-chargespeed vented hood
-sr20det blacktop
-uras aero
-works vs mesh
-buddyclub exhaust
-cusco coilovers, ruca, and toe arms

everyone install ignition kill switch
its easy and free(steal the switch, find random wires in ur garage)
and if you place the switch right (dont tell a soul that you have a kill switch)
your car will never get jacked!

I hate to see this shit!!
Good luck!

You do know that theives can just drag your car onto a flat bed, nothing is ever 'truly' safe from theft.

Only guarantee it won't get stolen is parking in the garage. I'll keep an eye out down here in san diego.

I just saw that vert 2 days ago. Guy was super cool and ran me down in my new vert. That really really sucks since it was such a clean car. This kinda crap is making me scared for my vert's life. Me and all my friends will keep an eye out for it or any pieces that might have came off of it. We need like an amber alert for 240's or something.

i hate to say it but the odds are if u find the car its gonna be a bare shell, people usually don't steal cars to joy ride they usually strip that bitch and dump it somewhere that has happened to 3 of my friends in the past 2 months makes me wanna kill somebody :rl: haha but i really hop they find the car its a shame to see some bullshit like that happen GL

I hope they find the car soon and intact. :( Was there any sort of security on the car?

Thats why you always get insurance full and extra.... I wish they would steal my shit...lol
Sorry to hear good luck,....

Hah. Good luck trying to claim that. Most insurance companies are a bitch to get money from on the value of just the car, trying to get the value of the mods too!? psssshhhh forgedaboutit....

Sucks to hear.

If this really is Reuben's car, I kind of would've seen it coming the way his cars are parked.

Way too out in the open, tons of people driving by can easily spot a front mount, and it's stupid easy to spot a modified S13 like that on such a busy intersection.

GL trying to find it in one piece.

Hooorahh!

guy told me what they had and wow ! easy 10k loss ... hope u get it back with some parts .. wow ! ! ! !

Sorry to hear man.

I keep waiting to see a thread, "chased down my parts today".
It would be about a guy seeing all his parts on a rusty hatch in Boyle Heights or some sh*t. And chasing down some 18 year old gangster/ricer and getting all the parts back for his car with some police assistance. lol

Cause all these parts are out there. just on the cars of the really retarded ricer 240's that non of us will have anything to do with. maybe we should cruise a couple drag meets and do a parts inventory :)

And we all know at this point, the cars are getting taken on broad daylight on trailers.(its faster and easier and looks somewhat official.)

PRADOgy

12-12-2007, 01:24 PM
yea this theft thing is out of control. Im glad i keep my car in the garage but i leave my daily honda out for bait but its not something someone would want to steal. I would start checking ebay also the recycler and craigslist frequently. other than that pray to get it back all in one piece. When my civic was stolen since nothing was modified they just stole the radio, ipod, birth control pills and random shit. But they left my tickets to freight fest?....yeah i still dont understand it. But g.l to you sir. I doubt someone would be stupid to drive around in this as well.

12-12-2007, 04:25 PM
damn, sorry to hear the news. I'm glad in louisville the 240 owners are spread thin and the import scene isn't that big so nothing like htis happens often (traffic cops have nothing to do but hassle people). Hope you get your shit back intact.

Good luck man, keepin an eyes out in the 310 area , dont see many modded red verts with fmic. I think if we found who did this we fuck them up! Im glad i live in an apt with a gated downstairs parking no body can get with any big truck or if they started it it would be too loud and plus ppl here with trip if they seen any gangsta figurs around this apt

Guys thanks for all the positive input and keeping yours eyes out. It was stolen right on the boarder of lakewood/cerritos/and bellflower. We are just trying to figure out how it was even taken. 3.0 quick release, good ignition(not a worn key), no power steering, wheels facing curb a little, and his other layed out in front!! And to boot 1130am on a major street!!

Damn, too many Silvia's being taken i hate it when people steal shit instead of putting their hard earned work into what they truly want.Shit like this makes me so mad. when ever my boys claim they took something or say they their going to it just leaves me in disappointment. What you steal doesn't stay as long in your hands as something you earned, eventually karma gets you back with fury.Really hope you get your car back.

12-13-2007, 12:53 PM
I put money on it all his shit is on one vert. Nobody steals a vert to sell the parts makes no sence they put it on their shit. So just look for a vert with his bumpers and shit spray painted. Some hood kid got a vert for xmas figure out witch one.

Also remember they live by where you found it you dont just tow a striped 240sx across the city and not look funny. Go look for a vert in that area they got you parts. If the top was taken to then it was sombody that needed it.

it DOESN'T have to be a VERT for the parts to be installed on another car. majority of those can fit 89-94 240's. cant just target a specific model, though that will stand out.

of course some of you guys wont probably do it but a few will if their hard earned money was taken. its sucks to have anything stolen cuz it has happened to me as well. and if i ever find my parts (of course making sure they are indeed mine) i will take it back by any means necessary. sorry to hear about the loss regardless.

I know some of you guys don't like him, but he's always done right by me. And I also know he's hooked up a few other members as well(johnny). I only started the thread to bring notice to another stolen car! Please keep comments geared towards that. If you have negative things on him just add to his review. Thanks again to all those.

CrimsonRockett
12-13-2007, 10:24 PM
I'll admit, he did hook me up on the coilovers, but he was super shady about it, wasted my time one night by making me wait a few hours for nothing, and was super shady one time I tried to get an exhaust off of him.

If it wasn't for the shady part, he's cool.

But, as others have already said, he's scammed others.
