Default starting car without the key

My car was recently stolen and the theives broke the ignition. I dont want to spend a grip load of $ for a new ignition switch. I was wondering if i can get the s2000 push start button...wire it somehow so i wont need to use the key? btw...i dont want to buy a used ignition switch..cause i dont want to have 2 different keys...1 for ignition and 1 for doors/trunk. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks.

an S2000 still uses a key, but instead of turning it that last bit of rotation to engage power to the starter, the "start" button does that...... I am sure you could rig it some how and use any kind of button you wanted... but why???

just save your money and do it the right way. Make the next thief work as hard as the first one.

get a used ignition switch, but you can swap out your key tumbler if its not broken....if it is, get the 3 other tumblers and swap em in, so u have one key

very easy, just click it 2 the second or 3rd position, and theres a little pin that you have to push in, it will slide right out once the pin is depressed...oh yeah, theres also a star screw that has to come out, but i just put vice grips around the bolt and took it out that way, cause i didnt have a bit that looked anything like that

Note my pin got caught on something on the way out so it needed a lil force, but other then that its very easy
