Belgarage Broken In To - 5 Cars Stolen - ***OLD THREAD***


Recommended Posts

dodgey fcks may be the same folk that have my car. now that would be nice. the thing that shits me is the idiots that keep these tossers in business. if people didn't buy hot cars and parts then these wankers wouldn't have 2 cents to rub together and may consider earning their money like everyone else.

hmm i bet stolen parts have never been sold on SAU either. Lets face it we all like a bargain in For Sale. Its sad that it must sometimes be at the expense on an insurance company or even worse an uninsured owner.

DISCLAIMER: The following was blatantly copied and pasted from Performanceforums.com and could be complete and utter bullsh1t. As such, I accept no responsibility for the content of this post or repercussions resulting from it:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

basically

bel hired a private investigator to find the cars

and he found them and the ppl who had them after like a week

but they wanted something like 50k for the cars to be given back

so bel tried to get the pi to get the cars back

then the guy said

sure ill tell u where the cars are

but i want 25k

and they told him to f**k off and thats when they put the 10k reward up

cant remember if the $ figures are right but they are close

so basically bel could of got the cars a long time ago

they took the cars because they knew the owners of bel have a lot of cash and they wanted to blackmail them

the sti and evo 7 were found in a house that was for sale

the real estate agent went into the garage and found the two cars and went wtf

they were stashing them in houses that were empty

evo7 was found with the cf parts off the 9 so the 9 would just be a plain white evo 9 that u wouldnt pick

what else was there hmmm

guys who pinched it are some seriously f**ked up characters

not xxxxx st or anything, but xxxxx st got searched for the cars

they are good with all the xxxxx st guys, probbaly steal cars for them

well thats pretty weird... wouldn't you just be like, sure, we'll pay the 50k... meet us outside horsnby police station so we can swap...

but seriously, the modified car game is weird... someone i know (not very well) had his show cars blown up... he left the country... why would you bother... they're just cars???

It's not the first time that high profile/modded cars have been stolen and then the owner's blackmailed into getting them back...

What a sad state of affairs this scene has degraded to.

well anyone that steals any of my cars can kindly direct their ransom attempts to my insurance company. I can picture how that is going to turn out... possibly more "man on fire" style than "ransom".

well thats pretty weird... wouldn't you just be like, sure, we'll pay the 50k... meet us outside horsnby police station so we can swap...

but seriously, the modified car game is weird... someone i know (not very well) had his show cars blown up... he left the country... why would you bother... they're just cars???

IT is weird, makes me wonder how all these cars that win autosalon and have 100s of thousands spent one them can be affored. I tihnk we all know that its dodgy in the modified world and dangerous

I just cant seehow people can afford it, they must have a real good job or rich parents

I know this is an old thread but were any of these cars recovered? Hi octane are selling a few parts off the tomei R34 on ebay makes me think that some of the cars were recovered.. that or they held onto the stock for a long time!

I know of at least one car that was recovered about 8 weeks after the fact, my ex car the silver STI.

gah who dug this thread up... saw it n went "what? AGAIN?"

LOL, I dug it up.. saw some parts from the R34 tomei car floating around on ebay (from a reputable seller) and was wondering if the car had been recovered.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
