| I picked up what was
left of stolen civic today. It wasn't a pretty sight, as you can see. The
people who took my car were generous enough to give me a nice new shiny
set of 14" stock wheels - thanks guys! On the other hand, they didn't
leave shit for front suspension. So, my car was basically super dumped in
the front because of NO sus. I brought a spare set of front shocks/springs
with me to fix that problem, though. Since these guys decided to wreck my car up, I think I figured out what they did. They ran my car up a red colored curb. There's all this scratched up red paint on the underside of my chassis, especially on the bent up parts. The driverside frame rail is hella-bent inwards, as is the bottom of the rad. support. Here is a list of what these motherfu*kers took from me: • B16A3 DOHC Vtec complete engine w/trans and everything that is needed to do a 5G hybrid. I'm not at liberty to list what I've totally done to my engine as far as upgrades go. • Earl's oil cooler, that I got from a friend of mine for dirt cheap. • Skunkworks ECU • 15" SW388's (Spoon Wheels) on AVS Intermediates 205 series, that belonged to Mr. Bombino. • 1 pair of front Tein HA race sus., thanks to DP (Dan Phan). • APEXi V-AFC, that I still $$ owe to Vinh (VPC). • JDM 'R' shift knob, EB gave me from his JDM trip about a year ago. • JDM EG-6 cluster • 2 ECU's that belonged to Mr. Bombino. • Andy C's Broadway clip-on convex mirror, he gave me. • Steering wheel extender adapte, thanks to EB+Lawrence. • EB's old Sparco steering wheel • The whole center console w/ stock radio+cd player, ITR armrest, rear paneling is gone, my music cd's, vehicle registration papers, and other misc. papers. There's more....my mind is going-a-blank right about now... They didn't take my carpeting. I happened to remove that about 3 months before hand. What really sucks ass.... Is that, a lot of the parts on my car was of sentimental value. I met new people in acquiring some of those parts. I only had 'liability' for insurance on the Sheep. When I got my EG in early 98', it was CX spec for a long time (about a year). So full coverage wasn't a concern at the time. I seemed to overlook that aspect of insurance once I did my hybrid. =( A bit of good news.... My rear sus was all in tact. Meaning, I have half of my Tein HA sus! Better than nothin' if ya' ask me! Also, my rear ITR swaybar was still on there too. The only thing these assholes took from the rear was my 5zigen muffler and Spoon lower tie bar. Epilogue... Well, I believe this is the end of my EG's life. I'll either move onto the next EG or somthing else (mini cooper possibly!). I'm weighing the cost of restoring the Sheep or just buying a new one...somehow. And a lot is leaning towards sellin' the Sheep's chassis. Though, there is a ray of hope to get some of my parts back if all works out. So all is not lost yet.... Marc's ITR was stolen 1 week after my car was stolen. They happened to find his car 3 days after (this past Wed. 9.13.00). His car was way worse than my civic. Luckily, he has full coverage, so he's getting some help unlike me. I'll have some pics of his totalled 'R' sooner or later. I'm not gonna say much more, because I'll soon be ghost (on the net) from now on, about my car life... -Katman |
