Warning about people with intercoolers

[bangahh]

My cousin got his intercooler stolen in broad daylight.

it was a hybrid 600x300x75, the only thing that was hold the intercooler up was the support bracket at the bottom and the inlet/outlet hoses.

ie 4 bolts..

they also took his BOV, 2 bolts

bleed valve and pod filter..............

Not happy chappy, cant go fishing this weekend

must be pros cause its hard to pop the bonnet with a screwdriver.

[aKTiVE]

Thats ****ed man, But what can you do? There isnt much you can do to stop people from stealing sh1t off your car except an alarm...

Sorry to hear.

[FATGTS-R]

When you think about it nobody would give them a second glance.

If I saw a couple guys with the bonnet up on an import with tools I would just think they were fixing something.

But they would still have the risk of the owner returning. Where was the car parked and where was your cousin?

Is it possible they knew he wasnt going to be coming back for a while? i.e at work?

[bangahh]

he's from QLD, but just on a 3 month transfer to NSW. The took it while he was at work.

he parked it somewhere in parramatta, but i guess they sussed him out cause he had parked there for over two months now with no problems.

[aKTiVE]

heh, parramatta is fscked.

[silver gts-t]

wasnt the cooler supported at the top?

if so the front bar would have to come off

Ehhh who cares bout that. Some f#ck has taken it now. C#%s who steal need to have their balls tied up to a short rope & pushed out of a tree. Although its pretty unlikely i hope some1 seen them & you can get a description out of anyone to report to police.

[geno8r]

The police really need to set up Stings & why not start with Parramatta. I'd love to be a cop just for one day in a Sting waiting for some f#%@ to try & steal stuff from a planted hot car. I'd have no problems using excessive force.

[DJ984]

NO SHIT!?!?!? That's f*%$ed man!!!

geno8r: i like the way you think just pissed myself laughin at your rope to balls and outta tree comment... GOLD!!!

bangahh... not trying to profiteer from someone elses miss-fortune but i have a spare front mount at home i am going to sell if you're interested... (just send me a PM if ya are)...

do you think excessive force would be catching the mother ****er and letting him go a round with my little baby pitty, or would that be going a litttle overboard

What is this world coming to.

hey, most of the time if the cooler is supported from the top you dont have to remove the front bar, you can easily access the bolt and slip the cooler out the bottom of the bar (usually the bars are trimmed so easy to slip it out)

[bangahh]

Cooler support at the top is just another two bolts. Well makes me want to spray my name on cooler just to make it worth less to potential theifs.

well they did take his BOV, POD, Bleed valve from the engine bay.

It sets him back $1000 and he's still paying it off like most of us do and a day looking around Syndney for parts.

well anyways he went and got all the parts today as it happened yesterday.

ohhh yeah, someone also stole his digital camera from this Pram while shopping in Liverpool Westfields also with his kids.

so he's got a string of bad luck at the moment.....

Lol, why not, what ever works

I'd love Australia to have a law like they have over in Egypt.

The Government says: "You steal; we cut off your finger. We catching you steeling again; we cut off your hand"

You raise the punishment enough I guarantee you'll get any message through.

What is this world coming to.

Indeed

I've just grabbed the latest Autosalon magazine & there’s great story, a near ‘possible’ death experience of criminals trying to steal this guys highly modified GTR. Its a top read, had my heart pumping *seeing it was actually real & not a movie* The event itself of course wasn’t great but the story was very well told.

thats f%$^ed my skyline is off the road at the moment (incident with my mates tow bar) and the other day i came home and the front bumper was ripped right off the left hand side. good thing i have 2 rottwielers other wise they probly would have got my standard cooler

[BADHAB|T]

Is the car an R32? If so, the bonnet is very very easy to pop from the outside, no tools needed.

[bangahh]

standard intercooler is a beach to take off..... you have to take the front bar off.

the car was a 4 door r33 gtst with a body kit.

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

F%@$%&%@#$

can we start a petition about that man, sounds good. I didn't think middle eastern countries had much going for them in that respect, but hey I like that law man.

Although it should go something to the tune of punishments in the order of offences

first time, prison instantly, no good behavior shite here

Second time, Beating from the person you stole from

Third time, Appendiges being cut off

Well makes me want to spray my name on cooler just to make it worth less to potential theifs.

That's not a bad idea actually. Maybe not on the front, but on the back, so it's easily identified. Perhaps ingrave your end tanks with you name and address? Perhaps everyone can put SAU and their username on their cooler so that if anyone hears or sees anything, they can let that person know.

Did the car have an alarm? I can't imagine parking my Skyline in a dodgy area if it didn't have an alarm.
