Combination Kill Switch ??

By LaosToaster
- Tue Apr 12, 2011 9:18 pm #250039 im just throwing this idea to see what everyone thinks. i was thinking about what if u used multiple switches and mounted them next to each other, but u flip a couple of them so the on button side is on the bottom and the off button is on top. something like this.

Image

would there be any reasons why this wouldnt work or not?
and of course the switches will not be labeled on and off for the thieves or whatnot to figure it out.
but if u forget ur own combo ur fucked too. just remember the ones that are flipped and you'll be good

example: 3 kill switches all conected together but laid out throughout the car...
1. Under the dash
2. Near the e break
3. Fog light switch...

Just cut them on in that order and boom... u got urself a kill switch

- Wed Apr 13, 2011 4:42 pm #250201 yea i think puttin them throughout the car would be better. im gonna be spending a good month doing all kinds of security, just tryin to think of new ones. like having a dummy main relay exposed but the real ones hidden and taped up in black electrical same, but right now its just dangling right beside my clutch pedal lol. same thing for the ecu.

i need an alarm bad lol

- Wed Apr 13, 2011 7:59 pm #250247 That's the main thing u need right now... little kill switches like that only stump the thief for just a little bit... the alarm will help out alot also with the right add ons like proximity sensor, tilt sensor, and hood/trunk pins...

And also the hood latch relocation wire will be a good idea along with a master lock to ur lock ur steering column where the knuckle joints are near the pedals are...

I vote for random spots per teal. Something easy like the trunk release, dash and under the console.

Easy enough to where you don’t have to leave your seat, and get going quickly.

Post pics when you finish.

- Wed Apr 13, 2011 11:01 pm #250287 ehh i hate that my car is gutted. even the all the ac components/ radio/ cigarette lighter stuff is gone. only good spot is behind my cluster. hard to hide shit with a gutted eg lol.

i kno i shouldnt say where exactly but i have a kill switched installed where u needa *************** and its unreacheable by hand, or tool. i'll let the rest go to ur imagination.

and hell no im not taking pics lol that would give it away and theives have new hiding places to look for.

well i just did my tax return and have enough for a new alarm! :thumb:

any recommendations??

Unfortunately with all the thieves out there to steal civics, it's not really safe to share your own custom security measures.
I've got some of my own but I won't be posting any DIY's for as long as I own my civic or it defeats the purpose.
It sucks we have to be paranoid but welcome to owning a modded civic. :roll:

but really my ultimate goal is to be able to be carefree, i kno this is something thats rare among us civic owners. im still paranoid leaving it in my garage all day, somethings not right if i feel like this lol.

i want to feel confident with my security :wink:

- Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:10 pm #250402 Go with a viper that has the one mile reach... and like I said b4 tilt and proximity sensors along with hood pins are add ons that u can put in that will help with the whole paranoid thing...

Quick release, kill switches, and other little things inside the car will help out a lot also... :thumb:
