Has anyone had any theft or attempts with your 4th or 5th gen Honda Prelude? Why is it such a problem with acura integras? I am going to buy one and it will be outside of an apartment complex and I dont want it to get stolen.

 

I guess almost all depends where you live (a bad neighborhood is a bad neighborhood) and i guess i'll recomend you to don't call the attention so much, also a good old alarm is always usefull! ahhh make friends! LOL and when you race with your lude . don't just let the ones that you kicked theyr asses where you live and where you park, LOL normally i don't race for at least 1 mile from where a live (specially ricers lol)
All my sugestions are pretty retardad but work fine for me LOL (and i used to live in a bad, bad, neighborhood once, nice condo but very ghetto people) but i've always made friends LOL!

actually all those are all good ideas
if no one hates you they wont hate on your ride

 

i hardly think someone would steal your car because "they dont like you" or "you werent nice to them"
if you have a good motor or a system they will steal your car.

the reason most hondas (before immobilizer's and transponders) are easy to steal is because of the ignition switch/door lock/hood cable simplicity.
along with overall easy to understand chassis wiring that spans different models/trims/years...and even generations.

im not going to explain how i know these things but you can take my word for it.

u could steal any 90-01 integra regardless of trim in about 60 seconds with a flat head screwdriver, a philips screwdriver and a hammer.
why dont i do this??? because im not going back to jail

lesson over

install a kill switch and reroute the hoodlatch cabling.

 

Are fourth gens any more prone to stealing than 5th gens?

 

we will need statistics to back up anything on that topic
although i would say in a hardened thief's mind, a 4th gen prelude is 90% less likely to contain a h22 under the hood compared to all 5th gens having one. im basing this on the fact that from what ive seen, ur car gets jacked and is in pieces within 48 hours. like nothing left except the unibody.
and a DOHC VTEC motor, especially a GSR is the jackpot for these guys
thats like $2000 on the street.
