john

It will work fine mate.

thanks sr rik so you havent had any power issues or ingnition failure?
I may try it since it's free thanks alot

can you still start the car with the key to ?

you can start the car with the key

but i disabled it, so its just the start button now.

My start button is a genuine honda s2000 button so its designed for it so i cant vouch for other items.

ive not had any problems no with power failures etc

batman722 has one also, it works very well.

1.) Yes if he screws up
2.) not if u live in a big city where ppl can steal your car,
( flat head into the ign. Turn, push and off we go!)

id definately take out my lighter for that. I'm a non-smoker so i dont need it, its just taking up space.

yea I did this a while back to my ST...easy install

Ignited makes them (illuminated and non-illuminated), there are 4 wires to connect.

1 - to all time power
2 - to ground
3 - to ignition/starter wire (black/white comming from your ignition)
4 - ACC power

you can either cut the black/white wire and make the button the only way to start the car, or splice into the wire and have either work. Either way you have to turn the key to the "on" postion.

pics for reference





about $40-$80 depending on what kind and where you get them

IMO the only way this is cool is if there is no key involved, and then your car will get stolen lol so i guess im SOL

I guess you could hook it up to your starter kill on your alarm, but it would still be pretty easy to steal.

Hey, it's more trouble putting the key in the ignition and then moving your hand and pushing the start button.

yeah exactly what i thought.. i figured.. why not just turn the key that extra turn rather than reaching down and pushing the button..

i guess its there to look nice. however, nice. it'll look sweet too.

some alarms have kill switches when their activated, so the car wont start unless the alarm us unactivated.. i think

the ignited ones u can find for 50 shipped on lildevilmotorsports.com, im gonna order one soon

can you get a push button starter or a remote starter with a manual tranny, I ask cuz i have to put in the clutch to start the car...

im not sure for the button. if there are wires or anything. but if its similar to an alarm, you would have to use relays for it.

you can get a remote start with a manual. I got one. easy to install, make sure you never leave your car in gear .... there are a few threads about it too

my buddy had it installed on 1 of his 3000gt's, it was cool, he left it in gear, started it up, and watched it roll away (he did it on purpose)

I always wanted to try that.. but was scared it would stall. So that really does work huh? I'd have to give it a try.

thanks ill look for those threads
