Some f**king scum stole my car from the front of my house. I saw it last 8pm last night July 2nd and it was gone when I went outside at 6am July 3rd.

Its an red AE82 black grille and front bar, 17 inch charcoal wheels, tinted windows on the pasenger side and a big rust patch on the roof, rear passenger 1/4 panel. It has a Pioneer sound system as well.

Tasmainian number plate, ES-9530.

It also has a 20V blacktop, crunchy 3rd gear and loud fuel pump.

If you see it or anything similar please call me 0431 110 112.

Cheers

Adam

Great news! As I was driving back from lunch I glanced down a sidestreet at Rosewater, I saw a red AE82 with black bits. I rolled past again to make sure it was mine and it was. I called a mate to watch it till the boys in blue came past.

The officer dusted it and took a few prints. The f**ken idiots that stole it tore up some plastic trim and stole the deck but left the speakers. It was also involed in a high speed chase near Woodville where my cousin's friend's car got pinched as well.

Engine is still running as before and wheels are still in place. I can't believe I found. I was thinking that I'll never see it again.

All I can say is "Get it insured - fire and theft" so that if it does get stolen, you won't feel like shit.

Thanks to all that hoped for the best!

Cheers

Adam

    • Mount some of these on your dash? https://www.greddy.com/products/16001720  
    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
