Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 22y 3m 1d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 28/08/03 11:13 AM Share Posted 28/08/03 11:13 AM please Lord Cyric said: IMHO, in addition to beefing up your T's alarm system, you should get it sprayed with SmartDot. This makes it extremely difficult for the pro's to cleanly "chop" your car up and also makes it easier for the authorities to trace stolen vehicles when they are seized.Might not make a difference at the time it gets stolen, but it does give the chop shops a headache when they get 'em.Agree with the 'Lord' here sounds like the politically correct thing to do.......(smart dot that is....), personally.... shooting the M.Fckers is too good Legalise drugs......please! (at least it will keep these low lifes away from our cars!!!) they'll be too wrapped up in their own little world to worry us in ours!! :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4895-someone-tried-to-steal-my-xr6t/page/3/#findComment-46323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Cyric Just sit back and enjoy the ride...!

That way, any *beep* who tries steal my baby would get a very nasty surprise... I once saw a story on /. (www.slashdot.org) that showed some car defense systems in the US. Side mounted flamethrowers, trazer dischargers, etc. It'd be a good way to clean out the "human gene pool"....

Guest Horse Guests Posted 30/08/03 04:43 AM Share Posted 30/08/03 04:43 AM It was always going to happen !!!!Before I got my XR6T, I asked a lot of people at FORD and ones that used to work there. The word was that the Falcon Imobilser has been "cracked" and that it is the same as the AU's. And as the XR6T made the top ten list of cars to be pinched in NZ. I opted for a new imobilser with the existing one...and a good alarm. It cost me the best part of $1,100 NZ$, but the insurance company was very happy with it and gave me nice discount with the premium....

Specs, fitting req's, price, etc., would be welcome.

I've got the factory immobiliser but it seems like it's still not safe enough. I'm kinda interested in what Karl was saying...the COBRA alarm with shock and microwave detection...but how much would that cost on average? So does that mean the alarm goes off when some idiot in the carpark revvs his engine really hard beside your car? My beastie will have this setup, 700 including fitting. The microwave sensor was the most expensive part at about 230.Apparently the ford remotes wont work with this one, but you get 2 sets supplied with the kit anyway.All up though only 100 dollars dearer than the ford factory alarm.
