Fulcrum2000 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Never heard of an issue with disconnecting a battery. If its a non airbag car id take the wheel off to make it super hard to take. Sadly if someone wants it they will get it regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited July 21, 2021 by Noz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulcrum2000 Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 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.

Scooter Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 There are a couple of fuel injection fuses you can remove (replace with broken ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
