this is actually a good mod for theft deterant, but only if you hide the button somewhere, like in your ashtray or under the dash. the way most car thieves steal cars is to pop off the ignition or drill it with titanium bits and start it with a screwdriver etc. But since the ignition wont start the car after this mod they cant get it started. Not a lot of car thieves hot wire cars anymore.

A lot of people use a push button in a car that has high compression so you can turn the motor over then turn the ignition on once the moter is spinning.

It shouldn't be hard to get that relay just a 30 Amp automotive relay, you should be able to get it at any parts store.

My S2K button arrived today, now I'm trying to figure out what bulb it uses so I can switch it to red LED so it matches the rest of my interior lights.

BTW for any that might need it here is the Part # for the S2000 Engine Start Button:
35881-S2A-911

just curious, did you guys get yours on Ebay (either just the button, or the 70 dollar kit)?? Or did you get it somewhere else like a honda dealer or something??. I would get the kit, but i think i can get the relay and wires for cheaper, and then just buy the button...
