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:

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
