push button starter???

[papiogagt]

anyone ever thought of doing this? i just think it would be one of those things where people would go "ooh ahh" when they ride with you. is it possible on a ga?

[JokerGT]

i've been thinking about it for a while and i'm sure it's possible. it would just be one of those small mods that gets people's attention.

[Tonyyank]

I think that would be one hell of a mod!!!!!! Lots of "ohh...ahhhh" Kinda like fireworks :D

[ViperGTSR]

i would love one, but where could we put it?

[Krazy]

I think there was someone a while back with a key pad starter (push in the right pin number, and it starts the car) -- I imagine it would be about the same as a push button starter.

There are kits available, check summit. You still need to use the key, however.

i was thinking about relocating the cigarette lighter and putting it there.

maybe not relocating it there but it would be nice to have 2 cig lighters in the car. hummm very interrested. let me know if someone finds out a good way to do it.

Could put the button right beside where the ignition is now?

Or down by the shifter.

In our stock cars, we have it on the right where the shifter is, in that area. Works good. Pretty lights and all..



(My car comes with 2 power points stock, :) )

i'm really interested but can't find a kit on summit or anywhere. can someone please give me a link to an item. thanks so much!

[Molson]

I don;t think it would be too hard. Just find the starter wires from the ignition and re run them to a push button. Key only needs to be in the "on" position.

CRC Racing sells pushbutton starters (I think) If not, I can find out for you if you like. They make whole switch panels for that.

[papiogagt]

hmm, send me that link anyway. just want to check out whatever is out there, by the way molson, you have a pm!

[Molson]

Tks Got it. I wish this had PM notify. I keep forgetting to look.
At AM it pops a window in yer face.

I will have to find the link.

[Cart]

my friend did it to this old nova cause he didnt have keys just had on switch and push button momentary switch

[papiogagt]

that'd be cool molson. and btw, they do have pm notify. go to "my profile" click edit options, scroll down till "enable pop up window when recieve a private message" and click yes.

[Irate]

If you find the link, please put it in this thread rather than PM'ing it, I'm sure others would like to see it.

BTW, I personally would put the button where the existing ignition is and relocate the key assembly to just infront of, and to the left of the gear shift, there's plenty of room under that plastic molding...

[GrandAmGT99]

Is there some way we could make it so you wouldn't need the key? It's a cool idea, but would be pretty shady if you still needed the key.

[Irate]

all cars equiped with a push-button starter that I know of still require keys

[GrandAmGT99]

really? the only car I've ever been in with one was an MR-2, and it didn't require a key...so I know it can be done, somehow.

[Molson]

I imagine it can be easily eliminated. Just cut out the cylinder and rewire it.. Need a switch for the ignition and a push button. (And a switch for ACC) no big deal.. We have a 86 TA and a 93 TA (Race cars) all on switches. Well, the 93 is only a TA body on a tube frame, but you get the idea.

Well, you kind of want the key. Otherwise everyone can walk in and start the car.

Either way, there needs to be some sort of a switch, key or not, that puts the cars electrical system in the "on" position, otherwise the car would sit there and crank forever.

Ok, here is some of what I have found..

(ignition switch, starter)

And this is what we use, REBCO...

That should do it!

I would go with rebco..
