:eek2:

Crazy shit. I never thought someone could steal one of THOSE cars.

['90RPS13]

Good, Teach them for building a damn SI. *a

[A Spec Products]

That sucks.

If I was Tein I'd be unloading clips.

Clack clack!

[SiI40sx]

...car worth somewhere between $50,000 and $150,000

lol its only off by $100,000....maybe 50k or 150k who knows???

...Chula Vista police say it must have been a fast and furious heist...

of course they would quote those three words!!

['90RPS13]

I would guess MAYBE, $35k. Also, how do you loose something like that? Thats like misplacing a elephant in NYC? *a

[Sil Beer S13]

Hmmm inside job all the way, i would look for the guy who randomly goes on vacation or who comes in contact with alittle more money than usual.

[FRpilot]

i like how the article claims its a 'tuner' car.. with modifeid front bumper, engine, suspensions, and POWRFUL SOUND SYSTEM. hahahah

thats what every 'tuner' car has.

but yea.. car is probably getting its parts stripped and sold in mexico now like the article says.

[projekt_s13]

lol damn

Message length

[alexchanman]

i would assume its around 50k-60k including labor and junk. there was so much hype put into that car, sucks to lose it.

[Edgar]

thats messed up

[jdm538]

damn i always thought cars like that were untheftable, but im wrong. sucks a lot.

[JVD]

I would guess MAYBE, $35k. Also, how do you loose something like that? Thats like misplacing a elephant in NYC? *a
LOL! You're joking I hope. Have you ever seen the car? Civic Si is like $20000 at least. So they couldn't have put $15K in parts and labour? They said it is valued at, not what it would sell for.

Friggin theives!

That what I was thinkin......dont let that guy do your taxes. "Well....maybe you owe $50,000 to Uncle Sam....or......maybe you are getting $100,000 back"

[silverarrow27]

Man that sucks, a stolen car is a stolen car. Hope they get it back as complete as possible!

[Irukandji]

The car is probably in pieces now.

[k0uki]

the article makes me laugh

[Ricks15]

I allways thought that SI was:barf: but having you're car stolen either way sucks ass good luck Tein they better have there S15 tied down to floor with chains.

[Ghettokracker71]

fucking theives! That sucks. I agree with whoever before me said inside job.

Damn I hate theives.

Honestly people,get a real job

[P4rD0nM3]

Probably an inside job as most of you guys said...it's alreayd in pieces now too...who the hell would still a car like that and proudly drive around town?

[TipStylez]

^vin diesel. DUH!!

[alexchanman]

i would drive a civic si proud around town. alot better than a stock 240sx.

['90RPS13]

I wouldnt drive a Si around town over any 240. It could be smoking, 100 different colors and 3 donut tires and I would rock it before Si. Not the most logical pick but thats just me. *a

[FaLKoN240]

i would drive a civic si proud around town. alot better than a stock 240sx.

I would rather drive ANY newer Honda DAILY over any S-chassis. But I'll always want to have an S-Chassis as my fun car.

[ONYX S-13]

BLAPHEMY !!!

I'd drive an S-15 daily (If they were legal) over any Honda ! (Yes even over an NSX or S2000)

[HyperTek]

fuck that.. modified cars get jacked everyday.. so why does this one get media attention and the police department actually commenting on wanting to recover it? with all the illegal shiney engine mods on it.. yah california like the police department cares. Wasnt there a thread about how CHP wants people to not mod thier cars? lol


Investigators say it's possible the vehicle may have been taken across the border and perhaps being dismantled.
uhhh yah the hell does that mean? The police department is practically saying that they wont do anything and just assume "oh well its too late, probably in mexico already"....

[SiI40sx]

fucking theives! That sucks. I agree with whoever before me said inside job.

Damn I hate theives.

Honestly people,get a real job

lol that was kinda funny coming from someone with the name GHETTO CRACKER =P j.k man ur right i hate that shit too especially when people work hard as fuck for something for it to just be taken away like that

[TheWolf]

how is this car even worth $35k parting out?

"For their Civic Si, Tein add their Tein coilovers with the company's in-cockpit Electronic Damping Force Controller. But this show car goes well beyond just suspension mods. The engine sports a ball-bearing turbo kit with RC 550 cc/min injectors, an AEM fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator, and a custom exhaust system.

Rotora's big brake kit is combined with stainless steel brake lines and performance pads. The radical exterior is thanks to a custom 55 mm widebody kit, modified front bumpers, side skirts and rear bumpers, and an APR carbon fiber front diffuser, canards and rear wing. "

OK slightly used tein coilovers and EDFC. $1500 ON a good day.
Civic SI Turbo Kit $3500 maybe 4k if you find a die hard SI fan
Rotora brake kit $1000 (donated anyway)
Seats/Stereo/ Interior BS $2000 if you find a buyer for red sparcos and money to burn.

Custom molded in bodywork that's easily traceable to the car? A stock SI body pannel you can sell for $300 each easily. A 55mm widebody pannel kinda requires the whole moulded it kit.. Go sell it yourself to a cop on ebay. Maybe $1200 depending on how easily it comes off the car. Let alone how long it'd take you to ditch the tein decals and paint. Show cars are notorious bondo beasts.

Stolen Wheels.. 1k

What's left? A 06 civic SI with no bodywork, no airbags, good engine/tranny (if someone feels like doing a 06 civic engine swap into something, that's a wireing nightmare) and a unsellable hulk of car to a group with no real needs. Right now everything for that car is under warranty so no one needs a air compressor or good radiator or window switch or dash trim piece...


I'm at 10.2k. They'd be lucky to get that... I also doubt it was one man job. Crime doesn't pay.

[SiI40sx]

^^ wow almost sounds like u stole the car and regret stealing it lol

[HKsilvia]

why everybody is like feelin joy that this car is stolen, i think this is a nice car though and i feel really sorry and ridiculous that it was stolen, i hate theives. i wish their balls would fall off one day they wake up.

btw..rotora big brake kit is sold at least $2000

[TheWolf]

nahh I've never stolen anything... just don't see why people steal something like that... seriously.. divide it up between two and 5k don't go far.. but that's along time in prision for 5k.. better off stealing a new vette or mustang or something.. just stupid criminals to take a marked car like that...

btw HKsilvia..

$1300..
6piston is $2200.. that's retail though.. and I doubt they're getting retail for barely used installed parts.. I'm sure it's a big mover as well...

[SimpleS14]

Man that really sucks...it was most definately an inside job.

I allways thought that SI was:barf: but having you're car stolen either way sucks ass good luck Tein they better have there S15 tied down to floor with chains.

If someone jacked the S15...then I would be royally pissed.

[undesiredshoe]

i bet the cops stole it and now they are like, yep, if you have a modified car in california, dem crooks are gonna jack dat shiet!

[fliprayzin240sx]

Fook it...doesnt matter for tein, they can write it off their business tax as a loss on top of the insurance for it. Its an asset of the company so i dont see why they wont be getting their money back.

[420sx]

thats what u get for not cashing out for extra security.

[Tenchuu]

obviously it needs to be handled by the fast and furioud division of the SDPD

i hate cali cops.

[Avante]

i love chula vista.

[mistaanime]

police are lookin for the car huh..its juss gonna end up in the pound...if found anyways...c'mon..that thing obvously illegal on the streets...

[P4rD0nM3]

i would drive a civic si proud around town. alot better than a stock 240sx.

I meant who would drive a car that has all those stuff stolen around town? You'll get noticed pretty quick.

[khmerguy618]

geez, even tuners aren't safe in cali, time to cash out.
