On 4/24 Saturday night at 12:40 PM someone disabled my shops camera system and proceeded to strip my 1993 Black R1 of any valuable parts. Despite the vehicle being in plain line of sight of the neighboring apartment complex and the shear amount of parts they took, which must have taken hours, no one called the police. The parts list is below. Please keep your eyes out, ask friends, check craigslist, anything so I can get these parts back. I spent over 4 years collecting parts and my insurance is only covering $5000 in aftermarket parts. The total taken is well over $15k.

The thieves blocked my cameras, punched the door lock in, and left the car sitting stripped on wood blocks. It is almost like someone had a shopping list, because silly things were broken or left that any rx7 owner would know how to remove without damage. (They took a short throw shifter, but not the insert to make it work? Took the Racing Beat muffler, but not the rest of the Racing Beat pipe that connects to the mid pipe? Cut the radiator hoses, but unbolted the intakes? Left most the hardware/broken plastics.) So please watch out for someone or anyone with the following parts and please call me!!!

Pettit Racing 99 spec plateless front bumper
99 spec OEM Combo lights
99 spec OEM lip
Greddy SMIC
Koyo N-Flow radiator + aftermarket inline water temp sensor

I am offering a $1000 cash reward for any verifiable tips that lead to the capture of these criminals. I literally do not know what I am going to do. This may very well be the end of me and rx7's.

Thank you.

Holy hell Marc... that's terrible.

This is ridiculous. They had to have had some prior knowledge about it at least to know what was set up and such...

Good luck on getting things back.

 

Whoever did that deserves some a serious *** whooping. Sorry to see that happen to you Marc. I'll keep my eyes out on CL and Ebay since I'm already on there at work anyways. Hopefully something turns up soon.

 

That sucks man. I hope you find those sleazebags and give them the *** whooping they deserve.

 

Marc, Do you think this is the same dude you scared away from you shop a few nights ago? Bunch of Bullshit. Ill keep a look out for you!

 

Wow thats fucked up, My best wishes to find the ******** who stripped that car Ill keep on the look out!

 

Sorry to hear this, that sucks. Hope you find out something...

 

take these ***** and shoot em in the woods. good luck with finding your parts, man.

 

I check craigslist like 5 times a day...i'll keep my eyes open

 

Wow, really sorry to hear this Marc.

That should be a clue.

 

your wheels should be easy to spot, i havent seen another set of them around, sorry to hear it man. hopefully you get your stuff back

 

Wow Marc Sorry to hear this! Gosh I hope the car was fully insured. You would of thought the neighbors would of saw the car being stripped.

 

Really sorry to hear about this Marc. Makes me sad and PO at that same time. Good luck in catching the idiots.

Curious about the insurance coverage. Was that from your car insurance or the insurance from the shop?

 

Wow. Just wow. So sorry to hear and so sad to see. Someone knew what they were doing...

Hopefully, the ****** that did this get what they deserve.

 

Posting/linking to all the forums I am a part of. Good luck, hope you get it back brother.

 

Sorry to hear that Marc. Hope you had insurance for that sort of thing.
I will inform you if I hear of anything down my way.

 

Sorry to hear that Marc. I will keep my eyes open.

 

eyes open in Salem. do you have pictures of the parts or any identifable marks on them?

 

damn dude that is fucked lol i will now be setting my alarm even tho its inside all the time. gotta wonder why they left the 50$ efini badges tho?

 

i check craigslist daily, will keep and eye out. good luck with everything.

 

thats really shitty, I hope they find the guy who did it.

 

Thanks guys,
I really do not know what to say. This whole situation just sucks. I spent 4 years gathering parts and I just can not believe the timing. I have 800 things to do between closing the shop, starting my new contract work, cleaning up our property/home shop, and at this point, I just need a break. I think I have had to repeat the same story 60 times and I just don't even want to talk about it anymore. I hope they find something, anything. Ofcourse I am being looked at by my insurance SIU/fraud team now. It does not help that I just this year put full coverage on it and my car was the only one outside. What I do not get is it sat out there all the time and someone had to be watching me/the shop.
I will be so happy when this is all over .

 

My thought is to keep it off the forums so that the idiots aren't aware of how many people are looking for them and as a result think the heat has died down. Then they'll feel more secure in posting on Craigslist and you can catch the MFers sooner. But it's hard to get the word out without using the forum... catch 22, huh?

Regardless, I'm sorry your stuff got jacked.

 

man that is insane!

 

they stoled all those parts and now cant even use or sell . and the bad thing is you prob. no the people . or they are on the forum . i just hope you dont get life in prison when you find out who it was . and you will !!!!!!! im goin to C L now .. dont let this eat you up marc !! we need you !
