Default Perfect S2000 Start Button Location

No, I don't have PhotoShop...



Trying to get some info to see if anyone's done this before. I saw this a few years ago at crxchaos.com and it just crossed my mind today. I honestly don't even know if S2K start button will be too long to fit in the RSX's original cylinder.

Also, the "normal" ignition would be moved to the front cigarette lighter location.
Any opinions, info, etc?

That seems like it would be a huge pain in the *** to have to reach down and have your keys way down by the cig lighter

Is it that hard to turn your key one more click? Save your time and effort and put it into something more worthwhile.

Actually, stiking the ignition where the cruise switch is and installing the start button in the cylinder would probably be an even better idea.

even with the s2k button installed...you still have to turn your key to on and then press the button....at least i think so...so im not really sure how youd even go about wiring that.

Get a really small button and just put it anywhere. It doesn't have to be a "start" button.. and reasonable momentary button would do. The s2k start button is a little big to try to rig somewhere.

why dont you just get the JDM engine start kit i have seen it on icbmotorsport.com its the whole kit with the plate that goes over the cruise control button its everything because i think putting it where the key thing is is just stupid you cant even see it!

Dude has too much time on his hands. Even if somebody gave me a start button it would be the last thing I'd work on. Personally I wish the ignition key was on the left of the steering wheel, just like the old Porsche 911 location. I like starting the car with my right hand ready to release the brake then move to the shifter.
