I was wondering if you can unplug something if you leave it sit for a few days so it won't start if someone tries to steal it?
I was also wondering how many miles should you get on a rotary motor if it was taken care of. I have a 87 Rx7 nonturbo. I bought it from a original owner 8 years ago with 120,000 miles on it now I have 171,000 and the previous owner took it to a mazda dealership for every oil change and everything else.. THanks

 

Pull ALL fuses under the hood.

150000 to 200000 is not uncommon. Which is pretty good for a sports car. It just depends on how well it6 was taken care of.

 

and the fuse cover

 

I'd rather leave the fuse cover on.
It's kinda obvious the fuses are missing without the cover on it.

Make sure you take ALL the fuses even though only the top two kills the car.

I can always take HEAD and RETRACTOR fuses and use them in the top two spots to get the car started, so that's why I said to take ALL of them with you.

There's a very small chance the thief could be walking around with extra fuses, but that's like a one in a million chance.

The other option is pulling the motor out when you park it, but then you'd have to lug the motor around. haha. j/k

 

but if they are kinda smart they can just close the circuit with som wires and drive= short/fire/toasted everything.....i mean they would have to know what fuse does what and what it is needed to get the car running...

 

Unless you are dealing with MacGyver, just lock the doors and remove some of the fuses IF NEED BE.

If you are dealing with MacGyver, or you just would rather leave the car intact why not just put it in one of those rent-able storage boxes?

Do the coolest thing in the world. Take your steering wheel off and put it on your keychain

 

lock it up in a lockable garage or u can take off a tire and keep the car on a jack and put the tire in your room and use it as a pillow.

 

take off the tire and put it in ur room and sleep on it like a pillow. or lock it up in a garage. do what u will.

Triple post and then hope no one notices...wait, crap, I mean, put up a big sign that says:
****CAUTION!!!*****

^^best idea yet^^
Pull the plug on the AFM I had some fun with a friend doing that once
Unplug the starter! Discharge the batt!
Oooh - take all the belts and pulleys and stuff off
Swap battery terminals LoL

 

I always keep fuses in my pocket so I could steal it if I wanted. Just kidding. We all know a RX-7 that sits won't start anyways so let nature take its course.
