Thieves evenually will steal anything. It the matter of time kids will learn to
steal better by hanging out with semi-pro and professional thieves which spread
out to smallest amount of group of people that doen't spread words what they doing out on the street and most people can't tell if they are really thieves or not.
Don't misunderstand me, I am not a thieve but I do know what thieve thinking.
It a matter of time, each time I leave my car with alarm armed with motion sensor, it doen't prevent them touch or steal, I always get the bad feeling but the
smart way to do is, get out of honda scene which prior attactive to thieves.
I still involve with the honda scene but not going to own sport car which involve FWD. I planning to pick up brand new Honda S2000 for weekend driving, which rarely get stolen on the street. I currently driving the Acura Legend 3.2 TL 1998, never got a problem with thieve with this car, because it luxury, 4 door, automatic, thieve doen't intrested in this. Time wasting thieves always intend to screw up themselve and slap a book on thier face as cop book them, end up in jail, owned.

I admire RSX and EP3, very good improvement sport car in modern time.
Soon thieves will be swarming and RSX and EP3 will disappear in matter as time
pass by. Most professional drivers keep the car in garage kept and hardly driven it, these day, many beatuiful and excellent modifed and high-platform models factory OEM cars is disappeared due to theft. It degrading how theives do this.

Soon, the law will get stricter and punish this thieves with longest sentence and highest fines increase that will make them enough to be broke and take much more longer for thieves to pay the fine to court. What put my face into a smile is, thieves got owned in Court each day that what count.

How insulting of you. I hope you don't look stupid if you happen
to own RSX Type S, expect to be owned by thieves. Sad ain't it.

There had been couple RSX Type S stolen in Maryland, it the hot spot
of racing import scene. I had seen K-serie motors in EG, EK, DC2 bodys.
Thieves will focus more on RSX Type S than older honda models. They just
want the K-serie motors but most thieves will steal B-series engine for daily driven,
therefore K-serie motors will be most likely won't be driven much on the street but keeping all the K-serie motors whatever they can steal for spare engines swap in
the future. Once the DC5 body is stripped, they will sell all the parts except
engine changeover parts and ECU and tranmissions and interiors parts and exterior parts such as factory front bumper, rear bumper, fenders, quarter panels, power windows, power steering, airbags, moonroof, all sorts. Suspension and brake set up will be swap to EG, EK, DC2, it had been done. It pretty sad, don't ask me if I do it. Only smart one don't get into this scene, but stupid people will get owned for spending money, most insurance won't cover all aftermarket parts because they don't want to tell insurance that it will increase to cover aftermarket parts. Once it get stolen, all aftermarket parts is not cover if the insurance was not informed about parts before the car is stripped and stolen, the owner of the car is OWNED by thieves. A hard lesson must be learn or they go thier easy way not to tell insurance and get owned twice by thieves.

It's only a matter of time. They will be stolen for the engines/wheels, seats and so on.

Already a few Acura dealers have had problems with stolen seats out of the RSX's

Ive already seen type s seats already swapped into eg's and some ep's but no matter how hard you try to protect your car if they wanna they will get it no matter what it takes. I should hook up something that will give them enough electric shock to knock them out for a few hrs so when you see them in your driveway then there *** belongs to you
