Hey guys, i decided i really need a better alarm. I am having some major issues deciding which one i want. I think i like the cliffort avantguard4 the most, but installed, with the options i want, is over 1 G! so i am trying to figure out if there are other ways to get the features i need more cheaply. I may end up doing my own install, i am very competant with a multimeter, and will have some time after the 1st of the year.

the most important hard to find feature i require, is a fuel cutoff, not ignition cutoff, relay. the reason, and i dont know why i have not thought of this before, is that a thief, could just snip the wires on the alarm horn, push the car and pop the clutch to start it up. this would even work with ignition kill enabled. i dont know why clifford is the only alarm company to have a fuel cutoff option, but it makes sense to me. so i was wondering if i can use the same relay that the ignition kill uses to kill power to the fuel pump?

while i am asking, i am wondering if you guys have any suggestions as to which alarm would work best for me. yes i have searched, and this is a side question that does not have to be answered.

i need:
dual stage shock
glass break sensor
pager (not required, but very nice)
fuel cutoff
pain generator
battery backup for siren
wondow control would be nice
obviously keyless entry
dome light supervision
remote start (again, not required, and has to be safe for manual tranny)
code hopping remote

 

why are you gettin an alarm anyway....Do you really think that an alarm is goin to keep your car safe? A fuel and ignition kill are your least expensive and most efficient mods. Plus...if anyone really wants your car they'll get it, not matter which alarm or kill switches you have. I don't know what you can do for a relay, but I have a fuel cutoff that my bodywork guy did. Works great....still have my car.

 

of course nothing is foolproof when it comes to car alarms, but i at least want to put up a fight.

stock alarm is not good enough

so, i am researching my options

where did you put your fuel switch?

 

grab yourself a mini toggle switch and run that inline to the ground wire leading to your fuel pump, DONE!!

Why don't I give you my address and leave the keys in the ignition ...it's hidden pretty well. Make it so you can get to it quick and easy from the driver seat so just in case someone is watching you, they can't get an idea where it is.
