to post a couple of updates

car was seen again on thursday (by me) and followed for a good 40mins. police were informed and caught up with the car. it had been involved in a high speed chase / armed hold up(s) about a month or so back, and when i saw it, it had just been picked up from the impound yard. a few things happened and the car was let go

tyson had a phonecall this arvo to inform him the car was in an impound lot and we're heading up tomorrow morning to pick it up :)

Good to hear that the car hasn't been torched. If the car in question is the car from the pic off facebook that posted up matty, then it doesn't look too bad to be honest

that is the one krishy

its safely back in his possession as we speak

was up at 3:30am to drive up to Port Pirie to retrieve the car. Theres a few things not exactly perfect with the car, but it is intact overall. Apparently the same guy from the Advertiser that interviewed him after the theft (and police bungles thereafter) is going into his work tomorrow and interviewing him again for another article, so stay tuned :)

long story behind it all, apparently the "rebirth" was that good the numbers checked out to the guy they pulled over....and didnt look at the chassis number stamped in the firewall next to the plate that would more than likely have been completely different

im surprised in your description of their roadside "looksie" that it didnt even get defected

you're not wrong

quick copy paste from kev

2 months of agony to be exact. and yes i havent seen him this happy since it was unlawfully taken.

HUGE thanks to Matty T for the 3.30am trip to port pirie this morning (about 4 hours out of adelaide for the interstaters) to pick her up. I've been awake since 10am saturday, completely ****ed, sick as a dog but it was totally worth it to see the smile on my best mate's face when we drove into the impound lot.

Also everyone's support and reports leading up to the seizure of the car from the police. Every step of it bought us closer to recovering it.

She needs a bit of TLC but Tys is keen to keep her and bring back the former glory. A good result but an unfortunate delay from police action, there will be another article in The Advertiser in a day or two.

Most of it is still there, the entire stereo system was stripped out but not much else seems to be missing. also the starter motor is completely ****ed and it has to be push started but it still runs.

as for the insurance, yes he had insurance. it'll now be assessed for whats missing / damaged and money will also be claimed for this through victims of crime

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
