Car was seen last night at woolworths fuel station on Wanneroo and Canham roads. Person called the police and me but suspect must have sensed trouble and has done a runner without paying for fuel and headed north down Wanneroo. The guy persued but was unable to keep up. Shop attendant says there is video footage of the thief so hopefully he is recognized. Car had a full tank of gas when stolen so it is being driven everywhere!

Yeah mate I saw what happened to your car.......people these days are seriously F***ed, I would never contemplate doing that to someone elses car. I don't know what will happen but I have the feeling it won't end well, but there is still some hope.

Far out what is going on in perth lately its scary to see and hear of the sudden rise of home invasion's/car jackings to steal or attempt to steal someones pride and joy :( sorry to hear this happen to you mate but atleast your ok as bad as this sounds a car can be fixed/replaced but you cant.. I hope you get it back in one piece matey and the cops catch the scum... This shit is getting out of control but its good to see all of us members pulling together and keeping there eyes out spreading the word and posting up on all the forums and social networks.. Good luck mate hope you get it back in one piece :(

Took him for a test drive and he wanted to see under the hood, I opened the bonnet he had a look around with a torch,as I closed the bonnet he jumped into the drivers side and floored it, he did a u turn and I stepped into the middle of the road and he accellerated towards me and I jumped out of the way and he took off up Beechboro road heading towards the reid highway intersection.

This has happened before! I guy I know was trying to sell his AU XR8, his dad was going to take an 'interested' buyer for a test drive..after his dad had given the guy the keys he jumped in, reversed out the driveway nearly taking out his dad in the process and took off.

I don't want to dampen your hopes, but the car was never seen again...guessing chop shop...

He had heaps of trouble with insurance as well, but finally got paid out.

I hope you have better luck then he did and at least get the car back..

Have been contacted by Clarkson police and don't have all the details but keys were anonymously handed to police and address of cars whereabouts also given. Police are examining the car for forensic material. Officer told me the stereo is gone and the front bar damaged, haven't been able to see for myself but at least I'm getting it back. Will update when i know more. Thanks to everyone for their best wishes and helping to spread the word!

Good to hear it's been found!

Would like to hear the full story... surely you would be questioned handing keys in for a stolen car?

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
