Ae80's security and you?

[Zeriam]

how do you protect your car?
seeing as i they broke into mines today and stole my music lets start with the basics
what type of key and lock do you have?
which is best.
i been told the cylinder locks+key is the best to use.
i currently have the oversize laser cut key and lock but it proved useless.

[cressida_override]

how they got into your car, with key or break the glass?

[Zeriam]

picked the lock i suspect the only damage is inside
took the speakers in the back and left the remote and 2 afm and a turbo and my tac which was worth more than the deck and speakers put together. but atlest i still have my car

but back to the topic where sells good cylinder locks?

[cressida_override]

well its also possible to get power lock actuators along with a viper alarm and use key-less entry, eliminating the use of any type of key to enter the car! the actuators will cost about $300

[Zeriam]

kewls
question is who sells the actuators without the alarm.

[cressida_override]

not sure but i think one of the power sellers on the forum had them for sale, if u can't find it i can order the kit below for you!

that can be bought at almost any store that installs them.
price jumped to $300? used to be $150 a piece.

next time you're in south.
Try the third building on your left past T&TEC, between the Chinese restaurant / bar, and Sincere's.

noticed the below with toyota's up to and including the AE91.
Worn toyota keys, would open the locks.
The old keys from our PS series corolla, opened almost all we tried.

[cressida_override]

i was referring to $300 for all 4 doors! well atleast it should be around that shipped.

with regards to the worn keys its true, my key (ee80) was locked in the car, i got a guy with an ae80 to come an unlock my door...lol took his plate # in case my car end up missing any time soon

[buzz]

^ damn truth cressida and wagonrunner

i fed up locked teh AE80 keys in the car and pick the lock with a hairpin and a smaller key

true story :s

on the upside tho the ignition wasn't so easy to pick, ignore the fact that all the wires were easily accessible tho

[buzz]

Oh and me sisters ole lancer used to start with a spoon handle...

[cressida_override]

but i believe the easiest is a galant, it starts with any key..lol

[zondafan]

so how good would the actuators be against theft ?
u would still have to put in an alarm ...rite ?

[Zeriam]

the actuators + cylinder locks less time to fiddle with that crappy circle key

[rx80]

Even with the new cylinder locks it's very easy to open the car.
All that is needed is a piece of wire, bend a hook, slip it between the glass and strip and pull the locking arm.
All the older model cars came with the rod and is very easy to "pick"
Best bet is to tint the car so they can't see easily what you have and put a good alarm.

[zondafan]

so with the actuators u wont need the key to get into the car ?

[Zeriam]

nope door locks will pop up

[zondafan]

oh ok thats cool

where do they sell these ?
and how complicated is it to install ?

[Zeriam]

anywhere that sells alarms and it not hard from what people say

[zondafan]

you gonna install them ?

my alternator seeing some pressure so i need to disconnect some things first before i put in anything else

[wagonrunner]

somehow i don't think they'll have your alternator under load.
if your battery can start your car, you'll be fine.

[sadique]

sry to hear that Zeriam.....wel i have actuators in my door already.. they came with foreign used doors(AE82) plus an auto page alarm ... however i used the locks that came with the used doors,had a key cut to fit 9by pix on cipero street) and they work well, lasttime i lockd the keys in the car..i had to break a window to get in!
