I consider mysely very lucky, at 6pm on sunday the police came round and gave me the good news!

my car was recovered.

Minus

Intercooler, BOV, boost guage, boost controller, Infact about 15 items missing all adding up to roughly $3000

Plus there is some minor damage.

but its all repairable.

Nedless to say the car is getting fitted with sattalite tracking, the worlds biggest alarm system and there is now a security camera in my carport. and i am taking the ECU out of the car every single time i am not in it.

they didnt catch the little theives who stole it but they were seen dumping the car and they were about 14-15 years old.

Nic lives in the ghetto that's why.

Nic - give us a buzz I've been workin on some tricks when it comes to security.. been fully thinkin bout it since your car got taken.

Also before you run out and grab a quik trac or whatever talk to me also :)

Good to hear it's back tho. May as well strip the engine and go the rb30 eh ? :)

Where was it found? Great to hear you got it back

it was found less than 1 km from where it was stolen, but they put 100 ks on it.

yeah they stole my kik ass stereo but get this

the little fu#kers stole the head unit but not the loom and destroyed the dash in the process. so now the stereo is worthless to them and they ruined the dash.

They also took my GRID electronic boost controller that was worth $800+ but they didnt take the solonoid that controlls boost!

they got in by bending out the rear door frame rendering the door fuc#ed.

the engine is fine did a leakdown test and a compression test and its ok. the clutch is ruined. but everything else mechanical is fine.

i will get it back on the road and it will be just like it was. but its going to take time and money.

From now on it has hidden security cameras on it, 120DB alarm, AND NO ECU!

Good to hear you have it back mate!!!

I have put a decend alarm in mine and two nice little screamers, 1 under the dash, 1 in the boot 140db rated I think so the little F***ers will get a nose bleed before they get anything out of my car

again nice to see you got it back

ADRNLN

some fusion job, around 500 bucks installed. black loom 4pt imobiliser, shokc sensors. extra 2 screamers in the cabin hidden under the dash, got an extra pin switch too for the bonnet (bonnet pins so no latch). i used to install car audio and if they can take the pain inside the car while they **** around then then they semi deserve it, at least i know it will cause some pain ahhah

insurance are giving me money back too, not sure how much though yet

another idea i played with in my last car that works good that i might do to the ceffy is hide a heap of cheap ass jaycar strobe lights through it, worked for my last car.

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
