Any help greatly appreciated.

At 7pm this evening, my Icelle Blue Evo VI, reg no H15 CRP was stolen from the Crowne Plaza Birmingham NEC car park.
Externally the car looks standard apart from silver Evo VIII Enkei wheels and one piece headlights. There are no graphics on the car at present (other than a few small wallaceperformance stickers), the only time attack giveaway is a scrutineering slip inside the front screen.

There are a huge amount of other identifying part though, so please be aware if you see it or are offered any parts - Forged 4G64 2.4, black AMS inlet manifold and fuel rail, PE 1000cc injectors, AEM fuel reg, bosch 044 fuel pump, ETS HTA35R turbo kit (3 days old!), Greddy intercooler, modified blitz nur spec exhaust, Ohlins R&T, black AP 6 pot fronts, 2x twin SPA gauges, Power FC with hand commander on display, black AVC-R, glove box pc with single din touchscreen monitor and digital TV tuner, LM1 wideband kit, aquamist water injection, racetech 40 battery, one-off intercooler pipework, cusco braces ( top upper and rear upper 3 points, boot floor brace, lower 2 point and lower 5 point), ingalls stiffy, RS rear diff, metallic blue rocker cover with breather set up and cusco can, coil-on-plug, ralliart mat set including boot mat (boot also had some tools and an LM1 case and kit in it) MLR front and rear black seat cover set etc etc etc!
I'm sure there is more that I've forgotten about, but I'll add to this when I can.

I've owned this car for around 5 years and put a huge amount of time into it and over 100k miles on it. It would mean alot to me if I could get it back.
As I said, any help greatly appreciated.

Please either contact me or Solihull Police.

Thanks.

You never know, It could turn up anywhere in the country so thought I would post it up on here.

sounds expensive, hope he gets it back!

Saw this on the MLR, shocking how many EVO's are being stolen at the moment.

Bit of an update off MLR

As I said, the turbo kit had just been fitted, we hadn't even had time to pipe the screamer pipe back in yet, so it is extremely loud when opened up. It will be easy to spot if driven hard.
Was making 550bhp at 1.8 bar....

The police have been very helpful so far, and reckon the CCTV footage will be of some use - the thieves arrived in an impreza.
There is a ticket and barrier system, but there is a free 15min so taxis can come and go. The impreza went out and one of the occupants forced the barrier to stay up in order to get my car out.

I have been told that no tracker or security system would've helped, such is the ability of these thieves, and to be thankful I wasn't with the car


Sounds like professional thieves involved. No doubt the Impreza was stolen also.

[raelmadrid]

sub-human scum

[liveseytowers]

He's got to be gutted, must have pumped ££££'s into this car. I think this is the one from last years Time Attack at Knockhill. The cars are loud enough with the screamer pipe so how loud will it be if he's not fitted the pipe for it yet lol

[RSV]

Wonder if his insurance covers all the extras he's fitted or if he's looking at just getting the value of a standard evo back???

Watch out Herman

If that is a pic of his car iit's very nice

I'd like to think the mods where declared as it was a Time Attack car so pretty well known but i doubt he'll get back what he spent on it. Say if you spend 1k on mod's it won't add 1k worth of value to a car.

Real shame and I hope it's picked up in one piece, I recall having my custom Calibra nicked early 90's and it really is something that would make you want to commit murder if you catch the fuckers.

Mine ended up being ridden all over Devon for most the night with cops in tow till the thieving git wrapped it round a tree without killing them all.

[Over Carl]

That is sad. I've only had 3 piles of shite nicked off me, and even then I felt gutted every time. Hope they find your car and the cunts that took it.

I have been told that no tracker or security system would've helped,

Strange that as mine had the rac trackstar guardian, it was monitored 24/7 and could be immobilised by a phone call even if they had the keys !! they phoned me up when I was on a ferry saying they had been alerted to a vehicle movement while the system was armed... fair enough if they had the alarm code and de activated it but it could still be found when you alerted the tracking company...

If they were that organised it'll be on crimewatch soon enough and TBH fellaz I wouldn't want it back after they had it.. Gutted for him though.. nice motor

[Sanj[UK]]

Are Evos easy to steal? I am ALWAYS hearing about evos being stolen...and theres me thinking about getting a evo 6

I have no idea how professional thieves get around these systems. I am assuming that the police have told him this.

[XBOX4LIFE]

It would be nice to know what they had to make it so easy mate, scary thought that they can just turn off anything, sort of spoils the point of spending £££ to secure the fooker in the first place

[eblaster101]

a lot of cars have security holes but people are reluctunt to talk about it on forums in case theifs read it. Unlucky about your car i hope you get it back.

[Waka]

A few years ago my BMW convertible was nicked...Thatcham immobiliser/alarm and from right outside my house. The alarm didn't go off and I know they didn't start the car. I guess if crooks really want a car they will get it no matter what security you have :-(

i dunno how true this story really is but i remember years ago the editor of a car audio magazine writing bragging about his car security in an issue of the magazine. The next issue came out and it was a very different editorial. He had got up one morning, turned the house alarm off (which covered the garage), turned the car alarm off, unlocked the doors and got in. On the passenger seat was his car stereo, neatly removed from the dash with a note on it

"Don't take the piss, if we want it, we'll have it"

[Bodman]

When XR3i's were the rage (god I feel old now) My mate had his Wheel clamp, Gear Stick Multi Lock, chain around steering wheel and alarm, removed and left on his next door neighbours door step (must have thought it was his house)....but the car was found 7 miles away as it ran out of petrol ...LOL

If thieves really want a car they will take it. Apparently they are ordered. So the thieves go and find one then steal it. Its clever how they do it. but bad news for us normal folk.
