Kill switches are uber easy. Just buy a generic switch and wire it in to the fuel pump. Done for $3. Or get a kill switch like mine that has a "key" that you pull out and will be useless even if they locate it.

Screw that bunch of BS. Here is one like I have. Same concept and a lot cheaper.

^ Yeah because that's very logical. Judging by your other post you shouldn't be allowed near cars.

Are you going to take out your ECU whenever you leave your car alone?

All joking aside...

I use a Club on the steering wheel, factory alarm, and a locking car cover!

Anyone heard of a car with a birdshit stained locking car cover getting stolen?

Outta site, outta mind...

Good idea with the locking car cover. I have lo-jack and a gps locater if they decide to steal it, tells me exactly where its at. I garage mine too plus the fuel cut off switch. The extremes we have to go to just to keep the **** we pay for safe, quite ridiculous if you ask me!

Good car thiefs have ecu's. That's how they get around cars with immobilizer keys. Some will even just tow your car away.

it doesnt matter what i post that is the is a way i know and it seems to be working for me, beside's i never leave my car by itself in unknown areas. you dont have to be a ***** about things either. So what if i'm new to the honda game thats why i'm on here to find info so i can get better knowledge, by the look at you posts you got nothing better to be doing than sitting around on a forum.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by NACvicSi &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">^ Yeah because that's very logical.
