It made it to the St Croix Port, it was stripped while he was waiting for it to clear customs. Wheels, turbo and misc stuff were stripped.

Please keep an eye out.

 

Damn sorry to hear that. Does the new owner knows about this?

 

Most certainly. His forum name is REDBULLSTX.

I just don't understand how something like this can happen at a federal port.

Agreed, seems like there would be some kind of security there Sadly the party resposible for this is probably employees or somebody that knew it was going to be there... Honestly what are the chances of somebody randomly going to the port to see if there was going to be something there worth taking, and this car just so happend to be there.

 

it was deinately someone that works for the shipping company. it amazes me that this can happen in the port. but i assure you i am brewing up one hell of a shitstorm. this is more of an issue for homeland security than just a simple robbery. i am dealing with the government agencies ie: port authority, customs, TSA etc etc.......... this has been an ongoing thing on the port for quite sometime and i am completely committed to making sure nothing like this is ever allowed to happen again. however unlikely it is, if anyone see's the turbo or the wheels you can always hit me up on here. this is a link to the post on our local car forum, with all the information since the beginning. http://streetseen.vi/forums/showthread.php?t=3413

 

what a bunch of dogs!

 

That's terrible! Deffinately someone had a whole wack of time to do that...

 

Will alert the boys in Trini just in case... Sometimes parts gets tossed around between islands

 

Man that sucks.

 

thanks for all the concern. its a senseless crime and its being dealt with. what kills me is that noone can really use anything that was stolen.... what else is going to spool that turbo/???????

 

Un-freakin REAL!!!

You've got insurance on this shipment right?

I've never shipped a car before so I have no idea how this works...

 

Sorry bastards, that really sucks. Good luck with recovering some of your parts.

 

damm that suck's bro, i had shipped my ae86 back to pr in the 90's and had some lights and interior parts stolen and man i was f@#% pist, i could imagine how you are

 

Quick question,were was this rx7 being shipped to?

 

St Croix dude , geez im telling you scavengers gallore,, ive heard alot of vultures in the Dominican Republic where we ship cars to frequently...a turbo and wheels of that caliber is worth some moola in the islands bruh,,, Good luck tracking it down.....

 

That BLOWS...
The good thing is the parts are unique and should be easy to spot on the island...

GL..hope you find ur parts

 

That sucks. Didn't the same thing happen to your 3rd genn when you sold it?

 

Yeah, it was stolen and stripped but I've recently noticed him posting alot of parts from it on ebay. So, who knows what really happened.

 

latest update. the shipping company Crowley shipping says they are only liable for $500.00......... so its gonna have to be fought out in court. it may be years before i see a dollar but someone is going to have to pay. In the meantime i have been buying back the parts out of pocket. the tires showed up today, the wheels should be here thursday, and the turbo should be here next week. Hopefully it should be back running within the next month. I will keep you guys updated on the progress and i do thank you guys sincerely for the concern. Rotary4life.................

 

Do what you like to my clothes, beat me up if you see fit ( If you think you can) Talk all the SH*T you want, but don't F&^K with a man's car. God that pissess me the hell off.. Hope those bastards fry.

 

Well it has been a while so i figured i would give an update. Shipping company finally paid me after a year in court. What a pain in the ***... Anyways, i have had really bad luck with this car. Had a stuck corner seal so i had to pull the motor. Nothing was damaged so i just put new seals and took the port out a little bigger. Put it back together and it been running great.

Then comes my wiring disaster over some unplugged tail lights. Decided to do away with the e6k for a ps1000. Painstakingly rewired the whole car. Now it looks like the injector drivers took a dump.

Its been one thing after the next. But i have basically rebuilt everything on the car so i know it was done right. And if not, i only have myself to blame ok so now for a few pics.

 

 

 

 

Ground clearance was a big issue before so i decided to make the whole thing from scratch. There are only 2 places that it can be seen under the frame rail. I also wanted the benefits of the 5" downpipe without it always being obnoxiously loud. So i have the 5" cutout that when closed, go's back to a full 2.5" exhaust to the tailpipe. So it can be quiet on the drive to the track, and as loud as it wants at the track.
