There is a switch above the clutch pedal that sends a signal telling whether the clutch pedal is depressed or not. You know how you can't start your car unless the clutch is depressed? Snip one of the wires going to the sensor and wire extensions with a switch (radioshack) Run the wires and place the switch wherever you feel necessary. If you'd like, make numorous extentions off the original and have 3-4 kill switches. Like me.

How bout a kill switch for the can't-keep-mouth-shut passenger? You mount it next to the power window switch so when the passenger does not shut up, they get shut up permanently!

On your Si its kind of, whats that word im looking for, oh yeah, a ****. You have this mini fusebox under the dash, undo the bolts and pull that thing out as far as you can. Crawl underneath so that your noggin is on the clutch pedal and look straight up. You will see a yellow connector towards the top of the clutch pedal. I believe its a blue wire and a black wire going into it. Snip either one and burn the sh-t outta your hands soldering on the extentions

just look at your clutch pedal. you will see a little switch with a white button stickin out of it pressing on the clutch assembly.... wire a simple STSP (single pole signle throw) on/off switch in series with that. for ex.... cut one of the wire from the switch... their are only two to choose from.... now a piece of wire from one end of the cut to a terminal on the switch, and run a piece from the other cut to the other terminal. Be sure you solder or use solderlless crimp terminals and tape everything so you have a real good connection... wouldn't wanna get stranded. your switch will have to be closed (on) for your clutch kill switch to work... and to start the car.

The clutch interlock is a good idea but what i did was wire a switch into the main ECU power relay. It's a large white wire in the drivers side harness. The Helms manual has the exact color code but i don't have it handy.

There is no way on earth anyone will be able to start the car if the ECU isn't getting juice.

As for the location of the switch that up to you my friend and should be considered highly private information. One of the best ideas i have ever heard of though was locating an on/off push button switch under a fabric or vinyl panel so that it is totally invisible and virtually impossible to find. It will require a little work but it's a very good idea.

Do you really want to reset your ECU every time you arm the kill switch?

It takes 42 muscles to frown, but it takes only 4 muscles to extend your arm and bltch-slap the **** upside the head.

Heres a link for a fuel pump kill switch. You can always pop a manual, but with no fuel u aren't going anywhere.
