Did you have a discussion with him already? Why are you turned off his work? Which by all reports I've heard, is amazing

I have and we don't see eye to eye in regards of what I want from vehicle security.

Truth be told, I'd rather someone Melbourne based rather than getting someone interstate to do the work.

You want an ejectable dildo out of the seat into the thief or yourself but he doesn't think he can do it?

Don't need much in the way of an alarm or immobiliser, just something basic

If it hasn't scared the guy off when a basic alarm goes off, your car is getting stolen no matter what you spend on it

Thank you Adam.

I also leave my key in the ignition barrel because I have an immobiliser

If old mate wants to steal it at least he will see it's immobilised maybe instead of smashing my ignition barrel

Sure, why not?

So, when discussing alarm options with him the models he suggested were too pricey / feature rich for what you were after... and he wasn't interested in flying down here to install a supplied autobarn alarm?

Obviously he gets more of a profit from a Supply / Fit as opposed to Fit only...

Though, if you want a budget one, just buy and install it yourself using all the best practice alarm install methods.

Of course, that's why I didn't go for him.

I asked him what are the options of something that is decent and reliable and he didn't offer me one that isn't over the top feature-wise.

And I've got a over the top system with UNRELIABLE remote known to man (ain't paying for replacement that won't last once you use it reasonably), won't do shit twice in a week, thank god I didn't pay for the install otherwise I'd show up and be diagnosed with tourette syndrome afterwards.

I really don't like looking through there, it's the most idiotic layout and makes looking for certain things tedious and time consuming.

I've already had a quick look over and really can't see anything.

Ended up just buying a cheapie mp3 player with wifi as that's all I needed. Didn't want to roll the dice on some region locked phone, or risk smashing it again whilst intoxicated lol

Am I the only one who thinks "f**k you" towards those people who post stolen skyline threads and only have 20 posts, i.e. !o social participation on SAU, but expect other people to frequent here / socially participate and help them out in their hour of need? Kind of like leeching files on a peer to peer file sharing program. Their post history is almost always full of "help me" posts.

you can't expect all import owners to live on forums mate, we don't all have 27xxx+ posts, although years ago I had a job where I was basically at a computer all day and did nothing but talk shit on forums.

EDIT*- (not saying you talk shit, that sounded bad)

Theres one in the vic section "stolen R34" something about hit and runs... Im guessing thats the one your referring to.

but still Ive been a member for years, recently joining as a SAU vic member.

If my car got stolen id sign up to every car forum and post it everywhere ....

That's the thing though, if everyone did what these guys do...there would be hardly anyone viewing their posts in the first place and helping him out.

It really would be the equivalent of a heap of leechers on a file transfer network and no suppliers. Asking for help from a community that you only ever seek help from is poor form IMO.

Plenty of known people on here who say hi from time to time without being total strangers or sitting on here all day.

[vetter2769]

you never know, they could be part of the mighty car mods forums with hundreds and thousands of posts!

therefore not leeching, and in fact contributing!

maybe just have a blanket thread for vic stolen cars. post pic, licence, last seen location etc. and also encourage people to follow up if its been found.
