Friends Car, Jacked At Chipping Norton And Bashed..


Recommended Posts

Posting this on behalf of my friend, as her bf got jacked last long weekend (APEC holiday).

I only just found out today.. Otherwise would have posted ealier. Shes so upset and angry.. as anyone would .. anyways

Heres the Story:

He is in the process of selling his Honda Integra Type R 2000 model and was met by a guy posing as an interested buyer. They met at Warwick Farm (syd) and after a pretty long conversation the guy asks to take it for a test drive. The owner jumps into the passenger seat and they take off.

After driving for 5 mins he mentions to the owner that a mechanic friend of his wants to also come along for the test drive, they turn the corner and he starts slowing the car down. As he comes to a stop 2 hooded guys run and open the passenger car door and start smashing the owner of the car in the face with a metal baseball bat. They then pull him out of the car and continue to hit him a few more times, before all jumping in and taking off with his car.

The owner of the car is left with pretty nasty injuries. They hit him so hard in the face they knocked his teeth out. He was hospitalised but is ok now.

The guy that orchestrated the robbery is around 175cm tall, asian decent and has an eyebrow ring. There are some pics of the car they stole attached. So if anyone see's the parts start popping up Im sure the owner Michael would really appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks for your help

Pics in a sec..

Cheers

Dammit man, these people are f**king dogs. It makes me so angry to hear about this. Poor fella :nyaanyaa:

Karma works in wonderful ways though... I hope the f**ker cuts himself while dismantling the car and get some form of rare tetanus lock jaw that breaks all of his teeth too!

Pics are all up now..

Sad thing is, the guy who stole the car full sounded nice on the phone and in person.. Asked legit questions about the car etc etc..

sigh..

So guys please keep an eye out on parts etc..

Could someone maybe post this in honda forums? lol

^ he did have someone..

But he wanted to go for a drive.. guessing due to being two doors, his friend stayed back..

like i said, my friend who saw him(guy who stole the car) looked fine, normal, sounded sweet etc etc hahahha..

Anyways what has happened has happened..

Just keep an eye out please!!

edit: yea ke kept calling from a private number.. Hope he just made his mobile private so it can still be tracked and didnt use public telephone!!

Sad to hear this.

Worse part is that everything appears legit up until the last seconds...

Even if you had someone with you, they'd probably get the shit beaten out of them too.

Any ideas on how to stop this from happening?

Maybe take the guys license?

if i were to sell my car

no one would drive it a part from me (that is just for insurance reasons mate)

pick your area for the drive

get your largest/ugliest mates to drive behind you

I actually had to meet the bloke who sold me the car out the front of the local cop shop

any other cars involved

how did he turn up to your mates place, walking?

siddr20, post it up on ozhonda... I've sent my mate who's the owner a msg asking him to post up a link to this thread, but you might be better off posting direct maybe.

* Inspection date organized

* Leave the car for sale at home / workshop / another location

* Arrange to meet buyer in public location (servo, Maccas)

* Ask to check ID and take down details for security

* If it looks legit, take buyer to location where car is kept

* If it doesn't look legit, walk away

I'd personally never be driving my car during an inspection to the buyer's directions... if they got somewhere to go, they can go in their own time.

I'd also never be taking my car to their prescribed location... that's just like walking into the lion's den.

ok.. stealing a car is one thing.. but the fact that this guy went to a considerable effort to seriously injure this guy (well beyond what would have been required to steal the car) is what shocks me.

I'm sooooo glad your mate got out alive......I imagine if he tried to fight back, he would have ended up much MUCH worse off :thumbsup::(

funkymonkey- Thank you very much!! whats the link to ozhonda? Guess i will sign up

Satanic- Its when hearing these situations/stories you then get educated. I have read these types of stories plenty of times, so i know what to do when it comes to selling a car.

But unfortunately some people dont think about these things..

I have actually met the owner of that honda once.. Very nice guy and its pretty built for his size.. But when you have three guys, with say baseball bats etc.. not much you can really do..

I know his gf well.. she works with me etc.. shes was so upset and angry!!

He seems to be recovering fine now.. few fake teeths etc :thumbsup:

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
