Lucky Me! some one got in my car
This is what happen:
"Theif lookout!!! Plate# FEF660 Blue 92-95 Civic Sedan! <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Originally posted by Prostrho
Hey guys. My friends Type R was almost stolen right in front of the E-Spot parking lot last nite.
The guy that was trying to steal the car was a east indian male, short hair, around 5''8 heavy build. He left in a 92-95 Dark blue Civic Sedan. Licence plate FEF660.
It was actually pretty lucky for my friend. We decided to go for a ride in my car and when we came back to the Espot parking lot, we saw his cars signal lights were left on. I asked him how can u forget to switch off ur headlights. We looked inside and we saw a guy in the car trying to start it. I drove my car right in front of the Type R to block its way. And i picked up my phone to dial 911. The guy actually stayed in the car for a while pretending it's his own car. But got off when he saw me on the cell phone. The Civic he left in was parked right beside the Type R being stolen, and not knowing what kinda weapon he has (he was holding a big flashlight), me and my friend decided not to get out of the car to stop him. We called the cops, only took a few minutes for them to come. But the guy is long gone in his car. We decided not to chase him too. Too dangerous, i'll leave that to the cops. Luckily the Type R wasn't stolen because it has a immobilizer. That guy opened up the steering column and tried to get access tot he starter. Also the front left fender liner was pulled down. No visible damage to door locks or windows. The guy also managed to turn down the volume of the alarm system. So people closer to Espot main door probably can't hear it at all.
So guys, watch out for ur cars in E-Spot. </TD></TR></TABLE>
My Friend in the quote= me
E-spot = a place to hang out in richmond, bc
Questions:
Any people actually did a re-route the hood cable line so it's not reachable from the fender?
anything i should watch out for? or advice when doing this mod.?

Disclaimer - I haven't actually read the article in question. But...
You can apparently reach the hood release cable on Integras from outside the car through the wheel well - it seems to run in between the fender liner and the actual inner fender.
This should route the cable inside the engine bay, so you can't reach it from outside the vehicle.

Don't be lazy...it's a good article.
And yes, this is a wise thing to do. Re-route through the engine bay itself, prevents the easy way to open the hood from pulling down the fender liner. It's one more layer to slow a thief down.

Re: ($pecial K)
Being the most stolen car in American (per 1000 cars), it is the utmost priority to make your Integra as secure as possible. Therefore, I recommend rerouting the hood release cable inside the engine compartment, thus making it inaccessible, because stock, the hood cable goes through the driver side fender.
Before we begin, take notice that this project is being done on a 1995 2dr. Integra LS. Other years/models might have minor differences. With that said, please review all the tools which would be needed for this procedure.
Tools:
10mm socket wrench
Flathead screwdriver
Philips screwdriver
Needle Nose Pliers
Jack
Drill with 3/8” Bit
Silicone
Zip ties (3)
Let's begin!
Using a 10mm socket wrench, remove the two bolts mounting the foot rest. Then, proceed to remove the kick panel using a flathead screwdriver.
With those two things out of the way and the hood lever exposed in front of you, dismount it from the frame using a 10mm socket wrench. Now remove the hood cable so that it is no longer attached to the lever, and then set the lever aside.
Now Remove the cable from the latch
The hood cable should now be dangling free at this point
Next you have to remove the driver side inner fender liner. To do so, get your jack and raise the vehicle to a comfortable height.
Using a Philips screwdriver, remove all the plastic clips/screws to free the inner fender liner.
Within plain view, there should be the hood release cable coming out from the cockpit of the car, going through the fender, and then into the engine compartment. Grab the side of the cable coming from the cockpit and pull it through towards you. The cable should be now free of the cockpit and hanging out of the driver side fender.
Next, using a pair of needle nose pliers, remove the cable clips located inside the engine compartment. Then pull the remainder of the hood release cable all the way through.
Pull the cable from the inside of the fender, run it down along with the factory wires. Then use the cable taped to piece of a coat hanger, and pointing downwards, run the cable into the car
Now make a good sized slit in the rubber firewall passthrough making sure not to accidently catch the blade on any of those wires
Inside the engine compartment, secure the hood release cable with zip ties and then stick the cable clips (near the latch) back to where they were.
Reassemble the inner fender and the parts inside, and then make sure everything is back to where it was, test out the hood release lever a couple of times to ensure everything is working properly, reassemble the inner fender and the inside pieces, and then then call it a day. Your car just got a little more protection.
Your done!

I believe so... unless you reroute the hood-release cable to run through the engine bay.... (like what everyone else has suggested)...

relocate your cable. i could still pop your hood.</TD></TR></TABLE>
But not everybody knows that. I've talked to someone that came out and found that someone had tried to get into his car by popping his hood the normal way. The cable was relocated so the guy took off leaving the car.
Even if someone does know about where you talking about, taking the time to cut or rip out the normal location will take time just for them to find out it was a waste of time then move on. Its all about layers and slowing down the thief.

You can get by anything, not just one thing is designed to stop a thief and wont. Like everyone else has said you have to have multiple layers of protection because the longer the thief stays and tries to get your car, the longer he has the chance to get caught. If you make him waste his time, hes just gonna say "**** it" and move on to someone else.
