youngkadafi · 06-21-2008, 06:10 PM

They can use a grip on that, without a sweat.

The question is, do they target 100% stock cars like they do hondas?

Slip&Sliden 240 · 06-21-2008, 07:27 PM

I got an alarm its no paging alarm but my car sits in the driveway outside my window, with my Titan in front of it, fuel pump cut off and this...

Two 3/4" concrete bolts with chain runs through both loops on both bolts and around the rear lower control arms.

I agree with both sides. We should be able to protect our home, family and property. But now this isnt the case, they can take what ever they want. By law you cant touch/accuse them, and that will never change. So preventing them from getting into the car- non violently is the only route we have.

Some thief tried to sue someone from my area for cutting himself on the broken glass. so becareful.

Bolt cutters>Chain Good Idea if you had something that was not cuttable with out lots of work.

S13_Nightkid · 08-06-2008, 10:51 AM

my shit is 100% stock. I still keep it in the garage. Im too lazy to look up Virginias laws on using my 2nd amendment right on somebodys ass if they try to steal it. Fuck that take no chances.

deadghost · 09-04-2008, 05:01 AM

There is this stupid ass fucker who is a drug dealer who tried stealing my rims off my daily a while back, the kid was so fucken stupid that he tried to pulling the rims off while there was lug locks with his so called tool, then he thought he could just pull them with out cement block, the kid got caught and ran off. he is a major thief in socal and a stupid one too. And a little note he is a fucken gay ass ricer who "get this" drives a black mitsu eclipse with hyandi rims (he denies that they are) and blue under glow, he thinks he has a evo exhaust that he paid a hundred bucks for, and he totaled his so called 240 and tells people that he is a so called car enthusiast when he really does not even know NOTHING about his car. His name is CHRIS WALTERS and here is a link to his myspace.MySpace.com - [â™*][email protected]$&spades;W0LtErS - 20 - Male - California - www.myspace.com/11622839 thats the fag, keep a look out

*downshift_sideways* · 09-04-2008, 11:44 AM

Good looking out. I'll be sure to lay him out if I ever catch him on the flip in Norcal.

stiizy · 09-04-2008, 11:53 AM

i'd fuck that dude up if i ever caught him!!

Om1kron · 09-04-2008, 12:19 PM

less internet talk and more... well who cares.

I need to get my alarm installed, shit if I'm going to be dumping close to 7 grand in rebuilding and piecing together a turbo system for a 12 year old car I might as well get this done.

I've had it just never got around to installing it LOL

HyperTek · 09-04-2008, 12:38 PM

so people know potential thieves... and why isnt he forwarded over to the authorities?

punxva · 09-04-2008, 01:21 PM

i have that shirt he does... but seriously everything in this thread is good information, if you want to keep your shit, then pay to play and secure it the right ways...

Trust me I would, but I have no evidence, but its ok, I am looking at this at a very much different perspective: zilvian justice is going to be served...................

Disable door locks, use your alarm to unlock your doors. Block off your hood release with barbwire or metal sheets. Secure your trunks. Hid your wiring using layers of loom/electrical tape/aluminum loom secured with stainless worm clamps, and zip tied securely.

Once you kill a circuit, you need to secure the source. Disable all 12v outputs such as the cig lighter. Tint the windows, disable any interior lights. Your alarm should NOT be under the dash. Kill as many low current grounds as possible that prevents the car from starting. Do NOT pull the ECU fuse or ECU itself.

The QR is decent if your parking for short periods of time, and it helps to not have Power steering. But from the sounds of it, even with a frozen rack, they could still turn the car pin to pin with a certain clamp with ease.

Quick question for you all. On a 100% stock automatic S14, whats the chances a theif will target this car? Granted I live in a very liberal state, Where if you happen to walk up on a theif in action your either ;
Getting shot, and he does no time because you said a racist remark - Hate crime act
-Getting taken to court and sued for you car anyway because you said a racist remark. And you WILL lose. The officer will release your info to a theif, and a lawyer will be at your door the next day- No evidence needed.

You boys in the south- every day I envy you.

sorry to bring this old reply up, but why not pull the ecu? I usually do that when I leave my car somewhere for more than 5-10 mins

HyperTek · 09-06-2008, 01:34 AM

deadghost i know what you mean.. cops wont do shit if you said you saw a crime commited without another witness or recorded proof of it..

Thanks hypertek, I have friends and family who are in law enforcement, and its true, all they can do is write down a report and thats prob it. Ex. hit and runs, I can even start on that.

Its true, if they want your car or whats inside they can get it BUT my theory if you can stall them long enough you can use the element of time against them. You are not going to see some guy trying to break into your car with the alarm screaming at a high level and him breaking the glass (with tint) and trying to hot wire your (assuming that you do the kill switch, and you go all out) car for over a hour, worst comes to worst the fucker might grab your stereo and speakers. Make it hard for him to break in, no way he is going to spend 2 hours trying to figure out your electronic wires, or what ever the hell he needs to do to get your car moving. This being said if it were to be attempted to be stolen from a random area, no access for a tow truck, you have a tilt sensor, or you got it chained to the ground. Keep in mind that In theory you want to prolong the theft to the point that it will waste too much time rendering the theft pointless and too risky. Some tell me if this is a good idea or not or if any one wants to add on.

turbocrazy07 · 10-23-2008, 11:19 PM

funny rant. and seriously, if you love your car....... buy an alarm. A quick release may deter the opportunist who is looking for an easy steal. anyway kill switches are good too

+1 on that...
i think its a good idea...
within hours of bringing my car back home from the previous owner, the lock has been forced with a screwdriver or something
luckily, they didnt get in and it didnt have a battery

miklos · 05-22-2009, 02:16 AM

Also cut off the stupid tow loops in the back.

What is "raking the bumper"?

SochBAT · 05-22-2009, 02:27 AM

^^ Or you could just unbolt them from the chassis.

But then, how would you tow it if it needs towing? Sacrificing your suspension arms?

What a bump!

miklos · 05-23-2009, 01:38 AM

You can tow it from the front. Also you can't unbolt the tow loops... mine were welded which I thought was normal on all S13s.

techn9ne · 05-23-2009, 03:40 PM

a stock s14 with no alarm can pretty much be stolen in minutes. coat-hanger between the window and rubber to unlock the door, small phillips screwdriver to take the 4 screws off the plastic trim on the steering column and the 2 screws at the back of the ignition switch (behind where the key goes) and you can start the engine with flathead screwdriver. pull the wheel as hard as you can, snap the steering lock, and you just stole a 240sx.

*downshift_sideways* · 07-26-2012, 01:39 AM

i have a viper alarm in my car. it comes with a killswitch. 2 birds with one stone.

plan on getting a QR with a hub lock as well.

i also went and bought some mcguard locking lug nuts. every single set has it's own individual pattern. no one else has the same pattern as you do.

*downshift_sideways* · 07-26-2012, 03:29 AM

exactly!
