An RSX dies, and rises again... *Pics*
This happened to a guy locally here in Denver. Thought I would share this story with the rest of you...
It was parked in front of the house - I seldom park there usually it is in the garage, but I had parked there most of the week. I don't know how they did it - either they had a key or replaced the ECU/Immobilizer and hotwired it. But there was no glass and no signs that anything had happened - aside from the vacant parking spot. I doubt it was a flatbed job because the dogs would have gone nuts. I am not angry yet, but I have put soooo much time and money into that car, I am bummed All I can hope for is that if they find it with either very little damage done, or it is totalled out - cause I don't want to be making car payments on a theft recovery.
Here is a list of the things that will fetch decent resell:
Sparc Evo2 seat - fiberglass
Quaife limited slip differential
Toda fightex coilovers
Hotchkis 25mm sways F&R
Hotchkis rear upper control arms
DC Sports front titanium STB
Cusco rear STB
Greddy SP2 stainless exhaust
Random tech high-flow cat
DC Sports ceramic header
Rota Slipstreams w EcstaMX 205/55-16
AEM V2 intake
J's racing torque damper
Autopower rollbar
Hondata #4 ECU (doubt they can use it w/o keys)
There is a LOT more, but these are the ones that will fetch the most money . . .

This guy decided to buy it back from insurance and turn it into a stripped race car

Those thieves knew what they were doing... that stuff is probably on eBay right now as used.
