Default Another ITR gone!

I know lots of you guys like to keep track of these things for current lists.

My friend's PY 2001 ITR was stolen this past Monday in Brooklyn, NY. Car was totally stock except for tinted windows. Car was stolen near his work. The car was parked in a garage all day while at work. Apparently the thieves broke into the garage at some point during the day and took the car.

Another ITR bites the dust. I will confirm the number of the car tomorrow and list it here.

Too bad these people can't be identified at birth and then be killed.

the true shame of all this is that my friend was the original owner of the car and it only had roughly 15k on it.

it was too be sold early next year but that will never be realized.

car was mint and all original. very tough to find these days.

Damnit!

Not so much the thieves anymore, but owners need to realize that EXTREME precaution needs to be taken when you're out with it and think about parking it somewhere. BE CAREFUL.

Sorry to hear though. Thieves need to be delt with accordingly.

NY is no joke.... plain and simple........ NEVER I MEAN NEVER TAKE YOU CAR TO THE NY AREA... AT ALL COSTS

Any body outside the NY I plea with you....R's get stolen faster than you can think in Ny, and in the entire tristate area.... if you leave a Type-R out 1 night, I mean just 1 night and I gurantee you by that night or if not the next night... your car WILL With out question be stolen or at the least be broken into ..... it 'ain't no joke..... I remember somebody I knew.... 5-lug was stolen off of the car while it was parked in front of the guy's house......it was not even a joke.....

sorry guys. haven't gotten the number yet.

but yeah, the tristate area sucks in general. itr's and gsr's are both rare around here. i honestly can't remember the last time i've seen a newer gsr on the road other then mine. someone attempted to steal mine a couple of months ago, twice in one week with no success.


yes, my friend's car was in a garage. it's not an official parking garage. it's a smaller garage with only a few cars in it. they obviously new where the car sat during the day. my friend would have never thought this would be possible.

just goes to show no b18c integra is safe in the ny/nj/ct area.

Flamethrower now an option on S. African cars

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (CNN) -- Crime-obsessed South Africans have a powerful new weapon with which to stop likely criminals: the car flamethrower.

Casting a man-high fireball, reportedly with no damage to the paint, the Blaster has been placed on 25 South African vehicles since its introduction last month.

At 3,900 rand ($655), it offers a cheap, dramatic defense against carjackers. It has yet to be deemed illegal.

South African courts allow killing if convinced that it's in self-defense. The defense is not unheard of. In last year's 13,000 carjackings, criminals often brandished weapons or used them with little provocation.

The Blaster squirts liquefied gas from a bottle in the automobile's trunk through two nozzles, located under the front doors. The gas is then ignited by an electric spark, with fiery consequences.

Both sides flame at the same time, regardless of whether the attack is coming from just one side of the vehicle, or whether passersby are on the other side. But the breadth and depth of blast can be modified according to individual preference.

Fire blinds, not kills, maker assures
Blaster inventor Charl Fourie, 33, disputed concerns that the flamethrower could burn someone to death.

"My personal feeling is that it would definitely blind a person. He will never see again," he said

Firefighters, medical personnel and the police agree 100 percent "that it will never kill a person," Fourie asserted. "This is definitely non-lethal.... A person is not going to stand there for a minute while you roast him. It will fend off the attacker, and that's the end of it."

Fourie has filed an international patent application. He anticipates thousands of orders nationally and from abroad. "The demand is huge," he said.

First customer a Johannesburg police official
The first buyer, Police Superintendent David Walkley of Johannesburg's crime intelligence unit, is satisfied the Blaster is legal, provided it is used correctly.

"It depends entirely on the circumstances and whether you can justify self-defense," he said.

"Yes, there are certain risks in using it, but there are also risks in not having anything at all."

That would seriously be great if the fuel bottles were easily detachable for track events.

What should all R owners have to guard there integra like its a ******* ferrari? Its not the owners fault when the vehical get's stolen. If the thief never decided to be a ***** and steal the car in the first place then it would be a ok.

Your prob one of those people that would be on a robbers side if he got fucked up trying to rob someones house and then came back trying to sue the family for his injurys.
