I'm leaving around 5oclock this morning for LLab (AFROTC) and find my car gone. I just got everything together this summer but all the work, money, and time... gone. I really don't know how to react or feel at this point. I guess I'm still hoping I'll wake up from a dream. The whole "import scene" has been a big part of me since I was probably about 10. After this though... I don't think I have the desire to do it all over again.

I had an autolock on the clutch and a couple "things" to prevent the car from being started, but of course that didn't work. They cut the clutch itself to get around the autolock. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who stole it are HT users are reading this thread. All I can say is I can't believe people these days. While we have men and women fighting and giving up their lives for OUR freedom, while your family worked hard to raise you and give you an opportunity to do make something of yourselves... this is what you choose to do, steal from other peoples accomplishments and hardwork. Karma is a bitch though, and in time, revenge will be had with the lame *** people who choose to steal.

To everyone else, I wish you the best of luck with your projects and goals. Although I know it's nearly impossible to prevent, I hope this never happens to any of you.

Anyways, it was stolen from Renton, WA at probably 1-3am. When I went outside the ground under where my car was sitting was still dry. I went to sleep at 12 and woke up at 4 so it had to have been in that time period.

It's a 1993 Phantom Grey Honda Civic Hatchback DX. If you want to Battle of the Imports at Pacific Raceways, you might have seen me. I was running in the S/C class. Took 3rd place with a best E.T. of 11.84 @ 118mph. The specs are below:

I'm sorry man. I was in your shoes last december. All you can do it cross your fingers.

I hate thieves, down with thieves . What exactly does a clutch autolock thing do anyways? Sounds kind of cool, but if it doesn't work...... must be some skilled theifs. I hope they get caught and shot. Best of luck to you man.

The autolock just basically locks the clutch so it can't be depressed. It's pretty much impossible to cut from what I understand but they just cut the entire clutch off... so I had an autolock with half of a clutch stuck on it laying on the ground when I walked outside.

I'd definatly recommend it... as it's just extra stuff a thief would have to deal with to get your car.

... thats making me cry

So sorry to hear that Jamie, good luck getting it back. Death to thieves.

That seriously sucks man, sorry to hear of your loss - I hate reading these types of threads on the boards but I click on them anyway to hopefully learn from other's mistakes (if any). So they went ahead and cut the clutch arm & pedal off? What I don't understand is how did they drive the car with just half of a clutch arm? I guess it's possible....kinda like driving with the autolock on the brake pedal and only using engine braking and the E-brake.

That blows man.

I wish it you got a bigger penelty for stealing cars. Bet it wouldn't be done as much then.

Yeah, they just cut the arm right above the autolock and threw it out. I guess they just pressed the clutch arm with their foot. It was probably hard as hell because the clutch was pretty damn stick (unsprung 6 puck).

My advice, get the autolock. Just creates more "obstacles" for a thief to get past. I'd get a good alarm too along with kill switches as it's more stuff for them to deal with (my friends car was saved thanks to two very good kill switches he installed... jackers couldnt get it started).

Well keep that part of the clutch because if you can prove the thing was in use then they give you like 4000 or 8000 something like that. Same with like a viper alarm that is installed at the dealer they give you so much money. I would look it up and see on their web site.

sorry to hear about the loss.

stripes777

i hate these threads too, your car looks like a dream car for most of us here. i too have an autolock and usally i feel safe with it. but with all the stories of autolock car thefts still, its discouraging. sorry to hear your story

poison

damnnn, sorry about the loss.

Good luck in the ROTC.

LOL - that thing reminds of me of that Simpson's episode where they go to New York to recover Homer's POS car.

Also looks like one of those devices they use to "encourage" car owners to pay their parking tickets.

s0ulless

damn sorry to hear... i had my car broken into twice. But now i'm upgrading to a new alarm...clifford rsx 3.5 with 2 way pager. Lost about 1g of parts, however, if it happen agian I will give up on the import scene. Can't do anything about it either, but **** happens. Try using 2 autolocks and man your car was super clean. I would've bought an release kit for the steering wheel. **** like that scares me. esp when i toss over 10k into a damn car.

HATCHingMN

guys...I think its time to invest in a detachable steering wheel.
I got one since I started modding my hatch and the hatch is still here. ...But if they want it bad they'll do anything to have it taken way.
Add the detachable steering wheel to any car is so much more secured along with other security devices.

Did you see the Speedline stickers on the side windows, and one on the rear towards the top? I also have a uberdata sticker on the rear window. Also, I have Nokya Artic Purple head lights... Where is the Plateau?

Thanks for your help... I hope I can find it.

the sad thing is you have worked you *** of for that car..... just to have some B*tch come and take it... cowards.

hope this dosnt dampen your passion for the import scene, sorry man

Man that sucks so bad.

Right now I'm battling with the desire to mod my brand new 2004 EX Coupe with the though of having it stolen.

Your car looks hot man and I'm sure it performed just as well. You should defintely look into getting some compensation from Autolock. The real bad part is you gotta figure it was somebody who knew you or at least been scoping out your car for some time. You gotta figure they were watching you and watching you car at the same time. After all that time I think I'd be wanting nothing to do with the import scene as well. Good luck with whatever happens.
