from getting the drivers door open 20 seconds tops.....

this thing is a joke...

what about prevention rather then cure?????

its too late once the thieve has already smashed your door lock to bits or broken a window.

assuming i was a car thieve and i spotted this contraption i would attach 1.5 m of chain to the front tow hitch on my car then crack the door open and hook it onto the lower half of the coplock and hit reverse. it will either twist the lock or the brake pedal, but either way it will come off.

then the car is yours.

regardless of the above its not hard to drive a car without brake's thats what the hand brake is for.

i wouldn't use one if it was given to me let alone paying hard earned cash for one....

cheers

its not allways that easy.

my misses takes her car shopping almost daily and im not concerned about it getting stolen in the slightest.

it doesn't look like some hotted up monster just waiting to get a scratch, yet it has 300rkw.

but i guess thats irrelevant. prevention is allways better then the cure...

If you have a decent alarm, and dont park it in back streets where no one cares then sleep easy....

lol some of these responses are funny. A thief bringing his own car and using it to rip off the coplock?? How would he drive both cars away?

I see this coplock as an alternative to the steering wheel lock. Plenty of people still use steering wheel locks so i dont see why this shouldn't work as a deterrent and possibly prevent any potential theft.

Yes any car can be stolen if the thief is planned+motivated but i think this is just to stop joy riders etc.

Already seen commercials on tv advertising the coplock.

If a theif will be prepared to bring an angle grinder then they may be prepared to bring a GSM blocker and stop your mobile sending any messages :worship:

Seeing as he offers a refund why doesn't someone purchase it and try and rip it off, if it pops off get your refund :mellow:

wow never even thought of that. I guess your car is never safe unless its boxed in by 5 cars.

I think Quicktrak cant be blocked because they use a different frequency or something. Unless there is a quicktrack jammer out there haha.

Look at what this bloke drives around with...

Angle grinder would be a little more inconspicuous.

IF your in the market for a steering lock the coplock is a good alternative.. Steering locks damage the skylines leather steering wheel. :)

Yeh well more times than not, they rock up with a previous stolen car dump and grab a new one! Just recently over here a subaru got put into a stobie pole, then another car got stolen a street away and driven 3 or 4 suburbs away where they torched it, torched another car on thier way to stealing another one, and dumped that back near where they crashed the subaru and torched that also! all this was 5 min from the city too!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
