A forummer here sometime ago messaged me and asked me about the hoodlock that I was harping on about in some of the security chatter threads. I had a spare hoodlock so I offered to sell it to him at a discounted price.
I met up with the bloke and wow, he had a pretty awesome EG hatch and the minute he started speaking, it was non-stop VTec and "scared it'll be stolen" stories for a good 15 minutes before we carried out our transaction swap and went on our separate ways. I recommended to him to have it installed at CV Audio where I initially bought the hoodlock and so he did.
Just today I received this message from him :
So does the hood lock work? Yup.
Will it save you from getting the car stolen? Probably not.
Will it increase the chances of you finding your car? Definitely yes. Especially if you have a GPS system hidden somewhere in your engine bay.
Thought I'd share a good feel story today
