Does anyone have a good post or link about installing an s2000 kill switch. I had one in my old civic and it worked great. I have done many searches but never found a DIRECT how to. I just want a simple fuel pump kill switch but i have no idea what wire to tap into. I could just go to the fuel pump itself however its under the soft top and i am not going to all that trouble to get to it. Any advice??

Hire someone to sit in a van, 300 yards away with a 6x24 scoped .338 Remington Ultra Mag sighted in on the driver's door. It may be expensive and slightly illegal (and potentially messy) but it's 100% effective. Seriously, look at Craigslist for a cheapo car. The stress of NOT having to leave your S at an airport is worth the cost.

As long as it's only "slightly" illegal.

Gotta love the aiport: They've got the right to strip search you, but have no security for the parking lots.

looking for steering wheel locks and other anti theft devices. any recommendations for parking in shady places ? in this case, it's airport parking from monday morning to thursday night, every week. got a lo-j installed already.

cheers !
Just noticed you are from Tracy. What part? I live in Modesto and work in Tracy.

As for security, you should hook up a fuel cut off switch and hide it somewhere in the vehicle

Wheel locks, seat locks and Ravelco. Don't know how true Ravelco's claims are, but my car now basically has 2 very hard to find kill switches. Still don't think I'd leave it at unattended airport parking.
How much did you pay for your ravelco system. I was thinking about looking into this.

Why not leave it at the airport, its just a car will it be afraid of the airplane noise ? last time I flew out for work, I left my S at LAX for 4 days in the covered long term parking, since it was covered I even left the top down.
You left your car at LAX for 4 days with the top down and nothing happened to it??? If thats true you should go to Vegas because you are one of the luckiest people I have ever heard of.

With how often the seats get stolen I would think you were crazy to knowingly leave the car unprotected for 4days.

I wold call a taxi and have them take me and pick me up from the airport before I left my car there to be stripped

anti theft for me is
-steering wheel lock in shady areas
-viper alarm with remote pager and extra options installed such as a perimeter sensor so I can leave my top down and if someone sticks their hand in lower than the top of the doors it will trip the siren
-tilt sensors so somone cant jack the car up
-impact sensors
- keeping head unit in center console with it locked
trying to park in plain sight (not behind buildings or in empty parking lots)
