Title: series security help
Post by: mark.yellow.series.3 on April 16, 2006, 12:20:15: ok. so my projects in its final stages of completion.
time to look at stopping little b******ds from stealing it.

there is no steering lock on mine, i am making my own wiring loom so i can make so immobisers if anyone has any suggestions.

i have fitted a luminition system, and will run the feed wires and earth wires through a isolator switch of some sort, that should stop them just putting a pos to the coil and jump starting it.

i also intend on getting a disc type steering wheel lock. and battery isolator switch.

any other suggestions.

cheers guys.

thanks andy, that looks just the sort of thing i need. its a beast.

only thing is ive bought a new steering wheel that could be unbolted from the boss (6 screws), so the steering wheel could be taken off.

So many cars have these now and they all use the same key so it wouldnt stop anybody determined.
Just drill a hole through to put the key through.

lmao i heard they train the f1 pit crews in corby no where else can they remove ya wheels in less then 10 seconds while your still trying to park in asda...

as for the security system i always vote for the big german shepard :) nothing like a nice white set of teeth other side of a landy window to remove people from the proximity of ya car :twisted:
