I think you can only get it if you get a lowjack installed

you might be able to rig some sort of kill switch for the fuel pump, so that it cuts off when you flip it. I read somewhere that people hook this up with their alarms, so that when it goes off the fuel pump is deactivated.

You found the right person for the job! :chuckles:

Ask a lot of the basement posters about my kill switch story. :rofl: I OWN TEH KILL SWITCHERAGES!!!!111~

It's really simple. The only PITA part is removing your back seat. Basically you tap into the wire that comes out of your fuel pump (forgot which one, but there's only 2 so it's either one or the other). Hook it up to a flip switch and that's that. Just find a secret mounting spot and you're set.

By the way, here's how it works:

Flip the switch on and your fuel pump is active.
Flip it off and your fuel pump sends jack shit to the motor.

No fuel = no start

Bare with me, I'm quite sleepy...but here's how it goes (roughly):

Take some speaker wire (I used 14 gauge), some crimps, and possibly a drill. Don't forget your flip switch!

Remove your back seat.

That big round metal thing is your fuel pump. There should be 2 wires coming out of it; yellow and black/white. I forgot which one we spliced into, but it's either one of the two...crap, or was it both? I'm not sure if the black/white and the yellow were both tapped into.

Anyhoo, take your wires and crimp them onto the wires from the fuel pump. Run the wires up to your flip switch, and connect one to the 'on' prong and one to the 'off' prong.

That's about it. Find a place to mount your switch, and be sure you have the right amount of wiring to be able to get to that spot.

Put your seats back and you're done.

Gnite....zzzzz

There's a huge thread in the audio/security/electrical section on team-integra.net on fuel kill switches. It's a "pinned" topic in that forum, so you can't miss it.
