STOLEN: Voltex Type V 1700mm GT wing for EVO X
 
First off, I am posting this for a friend of mine.
Yes, this was the wing that I used to have on my car, but I've sold it to my friend.

-Voltex Type V 1700mm GT wing for EVO X
-Last seen: 3:00am, August 23rd, 2010 at 272X Napier St, Vancouver (between Kaslo and Slocan).
-Found missing: 3:00pm, August 23rd, 2010.


My friend parked his blue Evo X overnight in front of his house on Napier St., Vancouver, (the block between Kaslo and Slocan), at around 3:00am of August 23rd, 2010. He found out his wing got stolen at around 3:00pm on the same day. They took the wing with the end plates and brackets by unbolting the bottom 4 bolts on the brackets. The trunk bases were not stolen, as they were bolted into the trunk.


Here are pictures of the wing:

I know thieves are stupid, but what do they do with the wing without the bases?

mpr 08-26-2010 06:42 PM

a base is relatively easy to fabricate. the expensive part is the upright and the wingspan.

I've been thinking how is one suppose to make their carbon wing more secure?

Drow 08-26-2010 06:44 PM

i'll help keep an eye on it. shouldnt be too hard to miss

yah good thing u pointed that out cuz knowing revscene and all you'd expect comments like "the thief did u a favor" or some other shit like "you try looking for that at a park?" or maybe even some shit like "you owned that before?" comments like that are unnecessary.

TheStreetDream 08-26-2010 07:00 PM

Woah, I live near ya, Ill keep an eye out for you !

vitaminG 08-26-2010 07:24 PM

for the future i would use some kind of locking nut, like they have on rims

spoon.ek9 08-26-2010 07:35 PM

best of luck finding it. hopefully they're stupid enough to post it up on CL or some local forums.

Mugen EvOlutioN 08-26-2010 07:50 PM

shit first time i hear thives actually steal people's wing, especially one this HUGGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


this wing is massive, shouldnt be hard to spot at all

:bullshit:

Volvoman 08-26-2010 07:51 PM

something this expensive should have anti tamper nuts and bolts.

Shun Izaki 08-26-2010 07:53 PM

thread locker, and lots of it.

that being said, i'll keep on lookout for you man... I know i said i wanted it, but it wasn't me!

VSBB6 08-26-2010 08:01 PM

satek 08-26-2010 08:45 PM

I'll keep an eye out for a custom fabbed mount

Hondaracer 08-26-2010 08:47 PM
