Stolen: Sound Stream Gear

Hi guys

I had some Sound Steam gear stolen from me in Palmerston.

A witness said (at the time he was not aware of my stuff being stolen) he was approached by two young guys on General Holmes Drive in Sydney. I am pretty sure this happened on the long weekend (1 to 3 October) as the suspects went to Sydney that weekend (according to the cops who had no reasonable cause to hold them).

The 'two young guys' were in a white van. He was waved at to slow down and wind his window down. They offered him sound stream car stereo gear and said it was new stuff that they just imported. They asked him to offer them something (money) for the gear. Thinking the deal was dodge, he said 'no' straight away and off he went.

Odds are they would have got rid of it (sold it) in Sydney on the long weekend.

What was stolen was the tarantula range with the dark purple spider. This gear is yet to be brought into Australia. It was purchased overseas and brought back with a person.

Stolen were:

1 x 12" sub

2 pairs 6"x9" speakers

1 pair 4" speakers

2 pairs 1" tweeters

With this there was top of the range cable wires for the installation.

If ANYONE has ANY information... they might have heard or seen something... PLEASE let me know. The best way to get hold of me is via email: [email protected] or through a PM on here.

If you can please alert anyone you know in Sydney and keep your eyes and ears out if you go to Sydney, that would be great! I have heaps of people in Sydney looking around and the cops are looking around.

As this system is very rare and the only one like it in Australia, if someone is caught with it, they will be in a strife for accepting stolen goods and lose A LOT of money cause they would have paid heaps for it.

Like I said ANYTHING you guys can do to help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Jo

Ok....

At the time I knew this was very dodgy so i tried my best to remember everything I could about t:

I was at the Gunghalin Market place on tuesday at 1:30pm. I had only just pulled up in a spot and a white van pulled up next to me. I had my window down and the guy in the passenger seat said to me "Hey, you wanna buy some stereo gear?" I was like :P "what?" He said something about home and car stereo gear brand new, good price... I just said no thanks and they took off!

I got a good look at the van and the passenger. Tried to grab the plates but wasnt very succesfull...

Important to note: this was after the long weekend.

If I can be of any help just let me know.

Also, a Sony headunit was stolen. This was in my car before I put my MP3 player in which was to hook up to the Soundstream gear. I am not sure what the Sony headunit is as it was in there when I bought it but I do know it has a little ball as a remote (which I think is unique). Just a hint if people see this around or if they see soundstream gear and a sony unit next to it :P

Yeah three guys and three girls have been arrested, they are the ones who did the thieving in the house.

I am going to the police station today to hopefully find my necklace and some other stuff.

Just that someone out there on the streets has got my sony headunit and soundstream gear :)

If everyone can continue to keep an eye and ear out I will love that and be very appreciative. I don't think it has been sold yet and if it has been, someone is about to gloat about soundstream gear in their car.

No luck yet :(

We are now hoping that someone gloats about their new soundstream gear so we can get it back.

They pass it around in their groups as collateral so the people arrested would have passed it to someone who passed it to someone who passed it to someone else.

Police are still investigating so any input would be appreciated but I am unfortunately starting to give up.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
