Awesome. Now do one on your starter, get a good alarm, get a removeable steering wheel. Maybe even consider pulling your ECU/ECU fuse if your in a bad area or are just paranoid about your car getting stolen.

 

now only if there were some finger print ignition technology out there. id feel completely safe

 

yeah im going to get a momo wheel with a quick disconnect hub and pull my ecu, and get a backpack so when i go to the mall or something i just pull off my steering wheel and ecu and throw them in the backpack

That's what I do.

 

for playing it safe. I gotta start investing in security systems as well.

Not to be a dick, but this should be the first thing you do if you plan on putting money into your car.

 

damn i should start to put some kill switchs

 

Don't even tell your best friends that you have these installed. It might be tempting, but don't.

 

I see all this stuff about kill switches for fuel pump and starter so on so on....

Why not just hide a battery cut-off and use a Gel cell battery for your alarm?

ive come to realize, alarms dont really make a difference. unless you have a pager on your keyring, if your alarm is going off, NOBODY cares. doesnt matter where you are, as long as there is no cop or authority figure around, nobody cares about a car alarm going off. make sure to get a viper with a pager

I couldn't stress this enough. I never associate with anyone local about my car. And worst case scenario whenever I need to take my car to a shop I take off all my after market parts and throw on my stockers.

I know I don't Someone's car could be being broken into. Maybe even yours

 

I put mine on my fuel pump, with the alarm killing the starter and ignition

That's ignorance. You wouldn't be saying the same if it was your car.

 

and also think about this, where did you wire up your fuel pump kill switch to? where did you cut the wire? passenger side kick panel? if i broke into your car and it wouldnt start, all i would do is go down there, take off the panel, take off your wires, and re-connect the fuel pump wires.


p.s. dont tell me where your kill switch is wired up to.

while i was working on it, i relocated all my wiring and my ecu, i thought about what your talking about too

 

good

 

everything is re-routed, i even had my cousin look for all the wires and switch and he couldnt find any of it...today im going to start on the wire tuck in the engine bay...that might help a little bit too

 

pm'ed

buy one of the IBM fingerprint readers and figure out a way to wire it in. That'd be hot!
