I want to be in your sig

Was this when the Si first came out? Wasn't it stolen out of their own warehouse? I haven't kept up on it, but did they ever find the car or any of the parts?

Why would you need a matching ECU, not just a new chipped key??

Just get some Allen head and Torx hardware to mount the ECU, person will be like fuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I told my cousin to do that to his P28 on his EM1, never did and they jacked it haha.
That be pretty interesting to find out and im almost sure they towed it out.

How are you going to get a key that is chipped to that exact car? Its not like old civic keys where there are only like 12 different ones.

maybe if you had the vin# to a car you wanted and worked at a dealership maybe but prob not going to happen

idk where it happened, i was just washing my car one day when i realized the rear bumper was keyed just under the left taillight, and it has a minor dent on the passenger side window sill thing lol the day i saw the dent was after church and there was like orange soda spilled and dried all over my hood.

That's why you park all the way out in the boonies. You'll never see a morbidly obese person with orange soda park out there. Same thing goes for parking structures, I'll park on upper levels and far away from elevators or stairs.

The reason why we're starting to see Type-S getting stolen is because you can use kpro to disengage the immobilizer and start them and drive off with them, and most of them that are stolen are already kpro'd so the thieves have no reason to bring their own ****, just hack the ecu and adios. The new Si is hard/impossible to steal because there's almost no way to disengage the immobilizer unless you have a factory key, so thieves options are A) tow truck, or B) get an expensive *** key cut haha.

you should be cool, the only way they'll take it without the key is by towing it.

I know there is no way that a car is 100% theft proof but I was searching through ebay and I stumbled through this

This FA5 was stripped and it look like it they busted the steering column to start the car. I know nothing can beat the almighty tow truck, but just curious what do you guys think how this car was stolen. I'm still a bit weary on purchasing an Si because theft may rise in this car. I had my Acura Integra stolen at school (broke steering column to start the car), so I know the feeling coming back to your car and not seeing it there. Are there many cases that 8th Gen Si being stolen? Sad too, the car was pretty much brand new with 1,649 on the odometer.

not really..maby a broken window and a missing sterio..lol

i'm willing to bet that'd work.

There was a news report on a rash of Si theft in Philly.

dube_fa5

when i park in structures i make sure to stay away from the stairs and elevators. since that day nothing else has happened. how could i get the little dent fixed and the key scratches?

SeanZ0r

Well everytime I park my Si, I hit the lock button twice and my theft/ex-girlfriend/hater shield fully engulfs the car! Its impervious to anything!

Heres a link to the tein hype **** civic

Recovered in Murrieta!

with the type s al they use is k-pro. with the new si's there is no k-pro . so even in few years it will still be very hard to steel. unless they cary a chipped ECU with them and put it on im assuming

make me worry
i dont have alarm yet

You can't just get a key cut to your Si unless you have a thief friend who works a the dealer too. Proof of ownership and insurance is needed from my dealer before they do any cutting. Not sure but I don't think FP can disengage the immobolizer either. Si will get there but it will be some time before some low life thief figures out things. As always nothing a tow truck cannot handle, a car is never 100% safe unless you sleep in it every night with a nice shotty and a huge pit.

Not to mention converting DBW to a cable wire is not that easy either. Have not heard of it being done just yet but again people will figure out a way some how some way.

/\ Ive seen a few Si's get jacked from around the city recently, but i dont think any have FP. If they really want to joyride or stirp it, not much is gonna stop em, sadly.

lets face it any car has a good chance of getting stolen for something. My friends brand new gtr was broken into and the wheels were taken and he was left with two jacks. It doesnt matter what kind of car you drive if someone is motivated to grab something or you provide a "easy" theft then it will be gone. Luckily the crimes rates are low where I live

sinisterdc5

we started my boys 06 si with my key (rsx) and computer/kpro there easy *** hell just to try it out
