Wow, sorry :(

Thanks, it's so hard seeing your car disappear from you one night in mint condition .. then 5 days later end up with pictures like this :(

..and to think i used to worry about parking the car and getting the doors dinged by randoms... laugh.gif

Im Sorry to hear about ya ride ...

With the amount of Imports that have been stolen lately, maybe someone should make a "SA Stolen Car Thread".

Friggn Thieves Piss Me Off.

Its ridiculous how many imports have been stolen and tortured in the last couple of months. f**king crazy. Now i wonder if the cops are really doing their jobs. Stop f**king defecting cars and catch these f**kers arrrrgh

I agree with Mad-az.

So true, insult to injury.

But tbh there has to be a small niche targeting Imports - anything that helps to either catch or detour may help.

At the end of the day if they want it they will get it. But god-damn im sure it would throw a spotlight either way on what IS happening.

The fuel pump relay is a nice idea in theory, but in reality, any car thief worth his salt knows that trick and will likely carry a couple assorted relays with him.

Same with re-setting the 'park wire' in an auto, if they're capable of defeating an alarm and hot wiring a car, they're capable of sorting that out.

An extra physical deterrent will work better, a big f**k off club lock, a detachable boss kit with a locking hub, shit like that. While both of those can be defeated (a club lock very easily with the right tools), it adds a lot of extra time and difficulty. On top of that there's the fun things like piezo electric sirens in the cabin belting out enough noise to rival a jet on take off... And while that too may be defeated, at the very least it'll f**k up their hearing pretty good, and pretty damn quickly.

^^ out of curiousity about those sirens

would you be in any trouble if someone were to get hurt from that while breaking into your car?

as in, in the same way you can be blamed for someone breaking into your propery then hurting themselves on something

would suck if that were possibile, the wankers would totally deserve it

Surely a good car theif would wear ear plugs during the time the alarm is likely to go off too :/

Nah, cause they have the option of running away. If they don't, they're putting themselves in harms way.

-D

You'd be surprised.

The pitch and the noise will do a pretty good job of overpowering off the shelf ear plugs anyway.

    • 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.
