im with zahos...

altho i would probably not have the patience and just bash his face til it caves in and dump in another state out in the wilderness somewhere where is smelly festering little boddy gets devoured by some animals....

i know if i was going to steal a car and some psycho came running out the house with a shotgun id be detered.... go buy a shotgun :D

nark, it is much more satisfying to watch em suffer. At least thet will learn their lesson, and have remorse for their mistakes before they die.

BoOsTeD_RB26: The best thing for you to do now is:

- change the barrels in your locks, all of them as he may have taken a house key as well.

- as mentioned, change the frequency of you remote garage doors

- inform your neighbours. (Also tell neighbours that he has been looking at a few cars in the neighbourhood so that they themselves feel threatened, so that they dont ignore it)

- inform the police, and get a written report (for insurance purposes, so if your car does get knocked off, it will speed things up with your insurance pay out)

setting up a camera can be quite a job, and quite costly. It really pisses me off that we live in a society where we have to watch our backs!!! It only happens in big cities where we dont all know each other! If victims however started to take action against these people, and against those satanic lawyers that defend these people, this wouldn't happen as often. If you dont take care of yourself, who will??? Thats why you teach these f*ckers a good lesson when you catch them, otherwise you will always be hastled!

3 step guide to ridding the world of theives

step 1/ Get a pig farm http://www.whysanity.net/monos/snatch.html

Step 2/ Fish hooks connected to 12VDC

step 3/ Roll of gaffer tape

U do the math :D

Anyhow all crap aside ure neighbour said that he has some stuff stolen right? i think the general behaviour is for these types to scope the area for a day and then hit it one night and move on. If they tried once and failed chances are they wont be back unless they are really stoopid or really determined, which most arent. When my car last got broken into they did the whole street and just stole some crap off my back seat. It was on one of those really stormy windy nights where u hear lots of noises but dont pay attention to them.

Someone suggested this to me a while ago.... It uses the sensor light theory but instead of having the light shine on the car when the sensor goes off, put the light say above your bed so it will wake you up without alerting the thief.... This way you will have the element of surprise on him...

It would take a little bit of effort to setup correctly but once in place would give you a huge advantage over the thief :D

thanks for all the replies people. you've all been very helpful. I'll be making a trip down to dick smiths probably to buy a camera for the garage. im also looking into a PIN code thingo to put in the car....like the STi's have with the Brant system.

what would actually happen though if something happend and say the thief got "hurt"?

coz I have heard of thieves breaking into peoples houses...getting hurt and sueing the owner. how does this work? just a quick Q...sorry to go an bit off topic.

Dont pick up the bat... or the police will charge you worse than the crims.... Just tell the police that they pushed you and you grabbed one of them to not lose ballance then pull them into the garage wall and then when their in shock bash their face up against the wall a few more times... Dont use the floor case you want the pattern of the garage wall there for proff...

Just kidding... Nah i bought a House alarm system... conected to the garage aswell... So when im out or the at work the whole premises is under alarm... Any windows or doors are opened then the alarm goes off... Plus i have 2 big dogs in the back yard.... Their really good if people come door knocking... cause then i let them into the front yard....

those relays are a good idea. also think (if its a professional) starter and fuel pump relays can be bypassed given time. i was thinking about an injector / coil cut relay also. the more independent cut out points (especially if well hidden) it will take ages for a thief to remove the vehcile.

Ive heard about numeric keypad immobilisers available from Jaycar,which stop you starting the car until you have punched in a pin number. apparently these are pretty cheap, too.

this would then work as a second immobiliser - so that even if they have your keys they cant start the car without the pin.

I had one of those keypad in my first car.... (It was a holden) but anyway more to the point. I could by pass that system in about 1 minute....

The keypads are a great idea, except everyone thinks their amobile phone. (idiots) But their easilly bypassed....

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
