all your money hu?? well make sure your ready to loose it all also, im sure im not the only one that would say this but cars are the worst things you can invest your money in and once someone sees your car and wants it then kiss your money goodbye..

your car is not gonna be s*** with out a good security system

Have fun with the car, just don't let your guard down. Eventually, someone is going to plan on stealing your car. Since my EM1 has gotten stolen, I've been looking to invest in the stock market. HAHA, I know, I'm crazy!

id sugest to first invest in a VERY good alarm system, maby clutch and wheel locks, and cameras outside of your house, with audio/visual. than id work on the exterior (lips, headlights, wheels...) than engine (b-series, boosted, cams, ECU....) than interior (seats, steeringwheel, carpet, cluster....) and the main thing is, BE CREATIVE, MAKE IT YOUR OWN!!

this is no joke. cameras, locks, kill switched, and anything else you could think of. I've even heard of a baby monitor. The sound ones. Have the mic in the car, and the receiver in your room.

25% the money that went into my car went into security, and my **** got messed with. But because of the alarm, they couldn't get it going. (thanx WRK-killer)

since when did you need to be able to steer when your flat bedding a car? sorry to burst your bubble but detachable steering wheels haven't meant dick in the world of security to hondas for a LONG time now. asides from the flat bed they have been known to bring alone spare steering wheels and ecu's for the people that don't leave their ECU in their car.

it sucks... what can you do. its called FULL insurance and making sure that your insurance company knows how much you put into your car and what its worth... take pictures, meet with an insurance rep, etc.

so much security fear.. my .02 is to just have good insurance that allows for modifications.

As far as being new to the community.. please dear god don't throw on I/H/E and claim that your car can do a 9-12 second 1/4 mile... and big wings only look good on air planes.
