Mission Statement
Cause for Alarm is primarily a do-it-yourself car security site focused around Hondas and Acuras. More than a simple car alarm install how-to, the goal is to implement a comprehensive car security setup making it impossible for a thief to bypass. I refer to this strategy of concealing and fool proofing the security as a stealth install.
The components that make up a stealth install include the following: a quality brand alarm installed and fully concealed, a battery backup, an array of sensors beyond the default shock sensor, a second siren, and an independent kill switch.
The Future of Cause For Alarm
This is a not-for-profit site. There are no banner ads, hitcounter, or any other means of generating revenue.
My plans for Cause for Alarm already cover version 8 which is a redesign based on the graphic design principles I'm learning in school, version 9 which will be the same design but a Milano Red DC Integra theme, and version 10 which will be a non-Honda / Acura based site. All versions 7 and above are to remain intact and fully independent of each other even though much of the content will repeated until version 10.
3 Stage VTEC, Limited Slip Differential
Since completing the engine swap I've converted to coil-on-plug ignition, replaced the exhaust with a new custom setup, swapped in factory cruise control, and driven the car 5000 miles back and forth between Utah, California, and New Mexico. I've been driving it daily since I settled down. The car has never given me any problems.
My immediate goal is to make the car more comfortable and pleasant to drive within my budget. My long term goal is to increase the power output with minimal compromise to fuel economy. Yes, it can be done.
