Some people seriously need to have more respect for our cars and especially our soundsystems.

Well i just posted this to stress my anger towards people like this. Well keep your cars safe people and make sure to get the most out of them.

noticed in your link "they even kept the trim and lock" I would invest in new locks.

The mongrels will wait until you/insurance buys a new unit, meanwhile they take the lo they stole down to the locksmith because "they lost the damn key" and the locksmith creates a key from the lock, dead easy and takes about 15 mins.

GO CHANGE YOUR LOCKS dude. otherwise it will be even quicker for them to get in, and you might not have your car this time, they might decide to dri somewhere more convenient to drive away and steal the stuff.

My thoughts an advice from experience, Brian.

I have a CYCLOPS S35c Security System, includes dual imobilisation, Doors Bonnet Boot Protection, Shock sensing, Glass Break Detection, Horn Pulse with alarm.... well it is pretty good anyway, only had it installed about 4 months ago, long after i had my previous system in the car.

But anyway, apperently the thief was sitting in the car ripping everything out while the alarm was going, it was in broad daylight in a reasonably busy area.

I was going to get deadlocks for the doors and hatch but hadn't got that far yet, if i did so they wouldn't have been able to get in so easy through the hatch..

well another possibility was just to simply rip all the locks out, patch them over, and make use of the keyless entry, so you can't 'jimmie' a lock that doesnt exist.

Well on the brightside I dont really need to worry about car security anymore since there is nothing left in it for thieves.

The first time my car was broken into they smashed the dash trying to get the CD player out. The next time they took the whole bl**dy car and wrote it off.

Above is perfect example of either getting ALL the locks changed, or selling your car an getting a new one.

First breakin, they steal the stereo, smash everything up, and nick a lock, the secon time, the use thei new key to unlock the car, and drive off, as if they own it, usually that's the last time you see the car in 1 piece if at all.

Brian you made a good point about them taking the lock, I hadn't even thought about that, Thanks, but still it has dual immobilisation though ignition and fuel, security is all black wired so i can imagine it taking a long time to be able to override the system.

after mentioning that about the locks, I think I will get a set of dead locks as soon as possible.

any suggestions, my mate just got a set of SOLEX deadlocks for about $80, do you think they would be secure enough.

nothing will secure your car, sorry mate...

I have 3 way immobilisers on my old cordia turbo, and a friend showed my in 45 sec how to start the car without the key, he lifted the bonnet, hooked wires everywhere, got in the car, and bang, she started, yet the immobilisers told us the car was immobilised.

Dont know wht he did, but it wasn't hard.

ofcourse it isnt impossible, you only need to supply the engine with fuel and a healthy spark and she'll run regardless, but with efi i think the immobilisation trips something in the ECU for fuel management making the injectors useless, but if they desperate enough they'll always find a way, i've heard of thieves bringing theor own ECU's, ripping the old 1 out plugging in theirs, then startin up the car.

but i seriously cant imagine too many people around here being clever enough to do what your mate did tho.

Did i mention there were witnesses to it, they came and saw me when I got to my car, the guy sed 'he was affraid to confront him because he thought the guy might attack him with a crowbar or something'

ahh well they gave me the registration number to the theives car so good on em.

What would be the best locks to get to secure the car as much as possible, It just needs to be used as a deterence since the locks I have now are obviously no good.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
