As new member of H-T.C, I'm curious to know if any other ITR owners have a fully-working S2K 'Engine Start' button?

I do....I had it installed just on 1 year ago, by my local Honda dealer -





It came about, when I commented to the salesman (who owns a S2K) that the two things I like about his car that my ITR didn't have (beside the extra power), was the 6-speed gear box and the 'Engine Start' button. He said he couldn't help me with the gear box, but could with the button; as they had done it for another customer.

So I forked out the AU$110 (~US$50, but I'm sure the button would be cheaper than this in the States?) for the geniune S2K button and had them install it. This entails moving the dash dimmer dial, from the the right to the left side of the steering wheel, inserting the button in the hole that remains (it fits in perfectly, like it was made for it!) and rewiring the ignition to the button.

It's works/looks way cool and I don't know why the ITR didn't come with it to start with; as it's the ultimate 'boy racer' (aka 'riceboy') accessory!

Happy starting all....

Images don't work...

 

he linked them from his hard drive, that's why

 

lol


aussie - you have to upload them somewhere before you can link them. then link the url

 

Cheers everyone for the advice and good morning (it's 7:30am and I have yet to go to bed!), so please excuse my mistake....I'm a bit tired, but I will remedy all pictures I have posted tonight!

 

They do now....

 

Cool mod.

 

anyone sells these online?

 

I threw a S2k button in my GSR, but I didn't want to have to move the dimmer switch or tear apart the dash, so I put it where my cigarette lighter was and I relocated the lighter somewhere behind the radio and that whole mess.

I think it looks good there and a lot more people notice it then I think they would on the dash. People like to start the car, and it's really easy for people in either seat to do so.

I tried to take pictures before but they came out crappy.

The S2K button lights up too, and the color matches my head unit's red glow perfectly so it looks great at night.

 

That sounds really cool! Any idea how much this would cost from the dealer and how much the install would be? The dealer is too far away for me...I'm too lazy

 

Is that a MUGEN speedo I see?

 

Naw man...
I think all Aussie Rs come with the 260kph speedo and yellow needles stock...or is the just the UKDM Rs?

mmm....I'll just keep quiet now.....

 

Has anyone done this to a US R? IT would prolly fit real well in the cruise hole

 

yes people have done it

 

I wonder, does the fuel cut-off function of the key chip still work?

 

We'll be doing a how-to on this mod in October during the Gap meet. So if you guys still want details with pics/etc in late oct, they'll be on bseries.net. I'll post a url once it's done if I remember

 

Aussie,

So it cost you only $110 for the start button including installation? Want to get one of those now!!

 

Installation is a pisser but it can be done by yourself...heres a link to a seller on the web..

Yep, they are standard items in the Australian ITR....

 

Just to clarify, the S2K button alone was AUS$110....then you need to add $$$ for approx 1-2 hrs labour from an Auto-Sparky (just makes sure he knows about Hondas).
