Kuruma Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 That sucks. The car looks nice too. I'd be out for blood if someone stole my rides. I'll remember this one in case I see it while driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwishiwascool Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Damn, I work over there. I saw your car on the street all the time (when it didnt have the cover on it). That sucks man. Hope you find out who did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuruma Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 On this subject, is there any way to make the computer on a car easy to pull out and put back in, as an added means of preventing theft? Doubtful that the car would be going anywhere without that, unless the theif was dead set on grabbing *that* car and came prepared for just that situation. Maybe when I get a car worth stealing I might wanna do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when I get a car worth stealing I might wanna do that i dont think it would be that hard to do, because doesnt the wiring harness just plug into the ECU? so if you moved it somewhere you had easy access to like the glove box, i guess you could just reach in and unplug it and take it with you. although im not sure what kind of effects this would have on the computer itself.

nathan Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Effects would be that it would never have any long range fuel curves stored so it would always run better. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 But would erase codes for say certain chips, etc...? And be a pita to reprogram your deck every time you drive it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawbinder Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Is that the current tag CNB1601? If so I will keep an eye out for it. What is the police report number and I will look it up at work and inform all my fellow officers to keep a look out for it. Sorry to here about your car. The car was taken on 1 precinct and im on the same zone just a couple of precincts north of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to break parts by pushing things past their limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No broken parts Im building my race engine to handel 600-700, but dont plan on making more than 300. Costs a pretty penny, but its worth it.

Guest newmark Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 taking the computer out? you could just relocate the fuel pump fuse and take that with you everytime you leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 even better wire in a kill switch like the ones used on jetskies and just keep it attached to your keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No broken parts Im building my race engine to handel 600-700, but dont plan on making more than 300. Costs a pretty penny, but its worth it.I agree with that logic. It sounds like an overall a solid, reliable way to do it. I haven't had anything that wasn't stock so far (Simply because I didn't care about upgrades or racing until recently. I'm a noob, but I've always driven whatever car I'm in fast and hard for what it can do.), Me + stock setup = something blowing up or breaking. (Of course, I'm sure that wouldn't be true if I had a car that came set up for the way I drive from the factory.) Originally posted by newmark: taking the computer out? you could just relocate the fuel pump fuse and take that with you everytime you leave.I did not think of that, but that sounds like an even better idea. No fuel = no go, after all. Originally posted by Speci@lized.: even better wire in a kill switch like the ones used on jetskies and just keep it attached to your keys.Never been around a jetski to know what those are like, but again, it sounds like a good idea smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Just like the ones on quads and such as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuruma Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I suppose I'd have to see one for myself. Never been around a quad either. smile.gif I didn't care about much other then computers, getting completely wasted, and buying more and more video games until I finally got sick of that stuff after I blew the Neon's engine in June this year. Fucking up a car that badly and being forced to deal with a repair bill of over $2K will make you rethink a lot of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 this explains them a little http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/news/news/020617c.htm And heres one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4504145370&category=31284 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuruma Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 So... You attach one end to the switch, and one to yourself, in that application, and if you fall off the jetski, it's pulled out of it's socket, and the engine stops, am I correct? All in all that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
