My god that sucks to hear! So lucky they didn't take the car. Assuming the keys weren't laying around anywhere? Most common way to steal a car, break into the house and take the keys.

no, I had the keys with me so it was going anywhere unless they decided to tow truck it out of there.

Shit man, sorry to hear about all your stuff. atleast the cars ok, were you keeping it at your house?

yeah the car was just sitting right there. they had to walk by it to get in the door.

Sorry to hear this.

Don't know if you would want the toilet paper back but :sick: there might be a bit more than they took with it.

and yeah definately get a new tooth brush.

Sucks because if you were just at the shops chances are they would have still been there when you got back. Walked in the garage and been like, woooo what an awesome car!!!!!!! Then just sat there and admired it for a couple of days. You would have caught them and kick shit out of them, then handed them to the cops and would have still had everything. :whoops:

Ok well i would have been there admiring the car. Not that I would break into someones house :dry:

hope all goes better for you mate. Top car :)

alex, it happened not too long after I left from the looks of it, maybe a couple of weeks after. I bought a new toothbrush while I was gone, so that's all sorted now. I had a friend bring me some toilet paper the first day I got back, but now I have my own again, so it's starting to feel like home. The same friend with the toilet paper also had a spare 46 plasma TV that he let me borrow. It's pretty sweet because my old one was way smaller, haha. Anyway, I got the rims put on today, and I got verrrrry carried away with the pictures. the last one in this set is a stitch of 320 pictures. That's why it has the shallow depth of field that you see. instead of using a wide angle lens and just snapping the shot, i used a medium telephoto lens and took pictures of small portions of the entire image while turning of autofocus, so that only the front of the car is in sharp clarity. the actual size of the photo is 28 megapixels, so it's ripe for a billboard somewhere in the world.

Those wheels suit it perfectly, but what I'm most impressed with is that last photo! Did you move the tripod around, or just move the camera? Cos thats awesome!!

I used a 50mm lens at f/1.8. White Balance- cloudy, and small JPEG setting. I was about 5 feet away from the front of the car and just systematically went from top left corner and zig-zagged all they way to bottom right. took about 300 photos and merged them all together with CS5. 300 might be overkill, but generally the more the better for the computer to match different pieces and give you one nice photo.

    • You won't make it out of your driveway. Both your rear wheels will go in whichever direction they feel. Your Hicas rack or a lockout bar is required to keep your wheels straight. 
    • Updating results.  Using ATR45SS-0 model VS UHF57-900. Those two are very different turbos, different wheels sets with different wheel hub profiles but yet with almost identical result. I’m intrigued with both turbos performance. ATR45SS-0 was a 61mm turbo first developed in May 2020, UHF57-900 was a 62mm turbo developed in March 2024 as a powered up alternative of a G30-900. On paper ATR45SS-0 maxed at 563rwkws, while UHF57-900 maxed at 568rwkws. ATR45SS was slightly more responsive with slightly better power band through the mid range.  Road driving ability, ATR45SS-0 had better throttle response, felt more robust under throttle, as it wakes up earlier. I think G series wheel hub design made it to have higher inertia under light throttle. Doing bit more prototype work in the next few weeks, will update result when its back on dyno again. ATR45SS0 Blue, UHF57-900 Red Chequered tuner's Dynapack hub dyno, E85 fuel. Mod list is in video below video_20240604_114214.mp4    
    • Did you run the power cables for the mac valve to the other side of the car near the fusebox? Utilizing the stock boost controller cables? or did you run new ones?
    • Hey I have a potentially stupid HICAS question 🤣 I'm currently doing a full hicas delete, Power steering pump modified to non hicas, all lines removed from the car along with all electronics. My stupid question is - Do I need a lock out bar? is there any reason why I cant just remove everything from the rear end? I already have a lock out bar but thinking to save a few extra grams I could also get rid of the arms and tie rods as well and just run it with nothing in its place? or would it have a negative effect on handling?
