dinkus 10 Posted July 16, 2004 :lol: at the picture :D And ooh an EMP from the back of a Police car...pretty scary if you've got a pacemaker... but then if you're the idiot who stole a car, you deserve it really :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aposegil 0 Posted July 16, 2004 yeah big like in america and seen in the Fast and Furious movie they use trigger guns that sends a shoch to the car frying the ECU meaning it comes to a stop :( so Carbed cars are the only way to go :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely you can harden an ECU to EMP pulses, carb's are black magic :D Edit: err EMP pulses should just be EMP, as the P means pulse anyway ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted July 16, 2004 plenty of tin foil around the ECU and wiring with it earthed to the car's bodywork will stop this from killing your ECU... :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted July 16, 2004 Nah I'm just a geek :D ...and I'm a broadcast engineer who has to work out how to stop interference whenever I install some new equipment.... ;) Personally, I'm pretty happy that if anyone should steal my car, then the paging message it'll send me will alert me to the fact, and the text message I send it back (which will kill the engine) should stop them from getting too far... oh, and the GPS location in the first text will let me know where they are so I can report it to the police... 8) :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted July 16, 2004 See is what you really want is for it to stop the engine and roll to a halt.. then tazer the little buggers and lock the doors. So then about 4hrs later when the police turn up :roll: they're nicely packaged to be taken off to the clinker and introduced to a truncheon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
