stolen cars
thought I'd put some cliffnotes: bought CRX, spent 3x what I got it for, freaked about it getting stolen, looking for other options, suggestions?
just the paranoid part of me here, but in December I picked up another CRX and have since been dumping money into it to make it road worthy and pretty cosmetically. I've basically have been lagging on completing the car because I'm freaked out about it getting stolen. I've dumped like over 3 times the cost of the car in it already. So my question is, what import that is fun like a Honda that you own or have owned that you would be comfortable modifying and putting pretty $$$ on it and not worry too much about it getting stolen? I'm actually really interested in a Nissan 240 or 180 and doing an S13 front right now. Suggestions? Experiences?
The Honda scene's theft problem is just that ridiculous.

Re: stolen cars
Why dont you get a good alarm and throw some extra kill switches in there? Remove the ECU when you leave it for long periods of time.
JD is right about the miata. Nobody will steal one of those girly *** cars.
They are camber adjustable from the factory though.

Re: stolen cars
The Honda community is lacking moral fiber. It has been for a long time. I wouldnt even consider dumping money into a Honda unless you dont plan on going to the mall or the movies wth it for the entire time you own it. I had 3 other cars to drive at the time but I was always nervous about my hatch. I wouldnt leave it anywhere that it would be unsupervised. I had an alarm with ignition disable but that wasnt enough. I pulled the ecu everywhere I went. I am sick of that ----. I have a stock 4 door that is a grocery getter. I felt the urge to turbo it but I wont be able to leave it anywhere without that sinking feeling. Its sad but true.
