When I was at the scene looking at my car, some kid that lives on the street told me that my car was used to steal another Stagea just around the corner at the TAFE... He also told me the owner of the other one, which is a black Stagea, got the footage of the theft on his camera phone.

If anyone knows who this other owner is, or if you are him, get in contact with me ASAP!

My sincere condolances man. I looked at those pics and imagined what it'd be like if it happened to me, I know i'd be beside myself and probably wanting to kill someone/thing. Hopefully insurance will give u the paperwork asap. Really bites tho, looked like a gorgeous vehicle. I hope the bastards get testicular cancer.

i sure can does your insurer require you to have a black wire alarm? do you want one with a paging device?

Hey Steve. Can you grab me a quote from Ric? Something decent enough to keep shady pricks out of my car :)

Thanks mate

just a random silly idea could start a posy looking for random thieves and go hurting them :P as i said random and silly and those that know me know i dont mean that :P

I used to live in Oakden. when I lived with my parents.

Had my 33 at the time broken into.

I was friends with the owner of four brother imports,. He lived up the road. his 34 was broken into plenty of times. He finally caught the guy. basically ran him over. Anyway this FBI guy still lives there and he knows where abouts this oakden thief lives. May not be the guy your after, so I should be carefull. But if you want anymore info PM me.

careful what you wish for man i know i guy just has just had chemotherapy and has possibly had one or both testicles removed

...I hope the bastards get testicular cancer.

Well id prefer black wire, harder to disable the alarm. And can you get me a price for paging and non-paging? Thankyou Steven.

f**kin shame to come on here and read about someones pride and joy being torched.

best of luck with the insurance mate, lookin forward to seeing you posting about the purchase of a new stag :P

And thats why I'm wishing it against some asshole who take a giant shit against a guys life. And not wishing it against the pope. So sorry for your friend, but its totally irrelevant.

  • 4 weeks later...

A quick update for all.

I will be purchasing my new Stagea some time next week, worst case maybe the week after. I am just waiting on the cheque from the insurance company now.

It will be a 2000 Series 2 RS4, factory manual, stock other than exhaust and in car entertainment, and CAR SECURITY!!!!!!!

I will post pics when I get the car.

Also, I went to look at the wreck at Pickles as I have purchased it back, and I saw a burnt out black series 2.... I really hope it wasn't the one that was stolen using my car.

Condolences to the owner if it was.

I'm glad the insurance company came through for you. This time, don't park it in a shopping centre carpark until after u got a $1000 alarm fitted :)

-D

good to hear mmmm manual very rare :) good luck with this one and if for any reason you dont like the alarm

hit up Ric at Auto Perfection does SAU discount and or John from Marvey Tech both do great work and i have used both as many of us

I'm glad things worked out for you, even though I haven't been following topic from beginning.

Just saw pics on previous page and I can't believe there are people sick enough to do such thing.

Next week I'll get Viper 5900 2-way alarm installed in my R32 (to replace cheaper alarm that car had when I bought it). According to what I heard it's the best 2-way alarm on world. Costs $800, but I got it for $290 from states via ebay (+approx $350 to get it professionally installed). If you're not too confident in the alarm the new car comes with, I recommend Viper 5900 - only heard good things about it. You can get it installed at Ang's audio shop or Marvey Tech.

Ezi track looks good, if you can afford it, although unlike other GPS tracking systems there's no ongoing fees, so over time it's quite good value.

Just a quick tip, if you leave your car in a dodgy area as well as getting a good alarm installed remove the fuel pump fuse or something along those lines its simple and 99% of thieves will over look it.

Ive heard of people doing this, coming back to find a smashed window and broken ignition but their car still there. Personally I do it when I leave my car in dodgy suburbs even for a few minutes, takes 30 seconds at most.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
