this isnt really a question bout performance....but it has to do with my crx. my question is....how often do your cars get broken into or stolen in your area....cause this last thursday night someone busted out my passenger window.....tried to steal it but i heard a noise outside so i went on my porch and turned on the light, well all in all they just pulled my E-brake and let it roll into a ditch causing me a full wasted day off friday trying to find the passenger door glass and a front bumper at a junkyard...i ended up not finding either...no 2g crx's anywhere at junkyards..and the ones that are there....they have been stripped more than a french -----. i ended up getting a front bumper this morning after i got off work from the classified paper, some guy in the country was parting out his rex so i got the bumper for 30 bucks and i had to buy the glass new but got it for 70 bucks and i put them both on myself. but how is the crime wave against crx's and other cars out ur everyone else's area......funny thing is this house has been in my family for 36 years and my car is the first to get broken into in that 36 yr period of all the cars on this block....go figure..

i got broken into and the little punk bitches stole 90 cd's and my friggin graphing calculator. and threw my heater knob on the floor. >:(

also i mean. u know these thieves are stupid fuckers when everyone knows how to pop a window on a civic/crx. (duh when i lock my keys in my car)

I got a loud ass alarm that you can here for a few blocks so it helps good...Park in the front of stores that way there might be some people that know what they look like or what they drove if there was a break in.

lol never had a car broken into or stolen or damaged in any way... guess i'm lucky. but one day in LONGVIEW washington, after a morning baseball workout, i stopped at a gas station to get a coke, and left my car running, when i came out this mexican old guy was about to open the door and get in, but i walked around the corner and he looked at me and started walking away fast. so i got in and drove along side of him giving him squinty eyes. for about 100 yards rofl. thats the closest i've came, i always used to leave the keys in my old truck 1980 sierra classic, didn't really care lol.

get yourself a pistol, best protection i can think of... lol

ooooh teach me how to pop the locks in my civic. I am so naive yet eager to learn! I keep a spare key in my wallet just in case, but it'd be nice to know how to pop my locks just in case. Do you just slip something (coat hanger) down into the door panel and pull up on the rod that connects to the latch? show me your ways, Obi-Wan....

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

easiest way is to pull the doorback slightly with a screwdriver and reach in with a coat hanger and pull on the handle or the lock

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

its really easy to use a coat hanger, and move it around directly underneath the door handle, after a while you're grab the right part and it will unlock

sweet, now I can get into my car when it's locked, as well as steal cars Nicholas Cage style!

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

ok guys, let me give you the run down.

you know those black tabs that are along the window track?(on the outside of the door. one per door.) bend it up(it will bend back) out of the way. then take a screw driver, a key, anything thin but strong, to pry the window out 1/2 an inch. the windows on most hondas(85-2003 civics/accords/preludes) will flex a good 7-9 inches. just enough room to put your arm inside. flex or "peel" the window out, reach in and unlock the door. i can do it in 15 seconds. im never locked out of my car.

personally, i've never had anyone break into my rex, but ive only had it for a year. My dad had blackouts on the tail lights of his 82 camaro ( i know, i know, i told him never again) but someone stole them off the car!! Then my other friend has a VW Jetta and some1 stole the side markers off his car! Another friend got his 1999 SiR stole right out of his driveway overnight. So I guess its pretty bad around here. I live in Brampton ON, Canada, near toronto.
