A friend of mine's 1997 integra type r (no imobilizer) was recently stolen and recovered stripped due to how easy it was to defeat the ignition.
This has me thinking on what options exist to add an imobilizer chip type system to the nsx (pre 97) so the car cannot be taken by simply forcefully defeating the key. I'm not looking to add an alarm (don't like the aftermarket alarms and want to keep this car stock and simple) and am fine with the oem keyless entry of my 1993. I also realize that with a flatbed or tow truck anything can happen.
All I'm looking for is the simplest and most non invasive way to prevent the car from being taken by forceful override of the ignition switch or hot wiring
The solution could be as simple as someone telling me the best old school way to simply install an ignition kill switch (crude but solves the issue in a simple way but is manual). Or hoping perhaps it could be even more creative by doing something automated that uses oem chip type technology added creatively in series with ignition Maybe a chip in the oem keyfob (I like the titanium key) that must be placed near a sensor added in in order to start the car)
Let's see if we can get some ideas here
Thanks
