Rare Car Stolen Whangarei in last few days

Postby BGOSNZ » Sun Sep 07, 2014 10:02 pm

Hi, My mates very rare Race Car has been stolen from Whangarei in the last few days- He is away at work so is not sure of exact date.

If any one sees it or hears of parts of it being offered around please do the right thing and call the boys in blue.

Thanks

Bastards. Seen this on stuff the other day. Out of interest what was the engine? If it is a jap GTSR then it should be redtop rb20det, or Aussie GTS a chipped rb30e, but the article says 2.4 so I'm kind of guessing L24ET? either way mongrels could've found a usable engine without needing to steal such a rare performance icon.
