just kidding, altough the question is realted. What do you guys recommend as for extra security, such as a brake lock ect. which are the most effective, thanks

 

Sorry for posting this picture again..but this is just too funny to be ignored~

 

WOW! I need me one of them!

 

electric door handles

 

I use a clutch pedal lock: http://www.surftilyoudrop.com/unbrak...tolock-pro.htm

 

I think good insurance is the key. Most simple devices will stop a joy rider, but nothing will stop a pro, especially a pro with a flatbed.

 

If you are really serious about security, LoJack is the way to go.

 

I've heard otherwise, regarding lojack.

 

You said the "S" word, better knock on wood now!

 

You need a "Trunk Monkey" my friend! :D

LOL

I definitely need to get myself one of those monkeys!
I especially like the way he handled the theft in clip 4 :D

 

I love trunk monkeys!!!

 

I'm not sure if an E-manage encompasses this, but my friend with a WRX has a U-TEC with a remote switch that piggybacks on his ecu to control fuel/timing/boost, and you can program a map to cut all fuel to the engine by flipping a switch when you park your car. Its also good for a nice hp increase.

 

I think I have heard of that.

 

Look into teh product "silencer". Its very good and comes with insurance if the car is stolen with this installed. Up to $3000 I believe

i lock only keeps and honest person out .if a crook wants something bad enough a lock won't keep him out.

 

LOL... I think I'm going to trade in my Boomerang2 for one of those trunk monkeys.

 

For US, LoJack is really no good. LoJack requires the police or a LoJack team to have a unit to pick up your vehicle in their car, and it only works within a few miles range. The better solution would be to install a GPS tracking unit, such as Viper. Not only does this allow tracking of the car, but depending upon how advanced of an alarm you install, you can remote start, roll up/down windows, lock/unlock, have sensors for glass breaking/scratching, hieght/tilt (for wheel theft or theft by tow truck), and much more. If you do the GPS unit, any features available on your remote, are available by phone or by internet, as well as a few more. So at least worth a glance in my opinion if you are considering an upgraded alarm.

The idea behind any alarm is not to make it at all impossible to steal your car...where there's a will there's a way, and a pro thief may find it, but you sure want to give them hell. Even if they do manage, the GPS unit allows the car to be tracked and even have the starter killed, so if the car is shut off, it won't restart.

 

Isn't Lojack a GPS?

 

Nope.

Lojack works on radio frequency signals. It's rather like a homing device. There's a Lojack box in the police car, which gets updated a few times a day with data on stolen cars. The Lojack box sends out a continuous signal that activates units that are on the stolen list, like "Hey Lojack number 123456, are you there?"

Once Lojack 123456 gets activated it will send out a continuous beacon signal. If you've ever noticed a police car with four rather short antennas in a diamond shape on the roof, that's a Lojack equipped police car. The Lojack box in the officer's car figures out where the stolen car is by evaluating the strength of the signals from the four antennas. The readout is nothing more than an arrow pointing in the direction and a relative strength meter. It's rather like playing the "warmer...warmer...you're burning up... Ahh too far, you're ice cold" game.

All that being said it works pretty damn well, unless the car is in motion, then it's hard to figure out how to get where the arrow is pointing.
