Well last night the night bandits came around and opened up my doors, and of course the alarm did it's job by going off. By the time i my roommate ran out they where gone. i'm sure these are the same two guys that have tried to break into my roommate's EG three times, and tried to jack my old EG. The EG they smashed the ign, and tried to start it by rolling it down the hill but they didn't expect the kill switch. They took the ecu, and smashed the lock. But I still had my car. Now my new car which is a EF, they tried to pop my hood from the front bumper derailing the cable, so this means i have to take the front bumper off and incase everything in sheet metal, the cable that runs in the inner fender area has been relocated. I've been thinking about getting some hood locks, this is what i've found so far.

I never touch hate mongering threads like this. It really puts you in a bad light when you use derogatory terms like [pejorative], homo, queer etc. All sympathy goes out the window. To me it's just like watching old news footage during the desegregation era. Back then it was perfectly acceptable to use terms like [racial pejorative], monkey, coon, etc etc.

 

did I miss something? Yes hood locks and sealing off the hood latch are good

 

they make these flush mounted - lockable hood pins.

i think they are called areocatch... look alot prettier...

 

yea and they're plastic

you say that like its a bad thing...

according to their site/brochure..

it has a working shear load of 3000N

so that means it needs a force of 3000N for the plastic to start cracking or sheering..

3000N is = 674.426829 pounds of force

yay for internet!
