WTK - Gas lock in car

[hondaman]

Tuners,

Want to know what are the disadvantages, if any, of installing a gas lock in my car.

It's got an alarm and car search will be installed next week but thinking of installing gas lock in event dem damn bandits look to rob you gunpoint at home.

Let me know what you guys think.

Doh call them them things on yuh self. If they cyar start it believe you me they go make you start it for them. Besides that you getting car search. Let them go with it.

[RA40-GTE]

i think its a great idea. I had one in one of my cars, very hidden away that can be activated with your foot. So if you're ever pulled from the car, set it one time without anyone knowing. Car will still go for about 2 mins, but after that it not moving..
I plan to get one again when I get another car

[nervewrecker]

i understand there is a riadio controlled on too (jus like the car alarm) it saved a friend of mine almera.

where can I get one?

[TurboDrive]

^^^Thats a good Idea.

[toyocorolla]

[honda4life]

The one that came with my car is no longer working. It's the mechanical type, like that described in the quoted post above.

Does anyone know where I can get someone to see what is wrong with it, and, if need be, get it replaced?

if you're going with car search don't bother with the gas lock
mine is an electrical gas lock....it sucks because if it's on the car won't start & if you activate it whilst engine running couple of seconds for the most remains idling

[dmitc]

truth is most bandit know bout these sorts of things so like b18b_turbo, said yuh go get back the car so let them go with it.
and trust me car search does actually work

Its a VERY GOOD IDEA. However, do it from an alarm point of view whereby is you are held up, your car taken away, its activated. I had this installed and works excellent. It was an electronic module that was connected directly to the pump and activbated fro your alarm unit. Car is killed about 1 mile down the road - giving you suficient time to "get out of it"

This is the way to go !

^^ thanks booge.....
so if smeone tries to take yuh vehicle from u and u activate it...then it will not go very far...
it cuts off de gas from flowing into de engine basically?

THE SYNDICATE

<<< Guys, this system is the best. When i bought my car from the firm it came stock with a little noise maker prestige alarm. Now this is me thinking a 151k car being protected with a $700 alarm system?.

The next day i ripped out that alarm and sold it and installed the viper 791x series. Optimum security. Used to leave the keys in the car because to be quite frank - the car cannot be driven if bandits get into it. Them fellas hadda come with a wreck car to take it. The new owner of the car (it was sold) has also upgraded on that system...virtually impossible to steal. VIPER works

Anyway, what happens - the fuel cut module is installed and activated with the hand unit. Its an electrical cut off. Bandits would have to look for the module - ripping out the upholstery to disconnect and re-connect existing lines. Once activated the fuel pup stops and fuel in the gas line is burnt up. The car starts stuttering and cuts off. If the bandits decide to re-start, the car WONT because the command is given to cut it off. For it to restart the owner must deactivate it with the hand set.

Gentlemen, aside to this feature, the viper series is also well known for optimum security. ANY slightest hint of tampering - once sensors are installed the unit shuts down everything.

The key is to keep the alarm unit on you and not attached to the car keys. ! -

My next car will have the upgraded system to this.

Cant go wrong with this...

A bit pricy but worth your car

[katastrophic]

booge, so what if the battery on de alarm unit dies.. an de key in the car... an u have no spare battery.. how u gonna open the car.. is there a switch of some kind that is on the outside of the car that u can use to open the car... (a hidden switch of course)

The unit has a batter level indicator. Therefore, you can monitor. In addition, once the battery has one "bar" left on the indicator, it starts chirping...and will chirp chirp chirp until you change the battery. It carries one small triple A battery. Just buy a 4-pak and keep in your car.

No such switch identified.

If battery dies you can use your normal car key and disarm the alarm by pressing a pre-set code which is identifiable by your system and pre-programmed.

Okay first thing - do not come on a public forum and say what your security features are or intend to be. You never know if potential bandits could be on the internet.

Once you have car search installed - keep that knowledge to yourself. With that system, you need not need anything else.
