Ball bearing steering wheel quick release, I take off my wheel when im worried about it, it only goes back on one way unlike the spline style and takes like 1 second so its not a big deal.

[sgpnismo]

I just moved to Phoenix, Az the #1 city in the u.s. for auto theft i Believe and i'll be running a quick release steering wheel, alarm, and be taking the fuel pump fuse out whenever the car is'nt being driven, only drive it 2 or 3 days a week anyways.

whered u get that quick release??

[PapaSmurf2k3]

My Gun... so far, 100% efficiency. I once saw (from a 4th story window) 2 black people scoping out the interior, and attempting to get the door open, and I yelled "HEY PHUCKERS... REFER TO THE STICKER ON THE WINDOW!" and they saw it and ran away. The gun was in the trunk too, so if they didnt move I was going to go down there and begin loading it.

P.S. that is not me that took the picture, no, i am not asian, yes, that is my car.

LOL! hahahaha, thats a good one.

I got a kill-switch...but the purpose was because my starter seemed to be going out...but it tested out to be putting out the same voltage as a new one. So to kinda by-pass the stock wiring, my mechanic said he'd install one and it would add security.

I have the same quick release but Blue. I just bought it with a momo hub for 120 shipped a month ago and all new. That is one way to screw with criminals. I'm also getting a security system soon on my S13 after I get it done.

I just moved to Phoenix, Az the #1 city in the u.s. for auto theft i Believe and i'll be running a quick release steering wheel, alarm, and be taking the fuel pump fuse out whenever the car is'nt being driven, only drive it 2 or 3 days a week anyways.

About the fuel pump fuse-

Thanks to PoorManQ45, I cut the wire going to the fuel pump fuse and ran a wire from there to a toggle switch hidden inside the car. Put all the wires together under the hood, and I can disable the fuel pump by flipping the switch.

Might be kinda easy to bypass if you know how its done, but hey it's easier than popping the hood and taking out the fuse every time you park it.

when i was in new mexico, i used to use a 1911 Colt .45

[vvaffle]

If I had alot of money I would definetly just go with self destruct. If someone was trying to break into the car it would say "Self destruct in 30, 29, 28, 27,1" BOOOOOM!!!! Then when I got on the news I would say that I'm offering free instalations of the system to anybody who wants one. Stealing cars is so wrong.

[PantherRacer]

it always has to be the black ppl(....or the latinos...or rednecks etc...)why don't they buy their own cars....just makin it harder for the rest of us blacks(....and the latinos...and rednecks etc...) to overcome LOLOL

alarm with fuel cut off, starter kill and ignition killpoint me to where I can get one, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, specially if it's waiting b4 I get my car

can someone with the same detachable hub come along and mount theirs to yours? basically, are they interchangable? in my area, the the nrg ones are popular

unfortunately a theif who's done their homework can bring his own momo wheel and a bunch of allen wrenches to remove the detachable hub and mount his wheel. this isnt meant to give any ideas, but let people know there is a false sense of security with these things.

[nismodave]

Im not saying what I use...........but

My car Never gets parked Outside overnight.

Only a Handfull of people know where I normally keep my car.

I dont leave my car sitting out in a Mall , Movie, Resturaunt lot for long.

Thank God, so far so good. Im glad its not my daily driver.

I remember reading something in Car and Driver about the Car Jacking problem in South Africa. Some of their solutions were fun. Like big heavy spring-loaded iron bars mounted under the running boards. Someone tries to car jack you, you hit a switch and the bars break a leg or two.

Or the person who set a flamethrower on the sides of the car.

[w1ngzer0]

i like the switch idea. Where you have to do a combination of switches to start the car. If you can't then the car won't start :P

its sad, but i would laugh my *** of histarically if that happened

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Very unlikely, first of all, the gun was in the trunk, the magazine and ammo was in the golve box (thats the law, separate compartments or something), and secondly, the gun has a trigger/bolt lock on it, only I and 1 other person have the key, and if they manage to break into my car, get through the hardend carbide steel or whatever the hell it is, find the magazine and the ammo, load the gun, and have the balls to shoot me, then yeah, hehe that would be funny.

[PoorManQ45]

Um... I have the stock Q45 alram system.

Just so it doesn't get stolen, I removed a few things: The Throttle Body, The Intake, The gas lines, and disconnected the accelerator cable. Nobody is go to steal my car by means of driving. If they want it, they have drag that thing away.

Holy Crap! Did anybody catch that? Somebody is actually using my "ghetto" method.

Was it as easy as I said, or did you run into any problems?

[The Mic]

I'm sure people are just plotting night & day to steal your car.Oh, does your car run now?

[PoorManQ45]

Dude I was trying to be funny. The car is in pieces, that's my point

[The Mic]

oh, I missed the punchline.

[drifter_for_life06]

that is the law about sepeare compartments, but im sure if someone was desperate enough to steal your car and attempt to strip it, a gun lock wouldnt stop them, well it might but they will try to get by it, and glvoe-box is almsot always the first place anyone looks for anything
