I doubt you will see it again it took 5 years for my brothers gtst to turn up and in ended up in Adelaide when some poor bugger tried to register it. Police called my bro and he called insurance who didn't care anymore and I'm sure it wasn't the guy trying to register its fault but buyer beware and he clearly didn't do his checks and it still amuses me the insurance company had no interest in recovering it even though they had paid the policy out. Moral to story, thieves steak car wait a few years then they can own it lol!

everyone car was found half stripped in ambervale - coppers said they are going to tow it back and give me a call back in a couple of days

Good result in the end mate hopefully nothing is damaged too much!!

How do you feel??

so close to ur home yet so far.. hopefully the cops found the people red handed with the car as it was.

unfortunately for you being half stripped the cost to replace it all may outweigh the policy and the car ends up written off :(

Because your not going to get new things like engines and seats etc so really I wouldn't know if id want it back

Yes, can you tell us more as news filters through please?

And for the sake of other SAUers here, is there anything you would have done differently to protect her?

I know the following is 'after the horse has bolted' but SAU Execs have organised a Tech Night in November to be held at Carbon Car Systems.

Found at a house - coppers had a search warrant for the place, tow it back to some police facility for forensics

Will keep you guys updated as news comes in my dads going to go and see if he can inspect it today and sus out the damage.

Invest in GPS tracking / more of a premium alarm...

That is great they found it! Hope the missing parts haven't gone far.

In regards to Terrys post:

Any car can be stolen, you can only slow them down unfortunately. Alarm, tracker, club lock, etc. (This means installed properly)

However (sorry) parking a performance car at a train station is asking for trouble. Not to mention Campbelltown is in the top 10 suburbs for theft...

Not having a go just saying probably not best idea. I live 10 min from a suburb with a higher theft rate :( so I am pretty paranoid about where I leave her and not to have any regular patterns.

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.  
    • Dashcams Australia (13/05/25) captured JDMHSE (Vic plate) being a right tosser. 
    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
