Any suggestions to what is a good mongoose alarm system?

and also is it worth tying it in with the stock central locking (so you can use the oem remote) or do you think its easier to get it re-done?

Highly recommend Cyclops.

Australian Brand and well priced

The P375B is great value for money.

not too bad and good for those on a budget. still sell the odd one myself.

as for best - how deep are your pockets?? (or how paranoid are you??)

I got a viper 2 way and I hate it I leave my car for like 2 days and it struggles to start up.

that has nothing to do with your alarm in 99% of the cases,but weak battery/bad connections or poor tune on the car

Directed Electronics(viper,python,and a few other big names) has lifetime warranties on parts if professionally installed, but batteries inside siren can fail after a 3-4 years , quicker if you run the main car battery flat a few times

best alarm is ADR compliant for insurance reasons , and used 100% of the time even in your garage, as a multi layered security approach.

and installed by someone who knows how "pro" to hide it, and wire properly

and common sense on when and where you leave your car.

viper used to be good, but these days, along with the rest of the DEI gear, it seems fairly average quality wise. probably the best bang for buck tho.

quality is best/features IMO (lifetime warranty on hardware if pro installed, great tech support ) but not a Australian approved device without adding some extra bits.

don't forget they make a lot of different levels of alarms

Viper,Python,etc

to tell you the truth car theft here is really bad compared to the USA, shocking bad to be exact.

flaming mongrels , in USA you have guns and "make my day" laws and judges who throw crims in the prison for doing it !!!...lol so crims might think twice before toying with your pride and joy

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
