What "prevention device?" lojack or something? I'm happy you recovered it!

My theft prevention device is my lousy paint.

A removable steering wheel that comes with me into the house makes it tough to steal, too.

Glad you got it back! I have a set of rollers I bought from a guy who ran the passenger side over a curb. The 2 are bent a little but I drove on them to try them once and they are useable. If you need them for a while, I am happy to lend them to you. I mean, we all know I ain't puttin' no slicks on the good ones anytime soon

I have a pretty decent kill switch, and I use the club, even though I know a crack head can hacksaw it in like 45 seconds

Oh crap, I guess they got those nice new wheels. I only have the stock 15" ones, hopefully you still have the originals, but if not let me know, I will bring you the rollers.

Thanks!!! Ariel at SB Garage actually let me borrow a set of spare wheels while the thing was up on blocks so i could get it moved. my new wheels will be here Monday and we should be back in action.

i had a pedal club (which i really should've put on the clutch) that they couldn't get off. i think they tried to use the ebrake or what little brake they could when they bent my pedal from trying to get the club off. i have a removable steering wheel that was supposed to go on the weekend after it got stolen. kill switch and tracking is being strategized as well.

I don't really want to post it up here, but I have some good ideas for kill switches. Let me know if you want a hand.

got the car put together after theft recovery, replaced the rear brakes with sport calipers since the stock had seized (which completely screwed with brake bias), and subsequently went overkill and put a 11.75" kit on it.



• Supermiata 11.75" BBK w/directional rotors
• 15x9 Storms
• G-Loc R10/R8

i had a scare at Sonoma going backwards in to Turn 6 so a HANS was bought with 6pts and a seat. hope to be at Laguna Seca at the end of the month with all of these installed as well.
