chris07, did you notice your temp. Gauge raising at all? Was your radiator leaking before it blew out like that? Or was it completely intact with no leaks and all of a sudden it gave out?

Unfortunately this is my IS F right now. Some lowlife broke into the shed where she lives, smashed the driver's door window, grabbed the GPS and radar detector from the windscreen, and then took off in a hurry with the alarm blaring. All the thousands of small pieces of glass should be cleaned up and a new window fitted on Thursday. Until then this is her sad condition.

I hope that low life trips and falls on the edge of the curb with their mouth open, leading to a painful smashing of all his/her effin teeth.

Hate pos people like that.

Very unfortunate to see this happen. But even though it's not the owner's fault, leaving such valuables to be seen in plain sight made it an easy target. I try to make it a habit to tuck stuff where no one can see it or leave it in the trunk altogether. Couple that with tinting my front windows and windshield helps with keeping leering eyes away from inside the car. Best of luck on the repairs.

Fitted a (pre-owned) Borla exhaust, but found a nice crack on the outlet wall of the resonator. Anyone have an opinion on if I should just get the crack welded shut?

Yep, we rented a lift by the 1/2 hour and we weren't having much success with detaching the parking sensor harnesses. Decided to cut our losses and alleviate the stress on the loom, so we ghettofied it.

This is actually really funny, its like an ISF fail of the day. How much do they charge for a half hour of rent?

Lol I'll take a fail of the day over the $18/half hour fee. No damage done, so all is fine by me

Ba@&ards!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to see this mate.

No one deserves to find this.

I know it can be repaired, but it's still a horrible thing to find.

Hopefully the lowlife gets his at some point soon. Hung, drawn and quartered would work!

Hope the clean-up goes ok.

Cheers.

Sorry, I can't see how it was an easy target. It was inside a locked garage, with no windows nearby. There were no valuables in plain sight. The lock on the access door to the garage was smashed first, followed by the driver's door window.
