For anyone reading this and also to the original poster, speak to Chris from Audio Express. They can fit a decent quality TK104 GPS Tracker.

They aren't expensive and you will be able to find the car even up to 60 days after the car has had its battery removed. You can ever send an SMS to the device to tell it to shut off the fuel pump, sound horn, lock/unlock doors all via sms.

Welp, I might be the luckiest guy alive. The police have recovered the car and it is on its way to Chris at audio express today to get sorted...I really hope they catch the prick, aparently they have a good idea of who and its for more then just my car. Although I havent seen it yet so I have no idea what shape its in the police said it looked to be in good shape. I just hope the parts I picked up last week are still in the boot

thanks to all the well wishers

Get info so we can organise a special thank you to them for assisting with the returning of your car. :thumbsup:

dan,

yet to check if its at the shop or not.(he rang me this morning and I told him to send the towie my way and drop the key off to it.

I will look at it tomorrow.

this car will also be used for the tech night on security as it will show the people there how the thing was stolen.

I will call you tomorrow re tracker - there is a fair bit more to it than that.

Tech night?

  • 2 weeks later...

I pity the idiot that tries to take this car..

10 layers of security and 6 of those are VERY transparent and REMOTELY controlled.

those that were at the tech night will have some inkling of what I am getting at.

definitely a rave..

last thing a thief wants is attention - they will CERTAINLY get that.

dan kent,

about to send you a few useful images - call me when you get them.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
