So i got a call from the cops today regarding my ITR that was stolen over 2 years ago. The found a Civic that had my motor in it. vin plates on the motor and tranny were in tact so reading the vin was not a problem.

They didnt find the vehicle but i can have the engine back.

Just goes to show that sometimes good things do happen after being robbed of our valuables.


Sucks i dont have a vehicle to put this in, it will most likely be sold once i take the motor apart and look at the condition and mods done. Seems to be rebuilt.

Been out of the B-series thing for a while, so i dont know exactly how much these motors are worth now. Anyone have a general idea what i can get for it?

 

Glad they found someone to nail for the theft Plenty of ITR shells to pick up and build now that you have a motor

 

Damn that's nuts, after 2 years. Hope that little bitch is sitting in jail right now. Regarding the sale of your motor, it's pretty iffy considering the history of it, who knows how bad that thing was beat on.

Are you getting EVERYTHING back, have you talked to the cops personally yet? (i.e. ECU, axles, wire harness, ect...)

If not I'd call them up and request that you get all of that back, since he needs all of that for the swap into his Civic, explain it all to them. Know what I mean?

 

hopefully the puke that bought your motor will leave a trail right back to the scum that originally stole your R.

 

That IS good news.

 

x1000

 

that's pretty impressive, really pleased for you

as others have said, ask for all the ancillaries back to get the motor running.

I really do hope the little bitch is rotting in jail right now crying and ratting out the thieves he bought the motor from

 

You got some nice luck! May not be the whole car but better than nothing. Are they gonna question the owner of the car? Maybe you can do some detective work now.

 

Something is always better than nothing, that's great news. It's also good to hear cops are investigating in the theft.

 

that's great news!
you better go buy a powerball ticket today!

 

Good to hear cops are good for something.
It occured to me that if the insurance company paid out on the theft, then its their motor.

 

That is pretty kool news... Karma is a Bia...

Pretty sure he was talking about the ******* who had his motor in his Civic.

 

i wish i get the same kind of phone calls

 

I have been through it with the cops, i am getting everything. Motor, tranny, axles, ecu, harness.

The motor has been rebuilt, at least that is what it seems like. aftermarket cam seals. Sounds different from when i had it. some type of aftermarket intake manifold and exhaust manifold.

running different ECU, i read P73. Forgot which ECU that was, B16? ITR?

Dont know whats going to happen to this guy

I was thinking that as well. OP, you should probably touch base with your agent.

 

I wouldnt call insuracee
the cops are giving u ur motor back
take it lol

 

The cops that ive been dealing with were great. My first positive experience with cops. I have a new found respect for them.

Insurance didnt want to pay for my aftermarket equipment. I am trying to get some money back. They dicked me $7k. I left that insurance company after my experience with them. Cops are giving the motor to me. Thats all i know.

 

Interesting that you are getting the engine back and not the insurance company. A friend of mine locally had his ITR stolen, a year later cops found the engine in an EF. He was informed of this, and given names of the people arrested. But the engine went straight to his insurance company since he was already paid.

 

man to hell with insurance company's, glad to see that the cops called u and ur getting ur motor back...not everyday u hear that
