LoJac

Best investment you will ever do to secure your car. *IF* they can even get past the lojac alarm system and steal it, it will be traced. Lojac is one of the only vehicle security systems monitered by the police with tracking. I highly recommend it.

I have a 99 civic and Kevin does too. Im not sure how his si is hooked with but my car comes with an alarm. It should have a blinker sitting behind the wheel. That should help a little with keeping the theives away. If you want to invest in a better alarm go to best buy or maybe ebay and get the alarm where it pages you when people ------- with it. That the best imo.

just get one of those alarms with the two-way LCD display on the remote. clifford makes a pretty nice one that my friend has. it will start the car, pop the trunk, has motion sensors around the car so if somebody gets too close it will chirp, will go off if somebody reaches into the window if there down and all kinds of other ----. pretty sweet alarm. i'm getting one soon.

yeah for real

there is a ---- load of things that you can do to make your car not get stolen. They can steal your subs, stero, seats, etc, but they aren't going to walk with the entire car.

insurance is always helpful.

autolock is a piece of ----, my boy had one on his ek hatch (it had type r suspention on it and escalade white) they jacked it at the state fair, broad daylight and cut the car club off the wheel (steering wheel was cut and ------ apart) and cut the clutch pedal, you only need 1/2 the pedal to actually step on it, you still have the rod to where the pedal used to be. and it had a viper on it with proximity and recovered 6 hours later stripped of suspention and no more front end.

Reccomend lojack. But any car is stealable. If someone wants it bad enough theyll get it. Trust me on this. Even if someone takes their ecu all you need is some hand tools a truck and you have alot of parts. Between me and 4 or 5 friends. We are always working on his hatchback. We can the whole car down to frame in a couple hours. Without power tools.

Kill switches and it'll take an extra 5 seconds to put on but well worth it:
