Guest scca Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 yep the taser is neat, i saw it at CES and you cant hold onto it for even a milisecond. teh permanent steering lock would be to drill a hole in the brake pedal and make a plate steel bracket that sits on the floor and a lock (HD harley type) goes thru the pedal and this bracket, no one would ever get a car with this, PITA to use though... they would need a torch to steal it then. ------------------ Mike mike@fonebooth.com http://www.fonebooth.com/brakes.html raceparts and brake upgrades.

Guest Anonymous Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Why not just a removable steering wheel? ------------------ Morgan http://z31.com/~morgan/s30 http://carfiche.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted January 10, 2001 Author Share Posted January 10, 2001 I thought about making a new fashion statement where I would design a hat that I could zip my removeable steering wheel in so no one would be the wiser that I had my steering wheel on my head....., Dont think society is ready for that loud of a statement!!

Kevin Shasteen Posted January 11, 2001 Author Share Posted January 11, 2001 SCCA, Just reading some older topics in the forum & read yours regarding the taser club. I have one for my 70 Rallaye 350. I Like it & its pretty cool at night. It has a shock sensor-all you have to do is barely rock the car & it goes off-electrons everywhere. The only caution needed is to carefully practive positioning it on the steering wheel as if your steering wheel is not locked you could accidently brake your windshield moving it upwards or crack your console while angling it downwards while positioning the taser to its proper angle. Further, if you have a hi/fi stereo w/lots of electrical gadgets-you need to make sure you dont set the taser/club angled to close to the stereo as the taser when triggered could short your stereo. As in any car-there's always someone who has the smarts to bypass any alarm; however I think the taser/club will keep street punks honest; if someone wants your car bad enough they will get it. I've recently seen info-mercials where a new club has been manufactured that locks the brake pedal in a manner it cant be moved & is made of high steel-I like it; forget the name of it but they had professional rehabilitaed car thieves try to brake it & were unable to; they all said if it took them more than a few minutes to steel your car they would simply move on to the next car. This brake club was designed by an ex-Marshall whoses specialty was craking down on auto-fraud Nationwide. Hope this helps as we are all paranoid about becoming possible victims of auto theft; especially after putting blood, sweat & tears into our rides.
