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)

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

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.

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

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

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

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

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

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.

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

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.

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

You're in Johnson County Cupcake Land and your car is getting broken into? I live downtown.. My car raped. :(

They stole me radar detector, my CD Player, and my garage door opener. The idiots left my leather coat, my cellphone, and my check book. This was a night when 23 cars got broken into at my apartment building. In "secured" garages. Nothing was done about it..

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

slim jim-ing a honda takes about 2 seconds, so opening is pretty easy..

I have had a few cars stolen throughout the years... :(

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

the easiest is a dsm...no frame around the window...just yank it back

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

dude....i live in kansas city kansas...i dont live in cupcake preppyville....i live in wyandotte aka crimedotte county. fucked up thing is they did this and my car was in my driveway....the popped my E-brake and let it roll....fuckers....my stepdad thinks i must have pissed someone off from my past and they seen my car...ive only had this rex for 2 months and already had the driver side and now the passenger side glass busted out....2 new windows....woohoo!!!...but anywho...---- there's another person here in kc who goes to this hmt.com site....---- i need some more ppl like that to be my friends...i got all these wanna-be flunkies wanting to be my friends so i can teach them ----...i need some ppl who know what there doing for once. oh well...but yeah its fucked up though....but anywho...im about to leave for awhile cause my mom is giving me the last 350 bucks i need for my LS swap so im out...lata

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

I wish they had slim-jimed my car. As you can see, the dumbasses chose to break out my hatch window, climb over my slicks, and my strut tower bar (my interior was gutted) to the front seats. This is where they proceeded in kicking in the center console vents, breaking a chunk of the dash off, only to find that I hadn't put the locking brace on my radio and they just had to reach down and pull it out. Then, upon exiting my vehicle, this would be where they realized I had left the driver's side ------- door unlocked!!! The bastards could have just opened it and saved me poor hatch!! >:(


91.. As for Crimedotte County, I grew up at 72nd and Parallel. :o Needless to say, I don't go there anymore.

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

i dont blame u one bit for not going up there...i live in turner district of wyco and its alright over here but i dont ever go up north..hahaha....but anywho....hey turboef9....u ever go out to front st. on the weekends ? i do

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

I used to.. but I'm not going to go there this season until I'm hitting 14 flat at least on my single cam.

My buddy Chuong is/was up there all the time.. He drives an EF9 as well, maroon, with GSR wheels and a JRSC'd Y7/Y8 block/head Mini. Ran 13.8 at Mo-Kan with a stock clutch, and some lame header. He's got ACT clutch (Stage 2 equiv I think) and a Kamakazi header.. Maybe he'll hit mid 13's in KC this season.

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

i dont think i know him...oh wait...the supercharged civic hatch...i think ive seen him beat the black jack roush mustang time and time again....i know a chung guy who drives a red prelude but he is wanted by the cops cause he ran from them when they caught us racing one night

if you ever go up there and see a white crx with a white spoiler on it and a big fat ass honda logo on the back window with 5 star wheels....its me...i stripped the interior big time...motor swap comming soon...gonna pick it up today...

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

Ya that's him. He rapes that Roush up and down every time. The guy (The roush) is a tool. I was only .3 seconds behind his ass all motor with my Mini. Everyone laugh at him at KCIR.. It was hiarlous..

I plan on some massive kills with the help of this forum, and Ghettodyne. ;D

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

yeah....the roush sounds mean but has the power of a damn turtle....well...i got my swap here at the house so in a lil bit im gonna start messin with it....hehehehe

you know....before i started coming to homemadeturbo i really didnt know jack ---- bout hondas....just ur basic ---- brakes and ----...but as the many many many months have went on i know lots and this site has helped me learn how to swap motors....learn wiring...and all that cool ----....after i get my ls in....im thinkin bout an ls/vtec or maybe even slap a b16 in its place...turbo later on....either way....i got some plans for my rex...hehehehe

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

Yeah I live in Longview and you have to watch out for mexicans around here. I don't speak spanish and I swear every ------- gas station worker in this crappy town is a mexican. They need to learn how to speak english because I haven't got a clue what the hell they are trying to say... Just give me my change bitch and shut hell up! >:(

Luckily my car has not been broken into yet... I have a few friends that have had ---- stolen from there cars though. If I ever catch somebody trying break into my car they are either getting shot or beat with my sand wedge.

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

My ---- has gotten stolen countless times.

The worst had to be when I lost 150+ CD's, two pairs of $150 sunglasses, EQ from my glove box and a mutli colored(more expensive) detachable face plate for the stereo. They didn't take the rest of the radio which is worthless. This all happened because my friend forgot to roll up the window and lock the door when he was in my car.
I hate buying CD's that I already owned.

Next time my ---- gets broken into I have a feeling the car will be going :'(

It's too dam cold(10F)to hook up a fuel pump kill switch.

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

My friend's Jeep driver side front window got stuck down so he put saran wrap over it and had all his cd's stolen, and they tried to take his stereo but it has little locky thingys. They left his Oakleys and his sub though.....Oh this happened in front on my house too :-\

I saw a Roush Mustang this summer while I was at William Jewel College for this choir thingy; it was cool. My Mom grew up there so every couple years or so we go there to see friends and stuff - next time I go I'll have to get together with some HMT guys.

If you guys think you have a Mexican problem, we (white people) are the minority in my county, IN COLORADO! Why they come here, I don't know but I do know it's funny to see them with their lowrider Accords and 4g civic 4drs thinking they're fast.

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

Hey, did you ever have to go to the driving school downtown at that weird apartment building place? normally after getting tickets.. ;D

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

what about the chevy trucks with huge wings and ground effects.. and wings on the cab... lol

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

Whoa whoa whoa.. This is getting a bit racial.. c'mon..

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

who cares about the ethnic slurs.... I don't appreciate you smacking on 4g Civic 4-doors.... some of us aren't so lucky as to own the high-performance engineered CRX's ::)

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

alright people...i gotta say this...even though im hispanic...im not mexican...just spanish....but i find it funny as ---- when i see 10 beaners up in small ass car or when u see there chevy trucks with that cowboy conversion body kit on it and the lights all over the place and a crap load of crazy stickers on the back window...it crax me up....sorry sqwirlycivic but i have to agree bout the 4dr civic comment cause i seen a 4dr 88-91 civic on the highway the other day and it had a body kit on it that made it look boxy....it had altezza tails on it....the h.i.d. blue headlights on it and it was painted purple...and the thing had beats in it....also had 99 civic SI rims on it too...it was like 3 inches from the ground too....and like 4 mexicans in the back and 3 up front.....sorry but it looked funny....oh well

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

anyone consider putting a hidden switch in the ignition line? Or having a switch that keeps fuel from pumping... lol. Just remove the ECU fuse or some crap :)

That may help you from getting your car stolen, but I dunno about break-ins. Get an alarm ( a real one).

Re:kinda off the hmt subject
 

My car got broken in ones.
This is a funny one.

My brother blew up the poor Rex's ZC engine so we got a new one.
It car layed in front of a friends house ready to get the new engine transplanted in...so the engine bay was empty got my sound system out left the radio in withiut the face :o..forgot that one.
So the next day I go to his house and I see that they fucked up the key hole those ass holes...opened the ---- with a screw driver. They didn't take anything..cause there was nothing in the car hahahah they surely must have felt like dumb asses...I found my hood open... I laighed so hard man. Imagine this you stealing a car and you're trying to start that fucker up and nothing happens so you go open up the hood and it's empty except for the radiator and some wires...hahahahahha Best way to go 100% theft proof.. get all the ---- out of your car including the engine hahahahaha
