What should I do with this button?!

Hey guys, if you all recall, I bought a "flame throwing kit" off of e-bay which (surprise surprise) ended up being a piece of crap. Anywho, after destroying it w/the hot rotary exhaust, I returned it. Well, I returned ::most:: of it... I still have the "activation" button ::oops, must have forgotten to send it back :: anywho, I want to hook it up to something. It's just a simple switch button, closed when pushed, open when not pushed. What in the world should I hook up to it (no, not nos, I'm too poor.) I have thought maybe a fog horn... (tiny button, huge noise, kinda funny). Any ideas?

sorry if this doesn't seem 1st genish, if mods want to, feel free to move this to the lounge. Thanks!





It's the wee little button all the way on the right.

Run your power lead to your stereo head unit through it as a kill switch on the left side in case somebody rips your right arm off and beats you with it for saying in your signiture that you have 10.5" tweets.

i think u should take it off and break your neon under glow sticks, and then bash in your control ***, then you should sell it and buy a matching gas pedal

Get yourself a spare rear hatch glass wiper motor assembly and mount it somewhere up near the drivers side glare visor. Wire it up to activate to the switch.

Affix a mannequin's arm to the motor assembly and whenever you feel an urge to purchase such useless crap like that again- press the button and bitch slap yourself.

lol, silly david grimes, you need to look a bit more carefully, I said they are "infinity kappa 10.5 tweeters" not 10.5" tweeters. lol, can you imagin the pitch 10.5" tweeters would hit?! pretty sure it would make my BRAIN bleed, let alone my ears technically they are 10.5t tweeters

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...+10.5+tweeters



any other ideas for the button?

hahaha

rxseven - not an under glow neon, just a few in the cabin for some mood lighting for fun , and I have the matching gas pedal, it's a bit too long, and was preventing me from flooring it, so, I took it off and will machine it to fit better once I get home from college.

tom - I didn't think it was useless, it was really just for fun, and I have a pretty well tuned car so I couldn't get it to "naturally" shoot flames like a lot of us can, although in all honesty, an "auto bitch slapper" would be rather humorous.

How 'bout your reverse lights, or bumper mounted spots. You could stick it to anyone who came up behind you with their brights on. Or those who would tailgate the 7.

Since I have subs against the rear of my hatch (check cardomain in sig for pix), I think I will mount a high powered light on each of them, facing a bit up, and a bit towards the drivers side... a quick press of the button or two should get most guys off my back (if the raw exhaust fumes don't...).

I might start this process tomorrow, I'll keep you all updated

yeah, I thought about that too. Also, the strobe goes on 120V so I'm not gonna bother. I think I'll just go with two bright lights.

Maybe a rearward facing windshield washer nozzle? Aim it right at the tailgating car behind you.

Wait!!!! wire it to a relay wired to your all tail lamps so you can kill them at night to loose people.

Not cops of course that wouldn't be legal!!

Write "pass. eject" on it and hook it up to a theater seat shaker under the passenger seat.

Does **** come out of the houndstooth velour easily ?

That is actually VERY funny and I have access to some Bass Shakers (that's what I belive they are called in the business)...

hmmmmmm.....

and no, I don't have an e-fan (yet) but when I do I'm going to get a black magic 150 so no need for any button. As far as a "kill switch" goes, I would need to wire it up to a relay first, and I have never done that before so I don't know if I want to mess around w/something like that.


Quick Reply: What should I do with this button?!
