I've seen the ones whereby it locks the brake together with the clutch pedal......something else for them to cut.....

which means more time involved,keep a wheel clamp in the car just in case,or 4....lock up all four wheels... :)

add that to the alarm siren hooked up to your airhorns......an internal siren to make him to deaf....Autolok the steering wheel.....or remove it if you have a Nardi wheel....I used to do that.....I'm a paranoid kunt :uh-huh:

Where do you buy all these security gadgets?

if you use a steering lock (as I do), make sure you install it on the other side of the steering wheel - theives then can't pull it off towards then when they sit in the drivers seat.

I also carry a length of high tensile chain and padlocks, if I am leaving my car for an extended period, I chain it around the rear sub frame and a steel post/telegraph pole. extreme I know, but try to tow that!!!

SICK .. freaking SICK COUNT!

I am now seriously considering a quiktrak this weekend - I would like to know their financial status however.

Me care about my car too, so you got to spend big on your alarm, plus you always do it right the first time. Brant nemesis isnt a bad buy, pretty good alarm system and never had troubles with it. 6 point imoboliser and keypad start.

I however do like the idea of the chain to a pole idea ;)

One of the features he asked for was the Automatic windows. How much does a system cost that when u alarm your car your windows go up by themselves, or do you just have to play around with the wires?

Thx

Apperantly it's not that much more expensive. It's the time it takes your installer to wire the extra wires up from the alarm to the window relays.

$50 ?

There is a small controller device required so that they only go up a certain amount and stop when they have reached the top. Otherwise you could shorten the lifespan of the power window motors.

This controller is actually a very simple logic device with about $5 worth of parts that people sell for 50-80 dollars retail. Plus labour if you dont fit it yourself.

I believe Brandt fit it for about $125. This is another part of the reason i wont buy another brandt alarm.

This use to be available from the UK. I once enquired over several emails about getting this product delivered to my door from the UK and the legal implications.

At the time they were willing to send it in a box labelled "gift" but were unable to give any guarantee's that it would make it past our customs. I didn't end up buying it.

I also can no longer find the homepage for this item. All I can find now is this or similar:

I guess it comes down to how bad the thief wants your car. If he wants it bad, whats to stop em using those wheel jack thingoes and just rolling your car onto a tip truck.

Any alarm is (as mentionted) just a time factor thing. If you are serious about not losing your car, id see the only way would be a combination of all the above thigs listed.

Im going for the satellite tracking, and.....YER RIGHT! like im telling the whole of the WORLD!!

Serioulsy though, dont leave gauges, hand controllers, steroes in plain sight. Use a club lock (steering or clutch pedal), a high intensity led, an alarm (maybe the paging type if you want to know asap if your cars being toyed with)

Its all about how long they need to get what they want. If its the whole car, bad luck...:D

I can't get insurance and I do care about my car.

Why can't you get insurance? If someone was to blow up your car then no alarm is going to protect it form that. Trackers sound good but if the theft knew what he was doing wouldn't he disarm it? Trackers sound pretty good though I might get one.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • 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.
    • 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.
