Well not yet Sasha

 

well sad to say but a evo 8 is not a normal car to drive sti is in a very bad stage were it is compatible to its wrx so best thing to do besides alarm and all the gadget please people get another car to drive around avvoid malls and especially car clubs where some may follow or at least check and last get strapped as i do just in case

 

sorry to hear that... that sux

 

Yellowfever, thanks my friend would love any help you can give him. I don't think I mentioned it but that is where he bought the car from.

 

I'll keep an eye out if I find out anything

 

First Picture after the recovery! The car is all locked up at the body shop so I couldn't see it very well hence the picture that doesn't show much. All I could really see was the missing dash console the broken tail light and the damage on the rear bumper (worse than it looks in the picture). My friend said there is body damage on the driver side rear, I couldn't tell to what extent. I saw a lot of brake dust on the wheels, they defiantly beat on it. Not Cool!

 

Still in the body shop...

 

The Body Shop said it will be atleast another 4 weeks till the car is ready.

 

another 4 weeks ... what kinda bodyshop is that

 

I guess there is a lot of damage. There may be some suspension damage. The body shop is a very reputable one out in Morris County and they tend to deal with high end cars.

 

from readin all the stuff on this forum it seems like NJ is pretty crime enthused, i never been there so i dont know but it seems like alot of bad **** happens to Evos n STis there, cant imagine the overall cars that get jacked up there.

 

I bought a car with one of those. It was a Grant removeable steering wheel with lock. Totally lame. A Sparco detatchable race wheel wouldn't be too bad.

I worry about my Evo because of stories like this. Oh well, shoot em in the leg first, ask questions later.... then shoot em in the other leg.

 

Parts of NJ are really bad! Like anywhere else i guess, you have some good areas and some bad.

 

Glad to hear about the recovery. Hunt those theives down!!!!!

 

My condolences. Thank goodness I live in the Cherry Hill/Marlton area with all the wealthy people with Bimmers, Vettes, Porsches,and occasional Viper and Lambo. Unless you get someone from Camden or Philly just waiting for a victim. I think if you ever find who stole it, your friend should take his new STi and say "You want an STi?" and just run him over back and forth. I know I am an Evo owner and am sometimes at odds with STi owners, I still respect the cars and people who drive them. And when someone gets his/her car stolen, I have sympathy for them. I don't care if you own an Sti, Cobra, S2000, RX8. We may be competitors on the track, but when it comes to personal matters we are all enthusiasts.
