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.

she must have stuffed up somewhere, because look at her left arm, its dislocated and facing backwards!!!!!1111112, australia says no to violence istdercollen

you're damn right.. perfection is a must! haha, no I guess she is just double jointed.

wait a sec, just re-read your earlier post. you say they stole your food and toilet paper? i hope you track down atleast some of your stuff. do you know how long it happened before you came back from your trip?

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.

That last shot is AWESOME! You realy do takesome good pictures dude.

Now all you have to do is get your extremely telented girlfriend to ink those wheels up like the rest of the car, blast em with a coat of clear and it'll look mint!

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.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
