Stolen!

That truly sucks, sorry to hear your car got ripped off.

Haven't seen it around here but will definitely let the cops know if I do. Make sure to let us know how it goes though. 

I only have one picture, from the PO, but it should give the general idea.



Probably parked somewhere waiting to be found by now. I sure hope it gets called in soon.

No, no word. And my order from Rodney Dickman just arrived yesterday...

High speed pursuit...be interesting to hear the story.  If you need a steering column or repair we all know the guy...Russell in Langley, there is a thread on him, he has several Fiero Columns and parts to fix.

Sorry to hear the hassle you are going through...keep us posted

Yep just goes to show, if you drive a Fiero in the lower mainland, you need to have some sort of anti theft device in the car.   In most cases even something simple like a club on the wheel will deter car thief's, as they will just move on to an easier target.  However I really like having my Keyless entry / starter disable alarms.  One button, I hear a chirp and know all my doors are locked and the starter is disabled. 

Waylon sells & installs ALARMS, STEREOS!
He's also a WCF member here and installed many alarms and stereos
( also did my, and he's the best)

Easy way to disable the car and it will cost you about 1/2 hour of your time, a bit of wire, and a $2.00 toggle switch. Splice the toggle into the fuel pump relay behind the air cleaner and put the switch in the cabin some place. Simply turn it off and the car will never start. Done deal.

This is the confusing part for me!!

Apparently stock GTs can outrun the po-leese!

Whoda thunk it?

Good to hear your car was found though.. and not rolled stripped burned or smashed!!

I have to 2nd what the good doctor has to say, when a car is stolen, the term "Drive it like you stole it" really earns its marks. 

 If a person does not care about what they do to the car, they can do an infinite amount of damage in a very short time.   IE running it off curbs, attempting to drift it, attempting burn outs, redlining the engine repeatedly.  Parts can become severely worn but not yet fail, so you will get the car back and a month down the road, the engine will throw a rod bearing, or a ball joint will sheer off due to stress.   Have all the motor mounts, suspension mounts and everything else you can think of checked for stress cracks.     

Also along the lines of a disabler, I would make yourself comfortable with the fuse panel and pull out at the very least the fuel pump fuse, if not both of the fuses for the V6 fuel injection, and if you are in a really bad place, pull out the coil wire.   Oh and don't leave spare fuses in the car. :)  

I had the opportunity to check my car out today. Nothing stolen, thankfully. Body and interior seemed to basically be in the same condition they had been. Driver's side window and dew wipe got messed up a bit, as well as the driver's side GT window.

I had filled my tank right before it got stolen and I reset the odo because I'm checking out what kind of mileage the car gets, so I can tell that it has been driven about 240 kms. For that drive, the @#$% must not have been able to see the bright red BRAKE light, because my hand brake doesn't work anymore. Rear tires went from like-new to hardly there. Couldn't tell anything else from the brief time I had with the car.

If anyone has any recommendations for a Langley area shop that'd be good for giving the car a solid looking-over I'd love to hear it.


But anyways! It's back, and should be back in ship-shape pretty soon. I'm looking forward to the next meet.
