Disabling a Supra

Hi All

 

So I am taking my Supe to someone's house for a few days and just a quick question.  With the sharp increase in value, even though it is immobilzed and has a crook lock on the steering wheel what is another easy way to make sure nobody can half inch it, ie stop it starting even if I tried with the key and fob, but without causing any harm.  I remember someone telling me disconnecting the battery for a long period on a Supra does something to the ECU potentially which isn't good.  

O was thinking just pulling the starter motor fuse every time I leave it, would that be the best option?

I've got a battery cut off switch. Only thing that's powered then is the alarm. Could disconnected the fuel pump just a plug under the tank guard in the boot.

Be worth getting a more advance alarm. I've got a proximity alarm and a movement alarm on mine. Kicking a wheel sets it off.

I'll pull the starter relay then and do a couple of the other bits too, thanks guys, less hassle than taking a back wheel off!  While we are on the subject of alarms Noz what alarm(s) do you have?  I have been looking to upgrade mine but when I have done this in the past any one I pick just acts as a night time air raid siren periodically until I switch it back out again.

I've got a bad boy Clifford 650. Windows close when I alarm it and even had some other options.

Never had any issues. Even has an output wire triggering when the alarm goes off. Always wanted to make a GPRS module with warning alert to sms my phone when it's it's trigger. Probably overkill lol... but I like stuff like that.
