Pic Request: where did you guys put your engine start button in you coupe

pd0019 · 12-06-2008, 03:13 PM

as the title says...just trying to get some ideas. i know sedans have a specific spot to place them but what did everyone with coupes do.

i know i can place it in my hazard spot and move my hazard button, but just wanted to see what everyone has done. thanks.

No. Similar though.

im thinking of doing the same, maybe cutting out the lil holder on the right lower side and make a fiberglass holder just to put something in the hole and keep it kinda outta sight.

worst idea ever lol

I used the housing from the FD2, and lost my mirror controls (temporarily). I figured, I'm the only driver (and should be the entire time) - so why would my mirrors need to be adjusted?

I might cut a hole inside the little cubbie-hole for the controls in the future though.

Is there a DIY for a push button start installation ?

For those that have done this mod what difficulty rating would you give it between 1 and 10, 10 being the hardest ?

The most pointless thing ever, you have to turn the key almost all the way then press that little button, where is the point?!

if it was keyless like all other cars with push start..then that would be a different story..

btw im not hating, its not something someone cant afford..

phoenixdrago12 · 12-21-2008, 02:21 AM

Agreed. Although fun to have around.. it is very pointless...

is the starter button hard to put in? i see you need custom wiring ? can any shop do this? =) also once its in is it needed? or can i still just turn key?

darkrom · 12-29-2008, 11:01 AM

Does this pose an additional security risk at all? I would think not since you still need the key in the ignition to start the car.

Pointless=yes.
Much more fun=yes.

I'll get one when they are dirt cheap and I am looking for some finishing touches.
