Would rolling your car down the hill and popping the clutch in the same category as a start switch? if so then i guess I'm already in the cool zone.....

you silly billys...

a push button start is a HUGE mod that effects the performance of your car

for example, everytime you crank your engine, its never perfect, and

puts strain on ur engine and gears.....may not be much but its stain nun the less


with a push button, its starts perfectly everytime!

no strain, just gain!

Well, I finally installed my start button today. It took me a good four hours. Not because it was hard, but because I was trying to work off two sets of instructions and it was a *itch trying to find someplace to mount the relay so it won't rattle when I'm driving. I hope I mounted it in a good spot. I haven't road tested it yet.

Not to be boastful, but I think I did the best installation that I've seen yet! In all the pictures I see, the button is mounted crooked in the hole. I went through great pains to make sure I had it centered properly. I didn't widen the hole like everyone says you have to do. You don't. I just made 7 appropriately placed and sized notches and the thing looks perfect!

I'd give more detail, but I have to get to the emergency room. I just popped my shoulder out of the socket from patting myself on the back! Only one bad thing happened. I made a little scar on the face of my A/C controls when I accidently laid the panel on top of the relay.[]

Oh yeah, for those who are thinking about doing it, the cigarette ligher socket comes out kicking and screaming the whole way!! It took me more time to take that thing out and do the notches than anything else. And there's a little gray lever looking thing on the right side plug for the A/C controls that you have to flip up in order to pull the plug out.

I'll post pictures of my install and my Xenon headlights soon!

Later!

As promised:





<--Notice how good the button looks accented against the crimson interior. And you can just make out the red stitching in my new, 4-panel shift boot.

PLEASE don't revive dead threads. Especially if you don't have anything to say. This thread is about six months old.

Hate to bring up old threads, but does the push button work for an 06 also? Where's the best place to pick one of these things up from? I saw someone mentioning the use of an actual Ford GT part. Anyone have that done?
