Default setup "toetap" "kill switch"

not sure if this is the correct place to place this thread.

been looking around at many ways people try securing the car. wanting to put some "dummy" stuff in there to make the car harder for someone else to start. i've got a few ideas.

one way is the "toetap" for the starter. have to use, say, your foot tapping or hold your foot a certain little area to make the starter turn. theoretically, really have just somewhere where a switch needs to be on or some sorta contacts held together for the starter selenoid to get the go-ahead from the ignition.

looking at this pic http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/te...itchWiring.gif

i'm looking that i think i should place this "switch" of some sort on the 33 white/pink wire. please correct me if i'm wrong if thats the wire not going to the selenoid.

if thats write, should it be before or after any of the two other switches?

if you are really crafty, you can turn your cig lighter into a starter kill. All you need to do to kill the motor is pull the lighter out of the socket and its done. Simpler ways include just putting a toggle switch on the power wire to the fuel pump relay.

i agree with the toggle on the fuel pump relay. that sounds so common from all the forums i've read. and that can be a seperate deterant. i'm actually looking at a few things to do but was really concerned about the selenoid part.

If you look at the starter solinoid, you will see a wire that goes to it, I believe its green. That is the signal wire from the key, when you turn the key, the wire activates the solinoid and then turns the starter, all you would need to do it put a switch inline with that line and you can use a push type switch, so you will have to hold the switch down, and turn the key at the same time in order to start.
