Default Launch Control Button... where to put it.

Hey guys, my Hondata S200 is getting the final touches of the install tomorrow and I have to decide where I want to put the launch control button.

I currently have a V-AFC mounted where my ashtray once was, but the V-AFC is no longer needed and is being removed. I was thinking of mounting a peice of Carbon Fiber (cut to shape from a buddies broken hood) across where the ashtray was as a custom peice and mount the button there. Any other ideas???

I think the CF peice in the center console would look pretty good too!

I would wire it to one of the horn buttons.

How about put the ashtray back and get a round switch to fit in the location of the lighter?

Dave, Launch control is basically a secondary revv limit that is controlled by a button, so you press the button and the limiter is moved to a position in ideal launch range (user defined). The program is set to revert back to the normal rev limit at a certain vehicle speed (user defined). Its pretty much to get consistent launches and I guess some people like it, I prefer having direct control over gas pedal modulation...you just floor the gas and it bounces off a lower revv limit until it reaches a certain speed where you start going normal.

This can be done with both Hondata and Uberdata.

I always use the 8400rpm rev limiter when I launch...wonder why I'm on my 5th set of tires?

What about the blank space where the cruise button goes on gsr's and other 94-up integras.

Hondata you can put it almost anywhere you want to.

Uberdata has been known to work really well with using the A/C switch (you must have taken out your A/C of course). But some people have had success with custom buttoms like the Hondata one.
