Here is the list of specs, guys, maybe you see something popping up - let me know.
Unfortunately, i am not the first one to suffer this. I hope thieves think about karma next time. Note - dent on the Greddy SP2 exhaust pipe.

I dont have much hope to find it - it probably went to a chop shop right away. Maybe after a joyride. Nope i didnt have alarm. I trusted that a genuine alpha lock and a club wheel lock will do the job. Well, alpha lock isn't that good apparently. I expected a better protection from a $100 piece of metal.

This is actually seriously hurting the whole community. The people who push the tuning innovation forward, those who invest their time, skill and money into the projects end up suffering when their projects get stolen by some "yo-whud-up-dude-nice-ride" type of individuals.

Why are Crx's so "hot"? Not because "da-mad-vtakk-powar-yo", but because of devoted members who make it hot with their efforts. By stealing their projects, thieves corrode the movement from the inside. Because of that, every real enthusiast asks him/herself a question eventually - "is it really worth it to constantly live in fear of having the car stolen from the driveway?"

No, it is not worth it. And guess who moves on to bmw/audi/`etc`? On the same block that night there were my CRX, 335i, c300, mini, g37, TL. Who's else car was taken? Errr - nobody's. This "JDM hotness" is getting rotten.

Sucks, sorry to hear that

Pardon my ignorance, but what in the world is an alpha lock?

Clubs don't do anything. Theives cut right through those in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, beyond garaging your car there's really not much you can do. If somebody wants your car bad enough, they'll get it. They'll even tow it if they have to.

We had a car stolen once that was boxed in our driveway with a car behind it. The thieves disabled the shift linkage on the car behind it, ROLLED that car into the middle of the street and left it there, and then stole the car. Not only did we box the car in, but also completely removed the distributor so they must have towed it home.
