1. car alarm - with starter kill
2. detachable steering wheel
3. tap into the following -use toggle to kill
a. clutch harness
b. fuel pump
c. cylinoid

these kill switches can be hidden anywhere in the car -

any more ideas will help. [patriot]

kills are the best for any car. There was a vid from Africa that BMW's had a Flamethrower option for security and it was legal!

dont forget the classic replace your door handle bolt with (locking)carrier bolts. A lot of the times they get in through those cheap ass door handles.

Also if you have other vehicles block in your stang. Another thing I did was a motion activated security system. That I can check online (I know I am pretty nerdy sometimes) [Razz] . Plus motion sensor lights. I also have dogs that go off when anyone is near my driveway.

that's retarded, you can pull any plug wire and put it on the coil and it will run fine on 7.


pull the rotor out and put it in your pocket, I do that whenever I have to leave my car at any big parking lot.

remove your door rod as one can easily pop open your door through under your door handle.
also add a metal plate to the hood latch to prevent fools from reaching from under the car to pop your hood.

the hidden fuel switch and disconnecting the computers ground(believe its located near the batter and looks like a round connector) are things i would do.

I've seen dummy coil wires before, its easy to miss and would keep them guessing. Of course no way to disable a tow truck, thats what happened in my case.

I'm definitely in the market for ways to keep my car from getting stolen.

So what do you guys think? Is LoJack worth it?
