The bad thing is, my passenger side door doesn't lock automatically, so if I drive somebody somewhere and they forget to manually lock the door... :'(

I'm just starting to get into cars. I had a civic, and was being shown around the engine bay trying to figure out all the parts. I'll look it up, though. How much does the actuator cost?

truth is if you own a 02-04 rsx type s get rid of it its going to get stolen sooner or later unless u have a garage its kinda safe because if they really want it they will still brake into your garage

I've seen this before on some insurance statistics page. It was number 7 in the top 10 stolen cars in america.

They are stolen but not frequently like old Honda's because They have immobilizer. Look at the sticker on the window. The only way to drive away with the car is with the same key programmed to the immobilizer. It will never start otherwise. Lets not get technical Electrical Engineers :D or computer scientists.

And not alot of cheap thieves walk around with $1000 KPRO.

The only way really is to tow it. *** THIEVES!!! Cheap Biches

Most civics/teg's get stolen around my area-an rsx is rare to see around here. But I would still get one.

want to deter thieves if you're an ep3 owner?

1. remove your civic and si badges.
2. put a fit badge on it.

no one wants to steal a fit....

if you have nice wheels...you should just get a garage regardless of how much security your car has.

a thief can steal anything just it will take more time if you keep adding security...also remember if you add security it increases the amount of damage a thief will do to your car when he attempts to steal something...

it's pretty much common sens if you're going to have a flashy car get a garage.

having a weird schedule helps a bit.

i'm always leaving at random times during the day and night so no one can follow me around and predict when ill be home and when i wont
