^ dang that really sucks... stolen from your house too??

how are all these rx7's being stolen? faulty alarm system??

when i locked my keys inside my FC, i had the hardest time trying to get into the car. i F'd up my passenger door seals and even added a couple "dents" on the roof of my car just TRYING to get in... i ended up having to call "triple A", and they got the keys out in a flash with a slim...

so i'm just wondering what it would take for a car to get stolen... they break in and jump the ignition wires (straight movie styles) or what??

anywho, i hope you catch the son of a byotch and strangle him :D

Ravingecu21 06-10-06 12:22 PM

faulty alarm system??
I dont think they ever worked right from the factory.

to many rx7s get stolen. I think its time to disable the fuel pump and have it only come on with your finger print :)

sorry for ur lose. that really sucks

That actually might just be possible.

And it would be a good idea because FC's are so easy to break into.

ajsuper7 06-10-06 01:24 PM

i figure by now the only guys stealing fc's are other poorer fc owners. just grab a well used fc key and hey you can get into other fc's and probably start them. the key from an 87se i had still works just as well with my 91 vert...

'87 turbo II 06-10-06 01:26 PM

damn I didn't know people still knew what these were enough to steal one. Now I'm all paranoid. I hope you find it still in one piece, good luck that sucks major.

well the guy could've at least left his old FC there.

tandolla 06-10-06 02:12 PM

sry to hear that man.. i will keep a look out but i mean im pretty far away.. but still i will try to help a fello FC owner out.. :( good luck man.

TOOSHORT_88 06-10-06 05:04 PM

rx7ryder 06-10-06 05:17 PM

that sucks man , now im gonna change my locks im scared now, yo n i tried da key thing with my uncles n it opened , yo good luck findin it

SkqqterRX7 06-10-06 07:24 PM

First of all let me say I feel you pain and I'm sorry you are going through this. I had my 86 stolen in Phoenix and went without a car for 2 1/2 years when I bought my 87.

My question is what kind of alarm system did you have? I put an aftermarket system on mine after it was broke into last September. I have had some problems with it like the damn thing going off as I drive down the road because I accidently turned on the auto set function. Talk about feeling stupid! That's when I crank the stereo and don't look at anybody because I can't get it to turn off.

I truly hope your car is found and found quickly. I live in the Bellevue/Renton area and will keep an eye out for you.

uspmasta 06-10-06 08:14 PM

i'll deffinatley keep on eye out for you car over in the puyallup/tacoma area. hope you get it back soon.

TOOSHORT_88 06-10-06 09:10 PM

i think who ever took it was eyein it for a while... but i havent seen any suspicious cars around.. but i think when the cops find it its gonna be completly stripped i had atleast 7 thousand in receipts... i t had a new motor install about 1 year ago. I had a aftermarket alarm but was going off when i tryed to arm it so i was just using the stock one.. I do have full coverage on that car though plus i always got my vert its an 88 too... all stock

SPEEDRATED 06-10-06 10:34 PM

Man what a scumbag!!!! I will keep my eyes peeled in kirkland & mt vernon! I dont have a cell phone but i have a tire iron!!!!:Kill1:

importedboi 06-11-06 03:33 AM

i live around the same area, ill be on a lookout.

woundup7 06-11-06 09:51 AM

Sorry that happened, its a sweet car. I live off of 320th in twin lakes, I will now definately be looking.

TOOSHORT_88 06-11-06 11:29 AM

ya i think they gotta be pros or something.... my car is gone for 1 day now.. just be on the look out , if u guys come across a stripped fc let me know thats what u guys should be on the look out for .you wont see my car driving around town, but u will see parts of my car on other fc's maybe like mismathced body panels .. man i had everything on that car dvd player system and i always took the precaution of turning everything off when i got into the complex, it just pisses me off..i never advertised my shitt.

notveryhappyjack 06-11-06 03:02 PM

you should check around on some different fourms and classifieds for your same parts off your car incase the theives try to part it

SPEEDRATED 06-11-06 03:17 PM

My X girlfrind had her car stolen buy a gang. The police said they steal the car and strip it, then when it goes to the insurance auto auction they buy it back for like $200-$300.00 (free and clear title) and put the parts back on and sell it! I have seen those guys ( 4 or 5 ) at the auction sitting on a nice car that has ben lovingly striped to the bone. If you get to close to the car they get real nasty and stand in your way giving you the evil eye!!! Why the cops cant do somthing is beyond me!
So if it turnes up striped, buy it back. At least they cant sell it.
I have a membership there, so if this hapens to be the case, let me know and you can get in as my guest and i will buy it back for you!

