my red rolla had push button start, real easy to set up. Good for if you stall it and want to start in a hurry. i put my button where the choke normally lives. Got an idea for my new setup, might have some bearing to my current drift toy![]()
I hate all those imobolizer things. Right now I drive serveral cars a day, and I have trouble starting most of them. There is always a button to push or something. I just have to sit there, foot on clutch, foot on brake, press button on keyring etc trying everything till the engine starts. So much wasted time.
It is not uncommon to have pushbutton start on a old car that would otherwise need a new ignition switch. The key and steering lock is left untouched.

it's good and bad.
easy to do, but if you're going to do it, do it well. you may as well have isolator switches for the fuel pump & ignition module on the side.
you could also do it as a anti-theft, by wiring the start button somewhere tricky, but for a daily driver, meh
If someone is electrically minded with gadgets and stuff they could rig something up to start by remote, or, just get a remote starter kit, hehehe.. SUPER SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFE!
its not hard, due to ecu issues it was easier to add a 'start' circuit. Mine bypasses the igntial barrel. But still have to turn it to 'on' as this powers up the ecu... Mines also in the old choke place![]()
Can you get any better pictures when you have it installed?
