Sorry if this may seem like I'm posting this in the wrong section, but I'm hoping that people looking for parts might also run into parts from this car.

$5000 reward for info leading to the return of this car.
Stolen Saturday March 19th at 12:15am.

Trailer containing car was stolen by a dark colour pick up in Toronto. Trailer was recovered at Hwy 400 & 89 Sunday morning @ approx. 7:99am.

please email booyah@waffle.ca with any info. that closely match what the car had please let us know.

We don't care about the money that we have lost, what we care about is loosing 3.5 years of hard work and labour. Even if you are the person who stole the car, we are willing to look the other way to get it back.

Things to keep an eye out for are:

Hey brown kid,

The place the car was stolen from was locked up nice and tight.

Now, I don't want to reveal to much. It is very possible that the people responsible for this crime are reading the local GTA forums.

The police are doing their thing, and we don't want to reveal anything that might help the theifs.


Cheers,

even if they did have an alarm on the car you can still use a bypass to get in , thats how my van got stolen and all the music inside, and we had an alpine deck dvd player, lcd screens , rockford amp, 3 subs, and it had a viper alarm on it.

stolen car

hey man i feel for you. I can only imagine how it feels to lose something you put soo much time in. It makes me mad... i dont undersand these people... its really too bad. question...was it a sealed trailer?like box style or like an open one where you car sits on top. because if it was sealed then it could be someone you know. or just really good luck that they guessed to steal your trailer. for everyone else.... just get boomerang and a shot gun and also sleep in your car. =P

ill keep an eye out
good luck though!!

Thank you very much for the kind words guys.

The car was in a trailer, and it was a fully enclosed trailer. The thought that this was pre-meditated has come across our minds.

Yeah it really sucks. The car is not mine, it's a friends. Although we have all put work into. So as a group we are all seriously depressed. We've spent about 3.5 years in the car, and it was looking like it was this summer when we were going to get it fully tuned to find out it's full potential.

Even with the ecu not setup properly and at low boost, the car was amazingly fast. The worst part though is that there is not much on the car that the person can sell. Most of the value is in the work that was done. Like we spent a lot of time hiding the wiring harness so that you don't see it under the hood. The wiring harness was a single plug, so when you wanted to yank the motor out you didn't have to unplug a bunch of plugs.

It's stuff like that, which can't be sold, and we'll probably never get back.

Boostgod, the guy that did majority of the work on this car is very good. He made custom brackets to get the porsche calipers to fit. One of the hard parts though was getting rims that fit the calipers but didn't rub on the fenders.

There are many many many places on the car that have been modified like that. If you look at the photos you can see the slots cut into the front bumper. Eventhough the slots are on the side, the slots are for the rad. Why? Because the rad we relocated to the side of the engine bay so that an h22 could fit in the engine bay with a turbo, and using a nice drag turbo manifold, not one of those cast iron log ones.

Then it just gets crazier from there, like custom made rad overflow, oil catch cans, and even custom made washer fluid reservoir.

The car was a thing of beauty, it's a shame now that it's probably cut up into little bits.

i had 6-7 years into my delsol and it got taken the one night i wasnt keeping my window open as my room is right next to my car. I only got my car back after the fact i left it with absolutely no gas in it the night before (worked an allnighter and was too lazy to fill up) . the best way to get it back is to talk about it to each and everyone you know and if someone knows something itd be them as its definitely somebody you know. I never causght my thieves but I did get my car back after a local parts rep told me he saw it on his way in from work... with alil luck and good word of mouth you should have her home. GL and hope u get her back.
