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

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA oh man you just made my morning.

yeah and attaching YOUR CAR to a BIG FK OFF PYLON with BIG FK OFF chains wont raise suspiscion either its not a freakin mongoose man

^^^ I'll say it again .... for under US$20 you can get a lead-lined car blanket that will knock out any SMS/Satellite service ....

this is true but they dont have the time to throw it on straight away so at least you will see where they are heading.

feel for you bro. hope the following days turn out better for you.

this (theft) sort of thing really really annoys/frustrates me!!!

while we're at it and speaking of brazen.

I still reckon a cheap Nokia with a good battery would do the trick. Leave it on silent, not to vibrate and set it to auto answer. Record that M tracking number and wire a car charger up to the battery somewhere very difficult to find and obscure within the car.

As soon as it goes missing give the police the details, let them call the phone and track it. If its under lead sheet, just wait and keep calling. Even with the car battery disconnected a new strong battery that's been permanently on charge the power should last a long time, especially if its just sitting there doing nothing.

Then install a generic alarm system that will mislead the thieves into thinking they've got the only alarm system in the car disabled.

CCTV timelapse stored incar. If car moves by GPS, vibrates, is tilted or power supply voltage fluctuates, it sends last 20-30 mins of limelapse over 3G then continues reporting CCTV and GPS location in realtime over 3G. You'll have the vehicles direction, cctv footage of people possibly scoping earlier, gps location, last location, everything. Battery backup, stickers, obvious mounted cameras.

The little flashing red light doesn't mean shit anymore. You can't trust the public, the towy will just say "Yeah the owner told me the alarm would go off, idiot lost his keys" or whatever excuse works at the time to keep public at bay. Honestly, when's the last time you EVER saw a towy taking a car and thought 'WTF! GET HIS DETAILS!' Never.

Or as Mohsen said, massive chain onto a massive pylon. Sure it's crude, but it's the next best thing.

Longterm solution - Bash any towy ever caught trying to steal a car. And bash him to the point where the papers and other towy thieves hear about it. Then bash alr33x for his (as always) positive role in discussions.

    • 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.
