Hard luck.
However, why would the car have spacers when AU's and BA's have the same offset ?? |

Obviously they can still be loaded onto a truck and carted off but someone else said that one was stolen and smashed into trees etc, surely this isn't possible without the key, is it ? |

When you say transponder, what do you mean exactly? What has my BA got that the EL didn't have? The key looks more or less identical to me... Just wondering... |

The AU Series 2 onwards keys are chunkier at the top. There is a chip inside that transmits a unique code to the ignition barrel when you attempt to start the car. E series and AU I have smart lock, AU II onwards it's called smart shield.

this stuff makes me really angry.
hope its found... really nice car mate. I would keep my eyes open, but i like 2.5 hours up from ballarat. But il keep it in the back of my mind. i saw someone breaking into a supra down in footscray, so i drove slowly past and droped revs and stopped the car next to them n beeped the horn n held it for a few secs, strange thing was they had a tow truck to get the car onto, looked real suss. boy did they leave in a hurry! |

Good on you Dan, my mate has recently had his VL knocked off, i was pretty ****ed off. Cops called off the chase due to excessive speed, never seen the car since.
Hope your mate gets his nice ride back. Such a shame. Damn SCUM!
