SMACS Guys in the Stockport Area
 
I heard today off a friend that 3 masked men force a guy to hand over his keys to his Pride and Joy Impreza..

Now this happen around the Hazel Grove area..not sure if it was last night or this Morning... but apparantly it made the local news..

So guys be careful when out and about....

wah 24 February 2006 07:33 PM

No worries mate I have trusty old Billy behind my passeger seat ;)

WarrenSTI 24 February 2006 07:41 PM

Same happened to the guy at from Sainsburys petrol station he had a Focus ST.It was taken from his drive in Bramhall as he was getting out of his car. He said to me that he thinks he was followed home.

Small tip--- if you have a disc lock keep the keys to it separate from your car keys (may be on your house keys.)
If you are approched for the keys and the disk lock is on and they have your car keys they won't get very far, or if your car keys are stolen its a bit more of a pain to steal the car if the disklock is on and no key for it!!

Lee 2.0T 24 February 2006 07:43 PM

Nice Tip..:thumb:

wah 24 February 2006 07:58 PM

For those none belivers ask CW42 lol

supertouring 24 February 2006 08:17 PM

Whether you are a non-believer or not, always good to be vigilant at all times, when driving around or getting home.

Keep safe.

wah 24 February 2006 08:19 PM

I know what you mean Dai if I feel uneasy the locks go and windows a firmly up ;)

Beefy 24 February 2006 09:17 PM

I heard of something similar happening recently at the Sainsburys car park in Wilmslow in broad daylight. Be careful people.

Gillp95 24 February 2006 09:22 PM

I'm always driving with the doors locked, no matter what car I'm in. Too many idiots about these days.

cw42 25 February 2006 12:43 AM

Yep, doors locked on every trip these days, since getting a scoob, always have been. All the more reason to get a proper look at that alarm system I've seen. If you get car jacked, you get out, walk away, and then disable the car from any phone at your disposal. Along with tracker and it's own gps equipment, you'd be hard pressed to lose the car :)

cw42 25 February 2006 02:41 AM

LOL, it wasn't you doing the jacking was it speye91 :D

Martin-STI 25 February 2006 08:31 AM

First thing I did was change the alarm settings of the car to lock on start up.

Then due to all the reports of nasty people.

I had the Clifford Black Jak fitted in the first week of ownership.

You get in with the keys start the engine, off you go!!!:luxhello:

30 Seconds after you press the brake pedal for the first time. The Bj starts to chirp. You now have another 30 secs to imput code or engine will slowly cut out. Also as its chirping the brake lights are flashing to warn anyone up the arse of your car that there is something wrong and they also know that the car in front may be stopping.:eek2:

Add to that, as soon as drivers door is opened it re-arms its self also (can be attached to all doors if so wished), so if ripped out of car in anyway or forced. They can drive away from you but the car will not be far due to engine will cut out.:wonder:

As the owner you can now phone the police and know your car isnt far.:hjtwofing

The way to operate as the true owner is turn on car imput code which is a very descreet pad which is next to intercooler spray switch and away you go.:thumb:


Dead simple. :p

The unit is incorporated in to the loom so cant be just ripped out by the thief and has a life time guarentee also

Martin-STI 25 February 2006 08:57 AM

I could ask my mate at Trilogy about a group buy or even a discount for SMACS members if anyone interested. Cant remember how much it cost due to had stereo and B2 taken out of old car and put into this one all at the same time so bill was for complete work.
Worth thinking about.

My2000KEV 25 February 2006 10:32 AM

Me and my mates all have black jacks much saver, My mate fits alarms with black jacks in his spare time im sure he could do it very cheap if any one interested? My mate said get a quote and he will beat it! :luxhello: :D

cw42 25 February 2006 12:53 PM

Thanks for the info you two, could you both go ahead and get quotes for fitting blackjax for smacs members please? :)

chris.

stubs 25 February 2006 01:26 PM

From what I remember, the normal price for blackjax fitted is around £175

im very interested in this mate can you pm me some details please?

cw42 25 February 2006 03:59 PM

There's a group buy on at the moment for a place in brum http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=479633
£125 :D
Would we have to come to your place for fitting stubs? If so, where is that?

thanks,
chris.

If you're based in the North West area, I suppose I could come out to you, but would prefer to fit them at home, or do a "group fitting" to save time.
If you were to bring the cars to my home address, i'm sure I could knock the price down to £120.

If you're interested in a group session, email me and I'll work out a common date/time to arrange the session.

My email address is stubs@bulldoghome.com

scoobyverysoon 25 February 2006 05:02 PM

Its a cracking peice of kit and I can fully reccomend Trilogy for fitting :thumb: - the only downside is if it backfires on you (because you imput the code wrong) you look like a right muppet stuck in the middle of the road with all your alarms going off (pretty funny really) :brickwall

regards

Justin

Martin-STI 25 February 2006 07:14 PM

I will ask at Trilogy but £120 would be hard to beat I imagine.:notworthy

It is a cracking bit of kit and would recommend to all.:thumb:

As for the code, I can do it with my eyes shut now. :cool:

It also has a valet mode for RR days and servicing etc.:luxhello:

Can show any one on Thursday how it works.:p

Beefy 26 February 2006 09:10 AM

aye im interested to see the system in operation too.

Martin-STI 26 February 2006 09:14 AM

No probs, anything to help fellow members against the scum.

NWMark 26 February 2006 10:28 AM

Ive had this in a previous car before (as part of a full clifford system) and it is superb, just ask my girlfried who got caught out in a hospital car park and all the security gaurds thought she was nicking it :)

Martin, if installed separately does it still use the two button input, ie. one for the number and other (star??) button to move to next number??

Yes it does,

You get the 2 button valet switch and clifford LED.

The valet switch is used to de-activate the BlackJax.