TOOSHORT_88 06-11-06 05:27 PM

My car is worth more than 4 grand . but let me know what auction this is...., Hey spedrated what should i expect to get for the car from insurance claim. I added all receipt's up, the stuff that was on the car and came up with a preety healthy number. I had a friend who had his civic vandleized and got around 9 g's back ...

I did this morning checked craigs, and v bulliten i will check ebay tonight...saw nothing of my car parts..

tandolla 06-11-06 11:30 PM

this might not help really sence it is different then gettin a car stolen but when i got in my accident with a bone stock 87 FC i got a good 2,700 back from insurnace so im pretty sure if you have the reciepts you will get a alot of your money back if not most of it.?

Upgrayedd 06-11-06 11:43 PM

Trust me on this one, although it's probly not what you wanna hear. Whether you have receipts or not the insurance company is only gonna give you money for whay you have insured or what would be a blatant upgrade (stereo, wheels, exhaust, lowering springs)... I had my 97 Integra stolen and got about 80% of the value of the parts (stereo, wheels, exhaust, springs) and at first even though I had EXTRA coverage for those things they wouldn't give me money until I harrassed my agent and then they only covered the parts I previously listed.... They tried to give me $300 for my BRAND NEW wheels.. Each wheel without a tire was $475!! ALL ther mods other than those they CLAIMED were factory options, which they tried to tell me EVERYTHING was a factory option... I guess it ALL depends on your insurance company, but MINE was HELL! I never wanna have a car jacked again for the fatc that it sux AND you have to deal with insurance.

Good luck. You have my prayers

TOOSHORT_88 06-12-06 01:24 AM

So i called my friend who got his civic vandleized. He actually got 10 grand back , but at first they tried to only give him 5 but he did not settle and got what his receipts were all added up too...and bought his car back for 1,000.

TOOSHORT_88 06-12-06 05:34 PM

its been 2 days now and still no stripped car.. How long does it take to strip a car danm... I wish i knew what the hell they are planning on doing with my car. They gotta dump it sometime soon i hope.

I use to work for one of the auctions and trust me you do not want to get between them and the car. The worst are the Russian buyers they will make you vanish.

F0RSAKEN 06-12-06 10:32 PM

Ive always wanted to find the people that do these things, like the members of the gangs that steal cars and strip them, then steal their car and strip it. Maybe leave a love note on it or something.

Whatever you do, if it ends on the auction block and there are a group of guys trying to buy it, out bid them, or bid the shit out of it so they have to pay out the ass for the stripped chassis...and keep your cell handy in case they approach you :P

SkqqterRX7 06-12-06 11:47 PM

As a paralegal I have worked with insurance companies and I can tell you adjusters are as bad if not worse than attorneys. They may only offer you blue book initially and the first offer is always garbage usually an insult. Like what has already been said the adjuster is going to try to screw you any way possible. I thought insurance companies were supposed to be our friends, yeah and pigs fly. Check your policy limits because that is the max they have to pay and read the fine print, that's where they really get you. If you have replacement value coverage then it won't be too bad because they will pay what it cost you to replace everything. Another thing to take into consideration is how old each item is because they will figure out the depreciated value.

If there is anything I can do to help pm me.

15 years!! Got her when I was 6.....

jack daniels 06-15-06 02:47 AM

you want to torch his car you should use thermite simple and very effective i can give you a recipe if you don't know it




Through the hood the block and watch the plack pool and cool under the car

tandolla 06-15-06 04:39 AM

or use cheap napalm. ( gasonline and styrophome) ( spelling?)
i know thermite would be waybetter but im pretty sure that way of making napalm is WAY! cheaper lol

jack daniels 06-15-06 04:45 AM

no
Rust plus aluminum 50/50 ratio and magnesium fuse (pull a flashbulb apart for that) then just use a small hand torch as the lighter stem back and watch the engine bay dissapear

with the price of gas right now and the fact that you really need carosean not gas it's way cheeper 10 times harder to put out and 100 times more damaging we are talking heat that vaporises cast iron

1987_Gxl 06-15-06 02:18 PM

thermite over the gas tank....

Derekcat 06-15-06 02:54 PM

get a polaroid camera and bunch of friends, and have a person or two watching his house 24/7... he's got to open the garage some time and when he does snap a picture and call the police...
maybe bring a photocopy of the title so you can prove it's yours..

TOOSHORT_88 06-15-06 07:13 PM

all my friends work and get off around 4 pm or 6-pm.. weekends is the only good day i can think of to sit in my car around the corner and watch ... unless one of u guys would wanna scope it out for me...

TOOSHORT_88 06-15-06 07:59 PM

remember this is a public forum so if ya wanna tell me how to make somthing or plan somthing pm me dont put it on here...

jack daniels 06-15-06 08:03 PM

lol never gave any details that aren't widely known already
