Hey guys

Just received news that my friend's silver 1996 Mazda RX-7 FD3S twin turbo has been stolen. It was parked at his house in Sunshine with a full tank of gas. Car has been stolen for a couple of hours now and could be anywhere. If anyone has seen this car or knows anything about it PLEASE contact me on 0432 454 695 or call the police. Any help it greatly appreciated. Please note this is not an insurance job as there only 3rd party on the car. Details are in the link below. PLEASE NOTE car is no longer on Work Meisters but are on standard 5-spoke rims sprayed black.

Sorry to hear about your friend's car. I'm sure it'll turn up, I know that'd turn my head if I saw it....especially in Sunshine. Someone will know where it is.

If it has an E-Tag in it or a built in GPS they might be able to use that.

Hope it turns up soon.

Just got back from my friend's place. Guy is shattered, it was hard enough for him to post the car up for sale, but to part with the car like this just sucks; and is willing to reward $1000 for any information or sighting of the car that leads to the recovery of the car. Please keep an eye out for parts for sale as I believe the car has been stolen solely for parts. Many of these parts are not so common. Any help is greatly appreciated. Real shame when others just can't simply appreciate the work and effort others has put into their cars and go running away with someone's pride and joy.

ahh shit Tony's? i saw him at the gym during the week. So farked my old white R33 that i sold to my cousin got stolen in footscray not too long ago as well. I'll keep an eye out too man. Think we all need to get them GPS monitoring alarms or something :S

Spotted a silver RX-7 south east Melbourne in Keysborough near Parkmore just before (~6:50pm) doubt it's the same one but had black rims. Exhaust wasn't that loud, well at least not loud enough to hear over mine. Heading south towards Greens Rd or Dandenong Bypass.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
