Stolen parts...grrrr....
Hey guys, I hope you can help me out with this. I am the Ontario admin and rep for ClubEL - obviously a club dedicated to Acura EL's, though we do have many non-EL drivers in our ranks. Last night I had to ban two members who were dealing in stolen parts; specifically they were dealing in stolen Acura EL parts. Thing is I know how easily 1.6 and 1.7EL front ends can be swapped onto 6th-and-7th-gen Civics respectively, and I'm worried that even though they are no longer part of ClubEL, they may be continuing their activities and going to other car clubs/forums to peddle their wares. So those of you who are on this board and others, if you happen to come across anyone selling what seems to be a disproportionately large number of Acura EL parts, please let me know.
This overdue vigilance as of late is because I was informed of these stolen parts dealings last night, a few weeks after the first of several thefts/break-ins on other members' rides within my club. Of course I cannot physically link a set of parts to a gutted car, especially since the cars are in the process of being restored and the parts are long gone. But this sort of thing bothers me to no end, I actually got no sleep last night, thinking "what if they read my profile on ClubEL and if they spot my car what will they do?" So please, help me stop the violation of Acura EL's in the GTA, and let me know if you hear of any hot (or even slightly warm) EL stuff for sale. Thanks guys!

I'm pretty sure the 6th gen front ends + hood, and 6th/7th gen trunk lids are the most prized possessions that these thieves would be peddling... They're the most recognizable parts of the EL, and would surely look sweet molded onto a Civic....
Thank goodness no punk would want my car; I've got more bird shiet and scratches on my car than a 10 year old rental car.

Rep Power: 0 Good work Will, post this in as many places as you can to get the word out. Have you posted anything on TCC? Reason I ask is that one of the people banned from clubEL is on there and has been for quite some time.

Rep Power: 0 I'll post on the Yahoo AcuraEL newsgroup. Though, the guys on there are usually honest people that have no clue about cars that much..... Not to say they're stupid, most of them are not the kind to buy parts from anyone other than the dealer... like me

Rep Power: 343 I know where both of them live and frankly I don't want to start any vigilante action with them. However, one of them threatened to "ruin" the life of another member of ours for exposing him, and if that should escalate, then a ClubEL beatdown meet may be necessary.

Rep Power: 343 Area is Ellesmere and Meadowvale - that's where the guy is at, although I'm sure he's smart enough to know you don't **** where you eat.
He's also a member of TCC, under username Team Rukus or something like that.
