ITRCA

hey guys, i'm new to this forum. since everyone here pretty much owns or knows a lot about the integra type r, i think it would be best for me to come here for some info. how often do you hear of type r's being stolen here in socal? i'm thinking about getting a type r soon, but i'm a little hesitant now that theft has crossed my mind. please, if you know that theft is something i should REALLY worry about, let me know. thanks a lot.

sgtng, if you are thinking of getting an itr in socal, be sure to ask yourself some of these questions.

-do you have a garage?
-do you drive and park in public areas daily?

if you answer yes to a garage and no to daily public parking, you'll be on the safe side. if no to a garage or yes to daily public parking, i would be hesitant on getting one.

as long as you are careful, you should be fine. especially if you have a daily driver. good luck making your decision.

I have to agree with kepani. Everything above is true and are the biggest factors in owning an ITR.

when i lived in an apartment my GS was stolen, now i moved into a house and keep the ITR in the garage, so yeah the garage is really important, and if u have to leave the car in public for a long time get a VERY GOOD alarm or a kill switch.

I sold my PY ITR last year when I could not garage it anymore. Since I miss the car so much, I am currently looking at buying 98 CW or a 00 NH and debadging it to attract less attention, adding a kill swtich and good alarm goes in without question. I do have a safe place to park at work. Does the debadging and the rest reduce the odds of theft?

What do you guys think?

Buy a really good car cover designed for outdoor use and USE IT! Every time you park it anywhere that's not in your garage, put the cover on. I don't care if it's a 15-minute trip into the grocery store for two items. If they can't see what it is, they don't know they want to steal it.
