I just had this link sent to me and was baffled. This car was at our shop about 4 weeks ago. We made some small repairs to the body of it for them and the car is absolutely gorgeous in person. I just done see how anyone could have not noticed this thing.
www.performancepartszone.com is the link about it

 

that sucks....shouldn't be too hard to find though

 

You wouldnt think it would be hard to find. We drove it around here and the thing almost causes accidents on the road from people gawking at it

 

THe only thing they could really take would be the Turbo'ed K20, the seat/harness' and the cheap stereo. Seriously, the car doesnt have 2k worth of stereo in it, very basic. The body kit is a custom made sheetmetal widebody that is panel-bonded and welded onto the car. Be hard to salvage that if they removed it.

 

You can't just drive it around town - gotta be in a truck or something - if they chop it up it's like smashing a big diamond - sure you get little chunks but the value is the orginal stone itself -

 

meh, it's just a Honda, no big loss (I kid I kid, that was pretty stupid though, if you're going to jack a show car go after something worth more than that, odd thing to steal indeed)

 

yes very strange steal

 

its gone now... most likely if they wont find it within a few hours, its already parted and distributed... lol... they might be lucky and find a chopped/sawed up civic body at the junk yard.

edit: theyre not going to leave any evidence at all. thats why i said theyve already parted everything out. the body itself will be cut into peices.

 

that is why you get a lojack system.....

 

yea... that car is gone. they probably stripped out everything and are putting it on ebay...

 

Most likely stripped that car naked and lose its virginity from the steet. Raped! Oh well, It could have been an inside job to steal it!

 

It would be tough to be an inside job. There is only one guy that has the keys to that trailer and he was parked with other trailers carrying show cars, he just happened to have 4 on his. He had the c/f Cwest S2000, the Valvoline STI, and the Chargespeed wide body, rhd, WRX on the trailer along with the Civic. I guess the civic was the last to get loaded again.

Anyways, they found the trailer locks broke adn lots of pry marks on the trailer doors.

 

I stole it just to blow the damn thing up. Haha, they'll never find it now.

 

Or it's another elaborate marketing ploy...

 

It cant hurt them to have their name plastered all over the place for free (minus the loss of the car of course) but the guy that drives the trailer called my office last night and is freaking out cause the car got stolen under his watch.

 

We're talking about that ugly Civic from the link right? Who gives a **** about a Civic being stolen? I thought this thread was going to be about some amazing show car that was stolen.

 

In person it is a very nice car. Im not a fan of the civic, but the fabrication that went into that car is amazing. I like it more for its engineering and fabrication than for the actual car itself.

 

i think the civic is a great car. cheap and reliable. i dont however see putting 5 times the cars value in add on parts to make it something it isnt.

 

How easy is it to hot wire and drive that thing without its keys?

Can it be rolled by two or three guys to get it off truck and onto some other carrier?

Has a reward been offered for it being seen or parts found - sort of a real treasure hunt?

Why didn't they take any of the other machines?

 

Lojack is only good for one hour.

Range is 50 to 100 miles.

In that amount of time it is in Mexico, or a sheltered building/Van that blocks the GPS signal.

Or maybe they have a GPS jammer.

 

Wow, its not exactly like that thing wouldn't stand out. Shouldn't be too hard to find, unless its parted out by now.

 

man that was the sexiest civic i ever seen too!!
