I can't believe a shop would leave a car like that outside. That is insane. Sorry to see that happen to you. Hope everything gets situated quickly.

What's the shop name? i will avoid this place. i've seen the owner of the yellow one around, we swapped thumbs up at the taco bell on division a few months back. hope the parts get recovered.

none of this stuff is yours is it?

ltp on foster. no those are none of the parts. the yellow R is me, what car you driving?

dragon909boi

good luck.... hate it when stuff like this happens at shops.... you'll figure they'll be more cautious

low&slow

Poor R

the idiot is getting a lawyer rather than give you a couple grand ?

something is suspect. honestly 90% of thefts at shops are somehow connected to an employee.

besides what are you doing at any shop besides english racing in the portland area? from now on if you need work done that you can't do, go there. they have night guard, locked up fenced in yards and a lot of cars sleep inside. shop has security and honest people working there

On the first post and the 4th pic I noticed the floor jack next to the car. I'm curious is that's something the thieves left behind or does it belong to the shop? If the shop owns it then what was the jack doing outside overnight in the first place?! Get my drift?

i drive a satin black 88 civic hatch with red pin striping in the molding and black enkei's with a silver lip. right now i have a can on it, probably had my stock exhaust on it when we saw each other. honestly i think the only shop i'd trust with my car (specially if i had an 'R) is Forged or English Racing up in Camas. Or PSI. i have nothing against VIP or PRE just not a fan of their locations

dimo92

no my friend hired a lawyer to go after them. yes english racing is the way to go, the integra was built and tuned by them

It was at light truck parts? No wonder... That is sketchvillllllllle. Lots of shady business's and people in that area.

dimo92

ya no kidding. had to learn the hard way

racebum

really? new to town? that whole area from 82nd all the way out to east gresham is scumville. lots of drugs, thieves and generally bad people. rockwood is probably the worst area of all. i honestly think there is a worse area in the entire portland metro area. it's literally portland's compton

dimo92

no ive been around. the car was there for a couple of weeks with no problems. brought it back because i didnt like the 3rd gear grind. before the guy was able to start working on it, it got stripped
ya defiantly a sketch area. but its my hood lol what can i do

racebum

get a garage and only deal with english. myles {at english} blows up transmission on a near monthly basis he would be the guy i would talk to on integra transmission

you experienced the #1 reason i sold my integra. i had so much expensive **** on that car it made me paranoid leaving it anywhere very long.

worst part about your situation is the rarity of the parts. it's not like clean itr parts pop up on a daily basis.

you always have the jdm option. those interiors are much more available

dimo92

car is garaged on the daily. ya miles built and tuned the r i believe, atleast thats what the previous owner told me

racebum

TJ is the guy who does the tuning but myles is the resident integra guru. cruise up there sometime and get to know the guys. they are a full service shop and can take care of anything on your car that you can't

best part is **** like this won't happen there

DCRB

QFT. plus Jeff Bush's 8 second dsm is always nice to look at any updates for this?

racebum

i haven't been up there since march when i blew up a higher mileage R motor. after that i imported another one and sold the car. buying a c6 next, possibly a c5 z06 if i get a great deal. have 17k saved up and growing

3rdtimecharmer

man that sucks so bad! idk honestly why cant people just leave cars alone.. karmas a bitch they say but in the mean time, it just plain sucks for us at the immediate moment.

3rdtimecharmer

my uncles gsr was stolen couple years back. they followed him to the store, came out car was gone. police found it in 2 pieces and stripped bare.

racebum

just so many dirtballs attracted to these cars and the 97-01 type r is the absolute king of lust by the honda thieves.

if i buy another honda it will probably be a base model rsx for a driver

just want nothing to do with modded hondas, s2000's, type r's or other theft targets. too many other cool cars out there that don't get screwed with all the time

Thats why im glad I live on a guarded military base. I can leave my car out side with the windows down and the keys in the ignition and itll be there when I wake up. and I live in Central Jersey lol.

Type-ARR

I'll never understand why guys on this board who take their R's to get worked on don't tell the shop to keep the car inside... If they cant do that for you find a new shop or just take them the part, i.e. the transmission.

Sorry for the loss, I hate to see it...

macDelli

Thats what i was thinkin.. its obvious that R had quite a bit of money put into it, from what the pics show i'd say your fortunate the motor wasn't tampered with, or worse with enough time spent, stripped

good luck

racebum

i can't figure out why dude didn't take it to english. they tuned his car and have 24 hour guards along with video and keeping the cars inside
