Why do people do this stuff? It's really not cool. I'm sad to hear this stuff has been stolen from you, but on the upside, you will get it replaced by insurance. Or at least most of it. It's heartbreaking to think that people would do these things to a fellow car enthusiust. They have to have wanted it for their car, or at least they were interested enough to know what the stuff was worth. Good luck getting everything in order. You might want to leave out the system this time. Besides the fact that they just attacked scum like stagnet pond water, they add too much wieght. Sorry this has happend.

lots of reasons for doing it, just non seem logical to us because, for the most part, we have morals and common sense.. Sorry Nik, but other than that how is the project coming along?

I figure it this way take one of my defi guages for an example that thing is about $180 and i only make $14 an hour so it would take me 12.85 hours of work for me to buy another one so i get to beat there asses for 12.85 hour just for that one gauge doesnt that sound fair+ i get my stuff back if not over time

but on a series note i have gotten most of the parts on paper + labor so far its $5980 and i still have to count labor on gauge hook up/install etc

You live in a country that generally doesn't steel stuff. America really sucks sometimes.

You forgot the lunch hour. That is MY time and it is worth FAR more to me than $14/hour. I think you short changed yourself.
