Most of the people who know stuff won't discuss it on the forums. I got warned once.

well, I dont think it's negative to bring this knowledge to the public. Not like this is private knowledge anyways.. This will only increase awareness and help us protect our cars.

Wow, that article is pretty amazing.
But what makes me sad is that the innocent victims get screwed by their own insurance company. A$$holes.

you can also steal any s2000 with a mugen ECU (no immobilizer). then you just have to turn the key cylinder.
