MJobe, Globe, Not Sure,
You guys are funny. Do you really think I can pick who´s moving the car around and drives it on/off the boat?
The people working in the harbour/driving the car are not the same people I meet when I drop off the car at the shipping company.
They wont sit in my car and make sure it´s ok for a month even if they are crazy expensive.

My friend is driving new cars in the harbour all night long and they are all from different shipping companies and from different parts of the world.

Ok, back to reality. The gas pedal blocker is great, like the temp sensor as well but 7000 rpm and cold engine is still bad.

Not for normal driving, but for loading an unloading, it would be fine. If you're worried about the diff, get two spare tires and put them both on the rear.

i believe its 3000 rpm limp mode

^^^ Best solution so far. Unless you have the balls to go show 'em the piece and 'note' them in person.

Simplest and cheapest way is to stop by Lowes or Home Depot and buy a small cable clamp for a buck and install it on your throttle cable limiting the amount the throttle will open. It will start, idle, and run just fine but will not rev past the point you set the clamp. Suggest 3000 RPMs or so-- that should give enough power to get it on and of the boat and not create any issues
if you look at the cable, the clamp would go on the cable between the place it's attached to the throttle and the black outer housing. You'll have to disconnect it to put the clamp on but it's a 5 minute job to take off and on.
This way, you'll limit the speed of the car without risk of any damage from disconnecting any sensors

Mr Jet: Agree, that´s a good solution. Will do that.

Not Sure

I'm not trying to be funny - I'm just saying people who will do bad things to your car shouldn't be trusted no matter what precautions you take. You shouldn't have to disable your car just to make honest men out of a bunch of douchebags, it might not work. Hire a babysitter, escort the car yourself or fly it on a plane - maybe you can "McGuyver" a webcam into your car for surveillance...just don't unplug a sparkplug and hope these a**holes are nice to you.

For example - what would happen if you put the clamp on your throttle cable and the douche driving your car decides to force the pedal to the floor because he's a douche and he thinks something is wrong with your throttle? Something will break, and the douche will deny everything. And you'll be stuck trying to get these people to fix it. Just my 2 cents.

I would ocnsider doing a combination of 2 suggestions above. Unplug the coolant temp sensor near the firewall, under the intake manifold so that it won't VTEC or go over 7K RPM's, then put 2 donut spares on the rear.

I would definitely NOT do any of the silly suggestions above about warnings, notes, payoffs, pictures of guns, etc., since they will most likely increase the chance of someone dicking around with your car.

If you want piece of mind, you can also install a CarChip to see what they did with your car.

Put a lock on the throttle? 3000rpm in neutral can barely get the car moving in 1st gear if I'm not mistaken, let alone try to say climb a small ramp to get onto a storage unit/truck.
