Do You Know A Ben Ellis Who Works(ed) For Zurich Financial Services?


Recommended Posts

Make a few fake facebooks and stalk him?

Try find his facebook or just add all of the guys with his name. Might take a few months to finally get his address and stuff

Make sure you fake Facebook has a few friends before you add him as well

WOW.

10/10 for being persistent! But fair to say if anyone here got ripped that much they'd keep looking too.

You have his account no's, phone number, name, face-book, SAU profile, and a photo, and the police "can't do anything"?

Try find his rego and lodge multiple reports of him doing skids, that'll find him in under a week on national news.....

I'd try the cops again, the huge swing towards online shopping in the last 5 years have caused the coppers to become much more internet savvy and aware of problems, it is no longer a fringe thing. I rekon if you take it to them again there might be a better chance it will get dealt with more seriously.

very fitting that his FB profile is that of a dog..

is probably aware of the scrutiny on here and alert to fake FB accounts trying to add him, scammers are pretty careful about who they let into their inner circle. Just bought something of a bloke with only a few posts and no online presence so i have jitters but he offered a local pick up if i wanted so should be ok..fingers crossed.

let us know if u find out where the guy is, u will have plenty of back up if you need, doubt the cops tune will change much or suddenly be useful as chunky lover hopes.

Anyone know this guy? http://www.facebook.com/ben.ellis.393?ref=sgm

His details at the time in 2008 were:

Mob: 0448333444

Acc Name: Ben Ellis

BSB: 302-973

Acc Number: 0013294

Edited by GHOSTrun

looks like the BSB 302973 belongs to: Bank of Western Australia (BWA) or Bankwest, owned by CBA.

Address: 345 George street, Sydney

and an ad of the mobile number for sale (note: not sure if this could be the person, as many telco's like to recycle phone numbers)

good luck

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
