Thanks for you guys' concern. Yeah that sucks when people have to jack with other people's **** just to get money... i put so much work into that car .. everythign diy.... that car ran in the family , used to take me to elementary school even... just put a new engine/tranny after 234k.... oh well nothing i can do about it.


PS... do any of you guys think its possible to steal a 7th gen civic? Im worried now about my 'vic... im thinking theres no way of getting ast the imob. system since it checks the key every x amount of time in order to keep sending fuel

LO JACK

It's like a chip that stays in your car and it's pretty much UNDETECTABLE.
Once you report it stolen, the police averages 15-20 minutes to track it down and recover it. It's amazing.

Even the best alarm wont prevent your car from being forcely (??) towed away.

i think a lojack is $800. my co-worker got it, also has the stock compusar locator too(comes with new tahoes).

the green tint stands out so i'm sure i'll be able to recognize it if i see it. but ya good luck getting it back and hopefully everythings still there

Alarms dont' do ****. The S2000 is unstealable YET it is Strippable. its so gay.. alarm is just a minor setback. even those aladdin ones.
Lo Jack is good though.

alarms are only good for convenience.. like remote trunk, doors and sometimes windows and doors

isn't lo jack $500?

That's what my friend paid in his IS300. Call them...

i h k s kim is right, an alarm doesn't do jack...they are bypassable and won't prevent your car from being stripped.

ok fine, it does *lower* the risk of being stolen though.

If you want some sht that will get your car back as soon as possible, LO JACK is the way to go.

Sorry to hear about your car. Hope they find it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] and by the way Autolock doesnt do crap. My friend had an alarm, autolock, club, and some metal lock thing he puts on his clutch.........and he still got jacked. If they want it they'll take it. I dont know about lo jack though.

Sorry about the car
It's sad when you are afraid to have nice things in fear that some sorry a** loser is gonna jack it.
This type of stuff just ticks me off [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

sry to hear about your car man...it looked perdy nice too with the tint. BTW has anyone heard about the kill switch thing that Honda sells? I was about to buy it but eventually didn't and got a stock alarm. I heard whenever your car is stolen...the car will automatically shut off and your going to need a Honda technician to start the car back for you.
