Rick B. Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 about 3 weeks ago my car was almost stolen. i have a car alarm which is what saved it. at about 630 in the morning two guys with screwdrivers pried open my driver door lock and opened the driver door. they set off the alarm which woke me up and they ran off to a car that was idling across the street and drove away. since then ive had to fill my driver door lock with super glue to keep it from being opened with a screwdriver. what are some inexpensive ways to safeguard my car more. im trying to save up for a lojack system. my loss would have been this: -Two Black tenso-r bucket seats -1995 obd1 GSR engine -Competition street clutch -Competition aluminum flywheel -JDM GSR transmission -Skunk2 intake manifold -Skunk2 66mm Race throttle body -Skunk2 titanium adjustable cam gears -Skunk2 OBD@ to OBD1 conversion harness -P28 ECU upgrade -Skunk2 spark wire cover -NGK Type R spark plugs -AEM cold air intake for 2000 civic SI -DC civic SI headers 4-2-1 -OEM Type R throttle cable with bracket -Apex VAFC2 vtec controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shishpanik Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 In South Africa they have a security system for cars that shoots flames on unwanted intruders. I wish that was legal in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squashua Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 That really is a sweet alarm system. A friend of mine had it on his prelude at our H.S. and just about anytime that a car...simple car...would drive by it would go off. It has a setting to where you can set how sensitive it is. I almost got it for my car...then I got into a wreck...*sigh* (not my fault by the way, Lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squashua Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Actually, no it's not lojak, Lol. The system he told me that he used was clifford. He got it from Ultimate Electronics. I don't know if you guys have that there or not, but ya...that was the name of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xer0 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 you can put a cut off switch on your starter. or if u want a lil fancyer get one of thoes remote switches form pepboys and use that for your cut off siwtch, now the switch isn't even in the car to be found.

xxscaxx Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 cut off switch or lojack. the only two ways (best ways imho) you could lessen the chance of being stolen. even with them it still can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
