of dark red paint on it. No rear wing on it.

On the top of the roof at the back there are two marks where adhesive is/was for the aerials. They got ripped off during compliance and a tiny bit of paint is missing, and some of the adhesive is still stuck on there. Obviously not noticeable if the car if driving, but if it's stationary, it would probably be obvious enough..

ok this has really woken me up to what happens here in adelaide in reagards to car thefts.

i have a clublock, and alarm, but no kill switch, yet.

i want to take to fuel pump fuse out before work, but cant read the fuse box cover, coz its in jap.

which one is it?

[Madaz]

^^ hit the search button craig put in r33 fuse box it wont be long and you will find the pdf thats available

[Oosh]

Sure it'll slow them down a little, but it doesn't take very long to swap a fuse back over, a good quality alarm with multi-point immobiliser; insurance; and being careful when/where you park it are all you can do. Shit if they really want your car it'll end up on the back of a tilt-tray and there's nothing you can do to stop that.

[Nightcrawler]

^^^ very true Ash .... the main benefit of an alarm is that they will target another car instead of yours, as yours is too much trouble. Hence why I have a big blue flashing "Viper" thingo on my dash - yes in some ways it is bad to reveal your alarm brand to potential thieves, but even the dumbest thief couldn't miss the big blue flashing sign and the bright blue led next to the steering wheel. If they put in the 'too hard' basket and move on to the next car, then its job is done. Even if they had a go at my car, it would be a bitch for them to figure out the 3 immobilisation points, 2 kill switches and battery backup siren (not to mention the 4 piezo sirens I have hidden around the car that make your ears bleed if you are in the car and the alarm is sounding).

But like Ash said, if they really want it and have enough time without being disturbed, they can steal any car. Which is important where and when you leave it unattended. Sad to say, but this is the world we live in.

Unfortunately too the old protection that Stags used to offer (being station wagon sleepers) seems to have worn off, as it would seem the crooks have figured out how cool/fast these cars are and have started stealing them.

nobody cares abouit alarms going off either i used to have a towing business once i had to pick up a car that had broken down in a shopping centre backed the truck up and dragged it up onto the tray i did not have the keys and the alarm started screaming and i could not shut it up.

had the car on the back of the truck with the alarm screaming it's head off driving down main north road pulled up at lights next to police car and they didnt give a shit in fact nobody did i drove it clear across town to the dealer by that time the battery was going flat and they alarm was sounding sick .

the whole journey took about 45 mins i had a bloody head ache by time i dropped it off tho lol

[JDM032]

thats sucks man

i will keep an eye out but ur chances are slim now

hope the insurance company is nice to ya.

[Trav33]

Shit if they really want your car it'll end up on the back of a tilt-tray and there's nothing you can do to stop that.

I'm about to buy one of those GPS GSM Modules, from the GroupBuy on this forum. If the alarm goes off, it sends an sms to your mobile. You can then sms back, and get the GPS co-ordinates of your car. So even if it is on a truck, you'll be able to find it. The module is small enough to hide anywhere, and even if the power is disconnected, it has a backup battery.

[Tangles]

hmmm, dang man !

time for a hidden kill switch to be installed inside my stagea I reckon

[mid life crisis]

you havent been shopping for spare parts have ya tangles you look like a shady charater
