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.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
