Default theft proof?

is it illegal to cut off da circle rings under your car? the rings tow trucks use to pull ur car.... cause i was wondering..... ppl cant steal ur car with a tow if u dont have the rings right?

side Q: can a stock B18b handle turbo? or would i need to get new connecting rods, pistons and what not?

they could tow it from other places. it might be a little harder but still possible, besides most kids put those bad *** JDM tow hooks on there to make it even easier for them they don't even have to bend down to hook that **** up

To answer your question no its not illegal. Why would you do if YOU had to get it towed though?

Keep your car indoors and if you have to leave it out side take your ECU, so that way if they do take it they hopeful blow it up when tuning it

this happened a while back. had a white hatch. had a b16b motor inside and the dumb idiot thiefs took his car to a mechanic shop to get the motor out since they couldnt break away from motormounts or someshit like that, and the mechanic got suspicious and called the cops and the car got recovered and 2 guys got arrested i belive when they went back to the shop. both of them were hispanic guys.
