Hey guys, copied this from evoOz forums.

Keep on the lookout if you guys can.

Seems like too many evo's have been taken in the last couple of months.

Inb4 waiting for a moiteeee

So woke up this morning, no work so just stayed indoors relaxing. Decide to go to the gym at 2pm and that's when I realised my car wasn't where I had left it last night. Car was taken between the hours of 12am and 5am.

Have filed a report with the police and they are now on the lookout.

Seems to me like a professional job as there wasn't any glass left behind where the car was parked. Car is listed as for sale also, but to date, have only given my address to one guy and he never came to view to car (this was a month ago) so don't know if that may be a possible lead or not.

Anyway, hopefully it turns up but I'll post some details below and hopefully someone may have seen it.


- White 2001 Evo VII
- Rego: BCM 81X
- Located within the Liverpool area
- Evo 8 front
- Evo 9 rear
- Rays Ralliart Evolution R01 wheels in gunmetal
- Stock height

Im reading more and more about cars getting knocked off....

Someone on JDMST had their S15 stolen from DULWICH HILL....and mentioned this

"hi guys so i spread the word around today and a friend of a friend spotted it driving on canterbury rd near supercheap auto leaving lakemba possibly toward bankstown, my mate said he was admiring the car at a red light, he confirmed the wheels, bodykit and the first two word on the number plate".

Also....I had a mate of mine recently had his Evo V stolen from the St.George area...

So if that lead was on JDMST correct and the s15 was indeed heading to Bankstown...then given your theft occured in Liverpool it is interesting to note that these 3 locations are all

  • 17-20 minutes from Bankstown.

So with the fact they all seem to be professional thefts I suspect there is a chop shop operating somewhere (perhaps Bankstown) ..

I hate to bust bubbles, but.....

Unfortunately, most low lives now steal cars to export o/s. Why do you think no parts turn up for sale in the usual places,or empty/burnt out shells of stolen HiPo Jap cars are never found?

Whether they dismantle afew, say, 10 makes of cars into 5 different containers & mix everything up, Oz export don't usually worry too much about the origins of the parts (they aren't going to extensively research every carparts history for export, just like they don't do for import). They aren't too concerned about whether stolen parts are involved or not.

The Middle East is a haven for Jap stuff at a higher profit than here...........

Forgot to mention this isn't my evo, mines still safe in the garage.

It was just copied from a thread on evo oz, as it isn't a public forum, I though it would be a good idea posting it here to get the word around quickly.

Not sure if the dude mentioned if he parked on the driveway or street, but as it was taken overnight I'd assume it was park in the drive way.

Judging from the first photo the fence doesn't look like it'll hold off any thieves let alone a professional one.

EDIT: Updated on the evoOz forums

Car was found burnt this morning at 3.30am at the boat ramps at Henry Lawson Drive, Revesby. Apparently that's where majority of cars are burnt so in future if anyone's car gets stolen, probably camp out there and watch for suss activity. Hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else though.

All my work gear and some paperwork were dumped in a courtyard though, along with a smashed phone. Phone definitely isn't mine so hopefully it will lead to someone. Gear was dumped in Yagoona, not far away from where the car was found so to those living out that way, I'd take extra steps to protect your car.

Will update when I find out more so everyone is aware about stolen vehicle activities.

Yep, cars being stolen for this reason has happened in the past... and now it seems like its happening all over again...

Heres an interesting article worth reading

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
