One other thing that can be done is put a delay switch on the hot lead going
to the coil wire a by pass switch under the dash , with the delay switch
activated the car will start for 30 to 45 sec or what ever you want then the
ign will shut down..
a few sec later it will restart... will drive the thief crazy, most will
abandon ship after the roadster stalls a few times
since the switch will reset it's self and the car will start again , most
theives won't figure it out ...
