if ANYBODY sees it or anything that resembles it (basically, there's no other car that really looks like this around) then PLEASE email me on [email protected], give me a call on 02 4962 1800, or send me a pm. the number plate is KW11CK, there's not much else to say on the car really.

fingers crossed... :O

Sorry to hear about any car being stolen. I know its not a good feeling, eespecially when you've put lots of time and effort into it.

I'll keep an eye out for it. I don't think I'll have any trouble recognising it.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of security system did you have on it?

yeah, is a nice car :P pretty bad story really...

it didn't have a full security system, i thought it had the stock zed alarm but obviously not, a lot of the zeds came with alarm systems that were designed to go off if someone played around with the wiring or anything like that... unfortunately the 2 other 280's that ive owned have had this feature, and the nice one happened to not have it (i can only assume). problem with these older cars is the wiring can start to play up a bit, so i don't know if that accounted for anything... it's just all the bad variables thrown into one really... wouldn't wish it onto anyone

So do you think its possible that joy-riders took it?

I wouldn't think they would in a car that stands out so much but it is possible.

Just in case it might be a good idea to check the areas people usually dump cars on the coast. If you haven't done it already.

It's a fairly loud car too, so they'd be noticed pretty easily if they were joyriders.

Hope you get it back, Matt. All thieves should be shot.

don't give up. had my car stolen about a year ago and it turned up 3 weeks later. it was dumped and had suffered a few thousand worth of parts stolen and a scratch here and there.

But i got it back.

I guess i was very lucky, but it can happen.

what did you do with the car once you got it back? i think i'd almost be more sad to get it back all bent out of shape, than to never see it again.

and yeah, i would agree that you were pretty lucky on that one. unfortunately I've heard that if you don't get it back within about 48 hours then you're likely to not get it back ever.

I repaired all the damage and kept it.

Or at least kept it for a few months. none of the damage was permanent and the car was 100% when i sold it.

I would have kept it for a few years but the buying of a house stopped that bit of fun...

    • 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
