weather is hella crazy! sux i have to work today and i work outside. im going to tell the damn security to keep an eye on my car!!
Thats what a sleeping bag and blankets are for.Hot weather is when its bad@ Failsafe88, you dont want to sleep in the back when its 40 degrees cold!!
Lol, yeah, they dont give a rats ass, little stuff is worth pennies for them.^^ hell yea or in the tool box
pick a part is so dumb they dont check
Instead of the peewee bat. maybe a Odyssey or a motorcycle battery. That shouldn't add much weight. If you go with a bike bat make sure its sealed if its in the cabin or trunk.. Years ago i had a friend that had his car robbed from the mall, they got in threw the key hole for the trunk on the back of the car, when i get my car painted i plan on getting rid of that key hole on the back, i also use a club. As an fyi our civics can not be slim jimmed.@crxmike, well it wasnt a full size battery backup. its a small one, like the size of an android but fat. and the power is weak, i couldnt turn off my alarm from 50ft. And in 5 minutes my alarm was decreasing its power. Its as if my civic was wounded and it was using its last breath to cry out for help.
As far as the alarm, good idea, but a better one is to have a horn siren! loud as f***, but with that you could get a ticket for disturbing the peace, stupid indeed. but there are laws that only allow up to certain decibels for a siren and my siren is set to its highest possible. My second horn is in the engine bay, and its hidden. And this horn is used to hurt ears and make them bleeeeeeeeeed. its not too loud when the doors are shut. but if they cut the first siren, the second one is still there. What I learn the more backups of everything you have the better off you are. I'm thinking in Layers, like an Onion. They have to work there way in, but will cry every time another layer appears. I have visible layers and none visible layers, even with that they still went ahead and tried to steal it! Either the thieves are getting more stupid, or more ballsy.
How about a shot gun and some rock salt..loli have an idea! reroute the hood cable through the fender to safeguard the original hood latch and then get a bogey cable in its place that is almost identical and hood it up so that when it gets tampered with your alarm goes off? best bet is that it'll be the first thing most thieves would go for an it would give you that head start to save the civic.
I am curious as to why you think they can't be.As an fyi our civics can not be slim jimmed.
Who told you this?As an fyi our civics can not be slim jimmed.
This thread scares me:/ I have a 94 EG8 with absolutely no security features. I live in SoCAL though. Where are you situated?

dude that is a good idea! if they try to pull the hood latch cable and the alarm goes off, that is brilliant thinking. That could definitely be done . I would have to talk to my alarm guy to figure that one out!i have an idea! reroute the hood cable through the fender to safeguard the original hood latch and then get a bogey cable in its place that is almost identical and hood it up so that when it gets tampered with your alarm goes off? best bet is that it'll be the first thing most thieves would go for an it would give you that head start to save the civic.
The battery from a motorcycle is a good idea, it cant go in the back because that is illegal, so it would have to be in the front but its hard to hide something like that on a civic! The bay is so open and roomy, any thief would notice anything unusual right away. Im thinking having another back up battery the same size right next to the one I have. thats the only way i would feel more comfortable. Also, this spare battery is inside the cabin, so they would have to go in through the doors in order to get to it. And they wouldnt be able to go in because the alarm will go off. I even have an accessory that will notice any broken glass sound. even the jiggling of keys will set it off!Instead of the peewee bat. maybe a Odyssey or a motorcycle battery.

sorry, Im not following you. so you have a monitor inside your car???Another thought, Harbor Freight sells a driveway monitor for like 15 bucks. i painted my ir sensor black so i could hide it too.
zedicous, I agree with those other comments made and your car can be slim jimmed, with that in mind you better change your game plan.Who told you this?
I've locked the keys in my 95 civic ex and had to slim Jim the door open. My fiancé locked my keys in once too and the police did it once too.
So yes, they can be slim jimmed. Quite easily.

I have a 93 EJ1, i've had it since new when i bought it in oct of 92. Back in the day i used to deliver pizza for piece of slut. One time i locked my keys in the car with it running, another driver and a good friend had a slim jim, he was supposed to be an expert useing it and boasted how he could unlock it in less than 10 sec, well after about ten minutes he finially gave up and gave me a ride to get a spare key. i then looked it up on the inet and it said it couldn't be done and it was engineered like high end exotics are.See that little tab right next to the quote one?

I know a few people that have relocated their bat to the trunk, this is the first i've heard it being illegal. I honestly don't know if it is or isn't but i nkow if its a sealed battery and not one that vents it works fine.The battery from a motorcycle is a good idea, it cant go in the back because that is illegal, so it would have to be in the front but its hard to hide something like that on a civic!

As far as the getting in through the trunk...tell me more about this incident. So they got in through the rear seats?? did they kick it down?? I never heard of that...I know you could set up your alarm that goes off when the trunk is opened.
the club sucks, you would have to get a clutch break lock. its more durable and it makes it harder for thieves to get through it. with the club on the wheel, they would saw off the steering wheel and it would be out in seconds, where as the clutch break lock, it will take them longer to saw down. more time for them to work on it = more time for someone to spot them.
As far as removing the key hole, you could just disconnect the mechanics or tamper with it to make sure its no longer functioning.
I'm talking about for when it's sitting in his driveway. As long as its not near bush that move with the wind, it works quite well and it'll go off as the enter and before they mess with the car.sorry, Im not following you. so you have a monitor inside your car???
Mine is a 93, i don't know if that make a difference or not. I had a friend try and a police friend has tried before and they couldn't. I guess mine is special..lolSee that little tab right next to the quote one? That's the multi quote button. There is no need for the triple post.
