I will admit to looking over my shoulder when leaving my car parked at work today... That's all I'd need

...with a sign on the inside of your window that says, "This car is protected by my pet snake 3 days a week - guess which day!"

that's silly. Of course you do.

The exact same kind! Although perhaps not mp3...somethi boring and unremarkable. Like white for example :) works for me!

that is just unbelievable... absolute scum.

they will have definitely scouted your car. have you sold any second hand parts from your current or old car lately? told anyone new where you work?

try to post any details possible about the tow truck, there is a good chance that will appear again somewhere.

i cant recall, but i havnt sold any parts only buying parts. the thing is it could have been anyone working at the shopping centre its a big place for all i know one of the trolley collector guys could be in on it.

there isnt really any great details on the tow truck other than it was a white flatbed tow truck with nothing on it but it did look old and wasnt really in great condition and it had no number plates, the police have footage of it.

This might seem a tad paranoid and all but has anyone else noticed the disturbing trend of SAU forum members having their cars stolen????

We advertise on the forum what we drive, what it's spec's are, what we've got under the bonnet, in the boot and underneather; Lot's of us even advertise where we live down to the suburb, and where we work (without even noticing) perhaps we need to stop sharing so many details publically. I don't think anyone on here would do it but it doesn't stop someone signing up and just watching our posts and virtual garages.

scotty i really hope its found and all is well :(

this might seem drastic but chain the wheels to something like a pylon. like, big f**k off big chains

sounds silly but someone trying to cut through those would definitely look sus and attract attention from people

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
