Well, i guess im lucky because i made it 3 years with my R before someone decided to try and steal it tuesday night. They smashed my windshield and pried my door open to get inside. Im so lucky they didnt get it though. Apparently they tried to stick another Acura key in the ignition because it set off the immobilizer so the car wouldn't move. But now my keys dont even start it. Well its at the shop now getting the damages fixed and a new immobilizer and 2 new keys. Ill post pics up later of the damage.

 

Dude that sucks!
Be glad they were clowns other wise it would have been gone.
Hope the shop you brought it to is legit... I've heard strories where the shop was shady and things went from bad to worse.
Disconnect the battery and try the matching key to the ECU and see if that works.

Good luck fixing.

 

yea I took it to a well respected shop in the area. I tried the battery thing. My friend works at Honda as a tech and he suggested that but it didnt work. The insurance is gonna pay for a whole new one so its all good.

 

Sorry to hear man. Hope it all works out for you.

 

Im sorry to hear that an attempt was made to steal your caR, but like you said "Welcome to the world of Type R's". Good to know that everything is being taken care of, and that you still have it. This is my biggest fear as an R owner, theft.

 

so was it in a garage.. or on the street..

glad to here they didnt take it though

 

wow man sucks to hear...make sure it doesnt come up again!

 

Losers, good for nothing.

Sorry to hear, but you still have the car

 

 

sucks to see so many paople out there that rather steal then work for there stuff

 

yea it was parked in my friends driveway. We were hanging out and it got late so i decided to stat the night and found it in the morning.

 

sucks to hear man, thank god for them being dumb and your immobilizer doing it's job! keep an eye on heR!

 

Dam bastards!!!! i plan on owning a ITR someday and i live close to ATL!!!! F****** thieves!! hope they rot in hell!!!

 

Glad to hear you still have it. Add some more security layers. The immobilizer usually doesn't prevent theft.

Atlanta is bad lately...a clean '98 R was just stolen/stripped there..

 

Damn, glad to hear you still have heR.

 

safe part 1! glad ur OK

 

hmm.. thats good that you still have her.
but ive noticed ALOT of cars get broken into when its parked at a friends house or something...
My friends car also got broken into when he was at his gf's house..

 

what part of ATL?, i live not far and will shoot on sight someone piddling with my R. Ill barely let it sit in a mall parking lot longer than 25 mins without checking on it.

 

I live in Douglasville. Its a country *** town and not too many people even know what a type R is. I got the police involved cuz i think a jealous guy i know had something to do with it.

 

these are the pic... not too much damage. the main part is the immobilizer. its back from acura with new immobilizer and keys. Now its just time for body work, paint and new door seals. it should be back by the end of the week. im so impatient.

 

Damn, sorry to hear. I'd be livid at that pry bar dent.

 

As I said before...

Sure sign of a clown trying to steal an Integra, if the person was any good, first you would not have the car second there would be NO damage to the car.
best of luck on the repairs.

 

be carefull when its where ever getting painted no one goes for it again....will it be kept inside the whole time while its there?
