How are S2000's stolen given the fact that they require the code in the key to start the engine (specifically, the fuel pump I believe). Other than w/ a tow truck - how do people steal our cars?

 

Think about what your asking?...

You want s2k owners to explain how to steal s2000's??...............





NEXT!!!

 

LMAO, only 4 days old. Must go around stealin Hondas.

 

Immobilizers, alarms, blah, blah... they just keep the honest people honest. If they want it bad enough they're gonna get it.

That's what insurance is for.

 

Since no one else is being helpful, here's how to steal a Honda with an immobilizer:

1. Swap out the computer for one with a programmed keycode the thief has.
2. There's a supposed "brake code" that will bypass the immobilizer. It's been posted before, but Honda owners get a bit sensitive when it is - so it gets deleted regularly.
3. Find a dishonest dealer that will make you a new key off of the VIN

the easiest and most likely methods are:

4. Bring a flatbed and tow it.
5. Strip it on the spot.

These are general ideas. I won't get into the specifics.

 

Sorry if I don't seem so "Hospitable" but having had 2 cars stolen I'm not one to divulge questionable information and will confront those who ask.

Although the original poster seems to be legit from reading all his post........the information you are providing to others may be used by people who are not.

 

mugen ecu's don't have immoblizers

 

I thought it was done with smoke and mirrors!

 

I was in a parking lot across from a bar and watched a car get towed for illegal parking, right after the driver left it there.

I would say it took that guy literally 30 seconds to a minute to hook it up and pull it away.


Not too hard to steal things that way.

 

Ok fellas - if you read all of my posts, you'd see pictures of my car here:

I'm not out to steal anybody's honda. I'm also not looking for a step by step process for god's sakes. I was just curious how all of these S2000's get stolen with what seems like a pretty effective security device. I am now trying to weigh the decision of whether or not to buy a security system - I'm leaning towards the "not" end of the spectrum. I've got a bachelor's in mechanical engineering and my mind is curious about things I don't understand. From what I gather, the car can't be walked up to, slashed, and driven away in 5 minutes without some previous casing and legwork.

AZDavid - If I "went around stealing Hondas", I wouldn't need to ask you - would I? Clearly not.
