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.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
