Mate I really feel for you. I can't imagine how I would feel seeing my car destroyed like that.

It really shows that some people don't belong in a country as good as ours.

majority of these cars (and others) seem to be being stolen by late teens to early 20's, thrashed, then horribly mangled.

About 5 years ago, my car was broken into - Lucky it had decent immobiliser and they couldn't drive it. They wrecked the interior something chronic though.

What I wanted to say though, is that there were 3 kids, 13 and 14 year olds. They stole 4 cars in my area that night to joy ride them. They drove one of them into the house down the street. Lucky they where caught that night. The police said they drove from Logan (Their residential area) to our area to do this.

Don't know about you guys, but when I was 13/14, I was into sports, girls and video games. Not learning how to hot wire cars

Yeah I was into the same stuff, I would have been too scared my old man would backhand me if I was caught doing shit like that. WTF are the parents doing these days?

Feeding them drugs for bad behavior, and listening to softcawks regarding the use of said backhand. domokun.gif

wilor you raise a good point about kids doing things differently, One of my close uncles is in traffic branch in brisbane and has said a big thing to do with all these stolen imports is the p-plate laws Nearly every theif they have caught have been between the ages of 17-22 and have all said the same thing They all cant and dont have access to these cars because of these laws, It doesnt give them the right to obviously steal from us, But i dont remember anything to this extent 4-5 years ago. What happened to the good old days when you could just Park out the front of your house with your window down car unlocked.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • 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.
