dont know if this will be useful to anyone but heres what i did to make my car

hard to steal...

1.Deleted the door locks, LF door RF door AND boot.

2.Disconnected the the rods that control unlocking the door(from the inside)doesnt

effect the alarm at all.

3.Relocated the master switch to where the cup holder use to be(is practicly useless anyway)

also fabricated a panel for it to fit in and coloured to match the interior

4.installed a gearshift lock.(unless they tow it it aint going no where)mounts to chassis and is similar

to a steering wheel lock

and finallly...

5.installed a triple immobliser dynatron alarm (5star NZ rating)

Overkill? i think not!! :D

maybe borderline overkill...lol I clublock my car even in my driveway eventhough i have an alarm. i'd like to see what the shifter lock looks like mounted though.

Yeah, THANKS for broadcasting to the world how to break into my car!! Good piece of anti-theft info there.

your car may get nicked from the same process and then you would say why didnt someone tell me earlier how easy it was. I cut my wire years ago after someone on the forum pointed this flaw out.

from memory it was the brown wire that goes into the switch unit but double check people by doing a search maybe as this is from my dodgy memory....i take no responsibility...ha you could always re join the wire if its the wrong one..lol

my alarm beeps if you are in the vicinity of my vehicle and will go off with a bump to the car or anything moving inside the car. i did spend $800 for that on top of the security from the previous owner. i think it is totally worth it and not overkill......my prestige plate was stolen and my alarm went off but they were gone before i got to car.

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
