Default the loud annoying alarm is key though ... my stereo was stolen in kenmore and

since my alarm was so annoyingly loud ... people HAD to go see what was on the street (instead of ignoring the avg alarm) ... then they saw people were stealing my stereo, and those ****'s got caught. and they left their thief bag/tools in my car ... interesting to see the tools they use.

Less people outside when it's cold so less chance of an eye-witness.

Default too bad you can't find some very acidic gel or something to slather on the glass each night :)

a guy in somerville on this board has the same problem (he might have commented here as well)... each time I pass his car it is without headlights, he is opting to take them out each night. That sucks. Sometimes having an "older" Audi has it positives i guess, no one wants my lamps

Not with ballasts, you didn't. They're after the whole deal.. not just xenon bulbs.

Default off topic... VERY cool VR4!

I almost bought one of those brand new back in the day, but went with an Accord 4-door instead. I know, ****ty choice, but the valuable lesson I learned was... I hate Honda products.

Default i have it, it costs $1k (which is nuts ... i shouldve DIY - but insurance paid for it basically)

instead of bringing it to a shop, i took insurance money and bought the SIM alarm.

it works.

Default Thanks...it may be for sale later this year.

135K on the clock and counting. I'm trying to track down center diff issues this month. I need to swap in my spare tranny to see if it fixes the problem.

ci20 should just buy ecodes and then ballasts/bulbs from this guy.. sounds cost effective.
