So I am just curious about doing a start button or switch. So if you turn the key to on and have a switch or something. I don't know, just seems more racecar...ish. Does the sound queer or cool? I'm undecided. andy thoughts?

When I installed a custom dash in my Suzuki Samurai, I replaced my starter with a covered switch and a momentary switch for the starter. I have gotten so used to not having keys out while I am in a car I left my keys in the 914 5 times in the first week I drove it regularly. I have added this mod to my 914 to do list. You will love it.
Another security measure I have heard of is to use a toggle switch reroute the wiring for the horn button so that when you push on the momentary toggle switch you hit your horn button and start the car. The when the toggle switch is released, the horn button works normally. Jim |

The when the toggle switch is released, the horn button works normally. Now thats some serious security by obscurity!!! Combine that with the handbrake idea and you could also prevent DUI. Gotta have a clear mind just to remember how to start the thing! |

I just had this mental image of a drunken 914 owner sitting in his 914 with the key on honking the hell out of the horn and muttering something like "goddam car won't start".
