get the autolock. i had that on my ford probe gt, and i now have one on my 5th gen hatch. great anti-theft device. the club can be taken off, but not the autolock. you also need a chip to start my car. dont keep anything in your interior. it will keep basic thieves ou of your car.

well i dont know about swaping around spark plug wires..... cause that takes time....

but i definatly wouldnt bother with the CLUB... everyone knows the steering wheel will cut thru like butter and then just slide the club out.


i vote the killswitch..... cause if its a manual they can still try to push start it even if it has a starter kill thru the alarm system.

what i would do is find a switch inside your car that you dont use... and custom wire it up to your killswitch. that way it looks OEM and its a simple push of the button thats in plain site BUT still would NEVER be thought about....
like for me im gonna use my AC button cause my 94civic doesnt have AC system on it.... another idea is foglight switch if you dont have foglights... maybe the defroster switch. or rear wiper switch... just find a switch that you dont use/NEED to keep it very easily accesable for you and UNKNOWN to a theif....

just an idea....
or just slap a switch under the dash or under seat or rear WHERE EVER you want.......

BUT LIKE ALWAYS.. your best coverage is FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE.... otherwise they could still jake your car with a trailer/tow truck/ car dolly.

ok the kill switch is a very good idea. the spark plug thin also. the club isof no use if theives are watching your car. another idea is boots. just like the ones that the traffic department use. they are kind of pricey though. there's a few web sites that have them. you can always check ebay and craigslist for a cheaper price.

1. Speedy Boot. http://www.speedyboot.com/



2. Wheel Club
http://www.sportsmansguide.com/zoom/...mp;adid=288108

3. Alpha Lock. http://www.discount-trailers.com/alpha-lock.htm



there's a couple more but these are the ones that i found.
