Guys the reward for information leading to the retrieval of this vehicle is over $2,000....so if u see anything lookin like this car or any parts being sold that look like they may have come from this car please let us know.

Other things about the car..

*The grill is missing and u can see the blue oil cooler through it

*The passenger skirts is damaged and is held on partly by tape, so it flutters alot witht he wind

*There is a dint with some paint missing on the passenger door, near where it meets the front quarter panel, as it was hit by a clublock

*as in the pics the muffler tip is very long, very distinct. If u see any exhaust resemblingthis for sale let us know asap

*Parts of the console and vents etc are painted cusco blue

Please contact us if u see or hear anything....pass the word on

2g's could be yours.....................

I just spoke with Dave - I thought I'd found his Sil80 on Port Wakefield road - but it wasn't the one :( - VERY similar though.

He mentioned a few unique items from the car, in case anyone get offered parts for sale:

- AAR leather drivers seat (he's never seen another one before in Australia)

- dished Sparco steering wheel

- cutom intercooler piping with tons of small pieces welded together Jap drift style

- a Defi boost gauge

- 18" rear mags, 16" silver front mags.

Keep your eyes and ears open for this stuff (or hopefully the car) to turn up!!

No so to top this off Dave is left in debt

Andrew have you met him before or is this the first time?

Dave and Sean stay at my place last time they were down for an event

Dave is a nicest guy, the kinda thing you would wish nothing on!

nah mate, haven't met Dave, but he sounded like a cool guy on the phone .....

damn I hope they find the car in one piece - in fact I hope one of us spots it, follows it to a locale, call in some SAU backup, and go to work on the bloody thieves!

I am going to get one of the Viper paging alarms for sale on the trading section, since so many cars have gone missing around the place lately. I have a good alarm and immobilisers already, but it would be nice to thave a vibrating pager in your pocket for when you are at the shops or someone else's house etc ....

Apparently the car has been recovered, mostly stripped, and 2 people have been charged so far.

Anonymous phone call, read more at the link.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
