I'm moving soon to a place with no offstreet parking. I've heard that integras aren't too difficult to steal. Should I fit an immobiliser and alarm?

If I decide to get one what should I go for? Something insurance friendly would probably be good.

UKDM's have a CAT2 immobiliser as standard, which should make it reasonably hard to nick without keys.

They are really easy to break into however, as are most 90's Hondas, so an alarm is a worthy investment of £250.

Or maybe just a visible deterent like a disklok just to stop people thinking they *might* be able to nick it.

Disklok is a good idea. Thanks.

I have seen someone get into one in 2 mins with no damage to the car, that was after the keys were lockedd inside. I would get a decent alarm it might even reduce the insurance premium!
