I wired it with basically 3 relays. Any ?s, or any input feel free to post.

 

Reported and learn to cut

 

sweet..now its 100000 times easyer to steel ur civic.

 

What did you cut it with, a butterknife? (j/p)
I hope you still have to have the key right?
Id be afraid some dumbass would think they can steal the car and actually try it...
Put another kill switch in there too. Hide it well!

 

cleaner cut would have been nice.

 

I dont get it, is it HARD to turn a key to start the car?

 

exactly what im thinking. instead of one action, youll need 2.

I think it's more of a bling factor

at OP:
Nice, tho shoulda used a drill bit and then circled it out (widened it) Woulda worked better..

 

Yes I realize the cutting of the part was done very poorly. No biggie I'm getting this panel piece from someone and will take my time this time.

Also, yes it is easier to steal haha but the car is not my daily driver and I have other means of security installed in there (both electical and mechanical). The car has been like this for months now.

And I did it cause it was fun figuring out how to do it and actually doing it and enjoying the results.

Yea, I'd do it if my Civic weren't a daily driver, more because it's a fun gadget, I don't bother with the concepts of "do I really need it" because I'd rather have fun than be an over analyzer. Don't ruin the fun...

Its awesome that you took initiative to turn a creative idea into a reality.

I would actually relocate the start engine button to be under the steering column and a much smaller more inconspicuous button. That will reduce your theft factor by a lot.

 

Thats pretty sweet after watching the video.

 

Yea but if he hides it then his bling factor is gone! lol...

I think its pretty cool, id just hide the kill switch, and probably put another one somewhere as well.

 

thats pretty cool and since it not daily drivin it could be out in the open

 

I also did that but one step further put the unlock/lock button on the outside of the door

 

why would you do this.....

 

should've hidden the kill switch. cool nonetheless though.

 

I like it. i would have used a nicer switch and cut better, but props.

 

so what's the point? you still have to turn the key to unlock the steering colum

i believe that is an s2000 switch

 

^Not in my civic. The previous owner removed the whole ignition cylinder. (long story) so no steering lock

umm i think you should get this repaired asap.

 

Ummm.. did u just turn the car off by just flicking that switch off? what happens if ur drivin on highway and for sum odd reason, you turn that switch off accidently?

 

damn you a sav man... your car starts with a switch right in front of the steering wheel.. shoulda hid that **** atleast. but cool concept though. maybe i should do that and expletive my key
