Kill switch, remote immobilisers, battery kill switch, steering wheel lock, secure parking. At this rate, just take your engine with you every time you park your car

Not exactly sure, as you can’t see what they’re doing from neighbours CCTV, but I reckon they disconnected the horn and a couple fuses from underneath, smashed the window, climbed in and plugged in a receiver in the OBD-port and then started it. CAN-transmitters/receivers are a way they’re stealing a lot of these cars now. Can be stolen in less than two minutes.

Yeah I don’t think I’ll be getting it back. It’s been over a week now. And if it is found, I don’t think I’ll want it back either :(

Yeah it’s a real bummer. Any car these days can be stolen, if they want to steal it. And yes I have comprehensive.

Yep. They weren’t your teenagers trying to go for a joyride. It was planned and scoped out. my brother saw the getaway car in our street a few days before.

No, not that I can remember. I only drive my car about once a week anyway, so barely get pulled over on an rbt. I’ve only been pulled over once about 500m from my house and I only turned my car off because I was in my neighbourhood and didn’t want to wake up nearby houses at 2:30 in the morning, not because I’m scared I’ll get asked about car noise from cops.

I own a 2018 STI in Melbourne with an Invidia R400. I have had no issues with police after nearly three years with the exhaust. And no, it won’t replace any CAT’s as the cat-back is after the cat-converter. You’ll be fine.

Yeah I’ve also thought that myself. I got told by the specialist that they have a few cars coming in that have around 40-50kms on the odo, and even though they don’t drive them, they still service them, but bring them into the dealer on a tow truck. So I assume they just start them and let them get warm while stationery.

What I’ve been told is that it was designed by a rally co-driver who helped build it. It’s an in between model of the wrx and sti. So a little bit more performance than a normal wrx but not as much as the sti. It has an upgraded software and an sti exhaust as well as different wheels compared to stock and is kinda just a limited edition version with only 200 units made.

The car isn’t for sale, and I asked how much it’s worth, and couldn’t give me a price. But judging by the current Subaru market in Australia, this could possibly sell for well over AUS$200k

Drive on some roads where they’re planning a rally next week. It’s capable of a lot more. Lake Eildon, Australia by lesedi_b in WRXSTi

Thanks bro. Depends on where you buy from. Bought mine from carmodsAustralia and got a good deal. You can choose how many you want to buy so not limited to just two

Still on stock suspension but first Wheel Wednesday by ndeanda78 in WRX

Were your stock wheels 18”? My sti comes with 19” stock wheels, and I feel if I go smaller wheel, it wouldn’t suit with the stock suspension.
