Engine Start Button
Hey I want to install an engine start button in the ride. I saw that that RX8 comes with one and this button i found says it can be mounted in the cigarette lighter adapter.... Does anybody have this installed on their car and how hard was the install? I have searched too btw.////

my RX8 didn't have one.
the install can't be that hard... you just wire one side of the button to ignition off the barrell and one side to ground... pressing the button completes the circuit and away you go.
what is it with people and push starters today?!

I did it on mine. It was extremely easy. Used a Genuine Honda S2000 Start Button, 30 Amp Relay and a Floppy disk drive power connecter to connect to the start button. Here's what it looks like in my car.

Someone PM'd me for the how-to-install. Here's the site I followed along with iluvmyrx7.com (which is gone).

For those of you who dont want to solder the pins of the button (that and you have to remove some plastic if you want to solder them) you can use a Drive to Floppy Power Y-adapter for a PC. The plug fits perfect into the Honda Start button. Here's a pic.

To make it more unique and race-car like like someone said.
Even the s2000 itself you have to use the key in order for the start button to work.
I mean would you just wanna use the button alone to start the car without the need for the key? Im sure that could work if you wire it differently. Might as well leave your keys in your car then cause thats what its gonna be like if you do that.

Its all up to your taste. I ran into a guy with a Cwest kit on his car, and a completly stock interior. My FD is bone stock on the outside but plenty of mods under the hood and interior.
I dont like the botton as mush as I dislike the lighter that I will never use.
LMAO.... How about a retina scanner through the PFC commander ?

There is a rotor-shaped start button on the market, for those that don't know. For those that do, click here
BTW: There is also a search button at the top of the forum.

No it's not Turbo'd
I guess some people have never had issues with the stock ignition cylinder, some people have never had issues with 5'th gear syncro, and some people have never had the door handles snap off...
If you're not of the lucky few... alternatives to the Ignition Cylinder problem might be found by installing a new cylider, or a start button, since it's the actual turn to start that fails, not the Engine On or Acc position...

Jesus christ it's his car, who cares? How is it rice? I think it's pretty neat. And if the person never uses their lighter anyways, why not? I would consider this but I always have a phone charger or something plugged in there.
