CAR HAS BEEN FOUND IN ALBANY!

stereo taken out and windows all smashed, was left along the side of the road and he'll be going to collect it within the next few days

thanks for all the help guys, thank god it's been found

and before any questions are asked... found by who? i wasn't told lol just reading my sms

Aw man thats f**king awesome!! I guess whoever stole it realised how far over they were! Question: How are they getting back to Perth lol?

Anyway, thats such good news, real happy for you man, the gem in WA's crown has been found. Sucks about the radio and windows, but atleast it is in one piece. Details!?

Just got back from Albany 2 weeks ago, the guy probably didnt know how to cope with all the round-abouts and wanted out lol.

Best of luck fixing the car Kelvin, and selling it if youre still going down that path... Make sure forensics check out the car, see if the thief left any evidence in there

Glad its been found mate, its really good to see a club pull together like this congrats everyone, oh and kelvin, id love a ride in it when you get it back mate, or at least just stare at it a little lol.

but yeah stoked.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates as my laptop was stolen as well so it's pretty hard coming onto the forums.

Anyway, the good news is that it's been found!! Received a call from the police at Albany police station to notify me that they've found my car. It was found at the side of some road in Albany. Asked about the condition and the cop told me it was "not too bad", just that the windows and stereo was taken out, maybe the electronic stuff as well. Will call them first thing in the morning tmr to find out the exact condition as well as arrange to bring it back to Perth where it belongs :laugh:

Spoken to Kelvin, have let him know i spotted it at 11am yesterday morning while leaving albany heading home to perth.

Have also posted up on AlbanyModifiers to help kelvin out, someone should hopefully spot it, a very nice car nothing like it in albany.

fingers crossed for ya mate, chris

Big thx to chris who spotted my car along albany hwy which might have lead to the discovery of my car. Also to all those who had helped me spread the word in a matter of hours! Really touched to see the outpour of support from the car enthusiast community here in WA.

Big thanks once again to everyone. I will update you all on the condition once I have seen it in person. Also, could anyone please update the other car forums as well (ie perthwrx, silviawa, perthrotary, wahonda and others that I may have left out as I don't have an account with them) as I don't want to be chased and stabbed driving that car back!! haha

Anyway I will be looking to install a keypad alarm as well as a GPS tracking unit once I have it back and if anyone has any contacts for that pls let me know. Thanks!!

Cheers,

Kelvin

Kelvin,

Great news.

Mate get in touch with Nav (Onthehunt)

he has my POC of keypad and Sat tracking.

Thanks to all the SAU / Other Car Clubs involved that helped out during this event.

Makes me happy to know that guys will stick together.

Mike

Oh thats freakin awesome! I was scared they were just going to hide it in a garage and strip it to its bones!!!

Hopefully theyve done minimal damage. And hopefully the f***ers are caught...and shot.

Good luck with seeing it, i'm hoping for minimal damage for you!!!

Hey, Kelvin. Only just seen this, as I have not been on the forums much lately. Glad it has been found and I hope there is not too much hassle in getting it back up here and getting it fixed. So sorry to see it has happened to you - everyone has said such a nice car, but such a great guy too! Life ain't fair, at times.

GPS Alarm - the type that phones you when things are awry - I know that Danny at Imports 101 can get them fitted ... ... .... ... which I might just be doing very soon!

It sounds like the back of the truck to a good workshop fior a thorough check is the go. They sound like they were f#ckwits, but check they did not put sugar in the tank or any crap in the engine oil. If the Power FC is gone, I have the factory ECU from mine, which you could borrow, if that helps at all.

All the best, mate.

Cheers.

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
