so you mean these guys got away with all that stuff in less than 15 mins? well they must have either had it all planned out or alot of people helping, and people run their mouths no matter what...you'll find em i'm sure, but as for the parts, sorry to say hopefully insurance will cover you.

because unless they were marked like with a name, besides the turbo's then you have no way of claiming they are yours, even though YOU know they are. best way to deal with that if you find some of the parts is show up packing a gun and a shovel and let no one leave alive and make sure you don't tell anyone you went somewhere.. no questions = no answers. oh and find a large field surrounded by trees or brush

what an awful thing to have happen

Might not mean anything,but the former tenant of your building sponsored this Honda at the 2003 Nopi Nationals.

DVSX at NOPI Nationals

What are the two things guys love most in this world? If you said "Fast Cars and Porn" you're right on the money! DVSX is proud to annouce the happy union of both "fetishes." Just check out this custom job.
DVSX Owners, Javier Colmenero and Alex Ladd, have sponsored a car in the NOPI Nationals Motorsports Supershow, which takes place September 20th and 21st 2003 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Georgia. The car will be on display for this two day event in the Brown Section, Space #D-2396.


This prize-winning custom "4 Stage Candy Paint 1996 Honda Civic" beauty belongs to Jonah, owner and driver at this year's event, who is sporting the sponsor of his wet dreams: DVSX. The engine is a "Full Built All Motor Type R" with Stealth Run Wiring Harness and a speed of 12.8 sec. in a quarter mile run!

Jonah's civic won "Honda of the Year" in December 2002 at the Import Showoff in Bellflower, California.

DVSX would like to invite you to stop by and check out the custom ride and pick up some free DVSX goodies, DVD's, Posters, Stickers, etc. Look for DVSX and Jonah at future car shows coming to your area.

Sometimes justice happens on its own. Example. My buddy built a new house. Was ready for drywall. Some thieves came in and stole all the wiring and anything copper. Ten grand and tow weeks later the house was finally drywalled and finished. A month after the theft a guy was electrocuted steeling wiring out of a grain elevator that was live 220. Police go to his house. In his garage was my buddies small toolbox with his name on it. Which was in the new house and was also missing. He sure was happy.

Hope these idiots get caught trying to fence any of the parts. Unfortunately its the nature of the beast in the performance world for low lifes always looking for a free ride.

Any news yet Mike?

Very sorry to hear of this right now.
It seems to be the trend that idiots just try to take whats not theirs.

Time for a "shop dawg".
Typhool can hook you up,
Felon would have torn some shit up. ;)

yes it is i have been messing with honda's on the side for a while now and a stock ITR swap like what he has would best and 14.0-13.70 (depending the driver) in a hatchback, to run a 12.8 in a civic coupe takes some serious cams, compression and head port work.

you would spend about $1500 on cams another 1500-2000 on portwork and another 500-1000 in the bottom end for good high compression pistons a a full rebuild and if it's re sleeved and has a guard job another 1200-1500, but that bitch will still get 35mpg on a bad day....but it's still a honda (SSSSHHHHH don't tell my other domestic cars i work on honda's )

I don't think those guys were ever tenants in our current building. Never even heard of them. Where did you find that info? Got a couple leads we are working on but i'll keep the specifics quiet.

There was obviously several people involved, but their motives are unclear. Grap a bunch of cheap stuff when inches away right in front of you are parts half the size and 10x the value. wtf ???

anyways, here are some pics from the fires yesterday

Shit.
You are a nicer guy than me.
I would have kept a handi-cam in the desk for days like that. lol

And please update us when they catch these fools.
Hope those prints match up to something feasible.

Do the wastegates look like the ones on your site? There's a bazillion different styles out there. I just want to know what to be looking out for.

Damn Mike, you've been through a lot this week :( Sounds like it could have been a lot worse, though. Glad it worked out with the house and you were able to help save the horses. Hang in there...

did anybody recently do a fire extinguisher survey?? i have heard of shops and warehouses letting some fake extinguisher survey crews come in and scope the place out and a few days later they get broken into. they tried doing it to our warehouse and when i asked for ID since i have the keys to the fire controls room they couldn't provide so i asked them to leave ASAP or i would call the police.

nope. thanks for bringing that up though.

one thing thats funny is every single wastegate they stole is worthless, b/c they are missing a part. Not gonna say what it is, but you can't buy the piece.

They also got away with some high end camera lenses, and a box of black anodized fuel filters (aeromotive style).

thanks again to everyone for thier conserns and help spreading the word.
