STOLEN!! Regency EL GLi - CBD

Postby ELDanny » June 6th, 2010, 5:24 am

Hi everyone,
Had my car stolen tonight, gutted as :(
Just thought i'd post up in the off chance it hasnt already been stripped..

EL GLi, Regency, EF taillights, 17" EL GT's, Eseries club stickers on the side and twin chrome dumpy's. OHE-911

Was last parked on Jolimont St near the MCG, so if anyone has seen it, would be tops :good:

Pix are a bit old, had zorst and taillights changed, plus a heap of mods that i did last couple of months :( :( :(

Insured? As much emotion is tied up in it you can also look at it as a blessing and a chance to buy something better. Step into a fully optioned EL Fairmont GHIA, or a BA/F, or a nice white box car.

Sorry to hear that your EL was stolen, it looks hot in those pics.

Are you sure it was stolen and not towed away? I know that alot of areas, around the MCG especially, are tow away zones.

If everything lights up you're done. If it's on fire you probably should have taken it to an auto electrician.

Yeh Id think tow away, if notified the police they should of told you if it was towed or not. Vicroads patrol the city and tow your vechile.
I work in the city if I see it I'll pass on the info to the police.

No good mate!I know your pain. Had my Ef ghia taken from the CBD last year. As above, check it hasn't been towed(if you haven't already). I think I called Melbourne council or something like that. Hopefully if it's been taken it was just some joy riding kids and it shows up in one piece. If not, I hope you have fire and theft

If they broke a window and put a key in the ignition for half an hour (for the ECU to learn) they could just start it?

of course that relies on nobody noticing the broken window (or the actual breaking)

I can't believe it as simple as that. I guess people at the footy or out in the city are an easy target as you're generally more than half an hour away.
Break in, put a key in, walk away then half an hour later come back and hope no ones noticed

that assumes the key fits the barrel.... which it likely won't.
you'd need to swap the barrel for that to work, then leave the car for 30mins.

if you're that keen, you might aswell bring a spare ECU with a J3, disable smartlock and plug it in :P

if you can force the original ignittion barrel then it'd likely start.

I confirmed on the night that it wasnt towed, defs stolen :(
Sucks as i live 2.5hrs away so had to get someone to pick me up at 3am :(

But yes its insured, and so far i've been keeping my mind off it by looking for a new one. Thinking of an NL Ghia or EL XR6.

Just sucks there is pricks out there that do this sort of shit..

yeah it was, thank god! i have a few mates that are in the tow business, and when you hear some of the stories of what happens you'd be silly not to!

Everyone thinks that it wont happen to them, but when it does it'll bite you in the arse!

Just thought i'd post an update, they found the car!!!

6 wks later and the car turned up in south yarra!

Dunno how to feel, as its the insurance companies now, coz i just bought a 'Lane. Might not be able to afford to buy it back :(

All the goodies are gone though unfortunately, so if everyone could, keep an eye out for parts?
Main ones are -
17"EL GT's
Pacey 4499's
VGC XR Leather s/wheel
Berklee 2.5" Exhaust
3.89 Open diff (not sure if its still in the car or not - havent seen the car yet)
Also sony XM1S monoblock
Type S splits
MTX 4 channel with a scratch in the silver/chrome bit (one of those amps that you can change the light colour by twisting the knob)

Cheers,
Danny

Shit, that sucks...... Also smartlock isnt hard to bypass as i managed to start my wagon (im only 14) by pulling apart the entire ignition and using a screwdriver to start it, did it within 5 minutes

Don't forget, the only thing that matters is the future
