Damn, that's a neat setup! I have had a S2000 button in mine since 2006, but I need to hold it in for the starter crank and let go once it starts.
Nice work.

I installed one in my other car. Very cool for a couple of days, then novelty wore off very quickly.
Anyone notice you can buy "fake" starter buttons now?

Very nice to see! Would love to see pics when you get the button mounted!
If you get bored of the button you should find a way to start it from a remote!

Hey, that's neat. I like it. But what happens if the engine doesn't start for some reason? Does it keep on cranking till the battery goes flat?
