Unless you got a relay that was also an on off switch so that you could push it again to turn off the car.

I seriously doubt a keyless start could be made to work without some serious electronic hacking and modification. The keys in the civic do not use RF technology in any way. There's no receiver in the car; the key coding verification done by the ECU is completely done by a direct electrical connection to the key (you could check this by getting an ordinary key copy, then attempting to start the car with it, with the original key close by... the car wouldn't start).
Therefore, to do a keyless start, you would have to build an RF transmitter chip into the key, and a receiver chip into the ingition electronics somehow. And if you could somehow do that, then you'd still have to figure out a way to modify the ignition cylinder to get it to turn and unlock the steering column without the key, which is a near impossibility.
