i like the idea of hardwiring the prepaid cellphone to the car so it can be tracked...again, from the Honda Tuning article.

Is there a write up for a kill switch somewhere? I'd like to add a few to my car, but don't have the know-how.

the more anti theif devices you have in your car the less likely a thief is to want to try and steal your car unless they really really really want it then they are gonna have to toll it away. When I inspect my car, I think like a theif and if theres a way to get thru then I will try and figure out a way to prevent it from happening..

I'd say a wheel boot could be the best security.

I had my 04 GSXR 600 stolen from me 2years ago and then I had my 00 SI stolen from me a year and a half ago and refused to let it happen again.

I now own another 99 SI but This time I have a viper alarm with the viper add on GPS tracking. Would be good enough for most but not for me. I am MECP certified and I hooked up a **** ton of relays and kill switches that you have to activate or NOT activate in order to start my car.

First thing when I get into my car I have a magnet on my keychain that I have to wave by a magnetic relay which is hidden behind plastic This one turns on the main relay. Then I have two more kill switches that are all buttons that are already factory in the car to turn on the fuel pump and finally the starter. I also have a semi hidden kill switch in the car that when switched on because the person might think it's a kill switch will kill the main relay and then blow a fuse so that the switch can't be turned back the other way. Therefore once they find out that there is a kill switch and find the dummy switch and flip it the car can't go anywhere even if I know what to do when I get back in the car until I replace the fuse.

Just some helpful hints but I don't want to give all the details for obvious reasons. I think the best part is the GPS and the magnet becuase not every thief is going to be walking around with a magnet in their pocket.

Um... you don't have to "kill em", you know?

That's the great thing about wheel guns (revolvers):
  • First two rounds: snake shot
  • Last four rounds: hollow points
Kinda silly to dispatch somebody over a car theft, IMHO!

Quoted from B20

"Kill switches are great. Hiding or disusing the switch is key But I have some people put kill switches in obvious places... like the dash. Seriously... a big red aftermarket switch on the dash.. I mean why even bother? Another obvious spot is the lower drivers kick panel... almost always there. This is where you need to be creative for this to work! I have seen some guys run it into a OEM switch.. or run it so something else would have to be done to start the car. Like parking lights would need to be on to start it... maybe the defrost ect. So the idea of the kill switch is to kill the engine... there are a few ways to do this... switch the pump.. ignition ect. My favorite is the main relay. If you kill power to the main relay all sorts of things will not work. The luxury about this, is that the thief will have a hard tome finding this out cause of where the relay is. And remember just as you hide your switch.. you MUST do this with the wiring as well. Aftermarket wiring sticks out and is easily traced... the more OEM it looks the better."

I have a quick release, clutchlock, autopage alarm, and i use the club to lock my ebrake and shifter in 3rd gear. Park you car inwards all the time and turn the wheels either to one side. This way its harder to tow. More security to come (killswitches, boot etc.) im also diggin that ugly *** bitch up there.. ultimate protection..lol
