Nitrous, yes.
Line Lock (roll control),
Kill Switch,
Manual Fan switch,
Tuning aids,

The list goes on and on. Just about any custom accessory you wire up needs a switch.

I've always wanted one of those "Passenger Eject" buttons.

I love it. I should really do that.

For mine, I have the power switch for my cutout and any other accessories I want to run off that power. I wouldnt reccomend one that you use a lot (like the actual cutout switch) because it's a bit of an awkward reach (at least for me).

Since my horn button doesnt work i had to mount this ugly button on the steering wheel so it would pass safety......So its still there never bothered to fix it, and whenever someone new is in the car they ask "Whats that button do" I laugh and i say its my nos....when they say " sure oooooK there buddy", I push it and then put the gas to the floor, giving that effect.....lol.... yeah im weird like that.....seeing as its a 6cyl....its actually sad....but they get a kick out of it

the passengers or other drivers??

the passengers get a kick out of it cause they hear the horn and they know I dont have NOS

Other drivers give me that "evil eye" look because I just honked for no apparent reason....hahah

I have had a few people reach out and push it so I yelled out "NOO!!" they jump a bit but when they find out nothing happened they laugh, or hit me...

lol I didnt even think of what other drivers would think..

My friends all know not to play with anything in my car. They all know about my mods and stuff, they are too afraid they'll break something, so they dont touch.

...Though one likes to play with the exhaust cutout switch...

Is that an S2000 engine start button? Looks pretty good. A little cluttered there, but different.

Yeah, the start button is directly from a honda parts counter through a buddy of mine. The rest of the buttons and switches will be taken out in a few days. I'm relocating the window switches there.

Ok, ground the psgr seat really well, and then label the button "you'll be sorry" and connect that to an ignition coil.

Run a line from your windshield nozzles inside the car, put it through the center passenger's side dash vent with a tiny nozzle on it- inquisitive passengers push the button and get squirted in the face with washer fluid (or substitute water if you are not in danger of freezing, don't want to stain your interior)

When I was in high school in this tiny Minnesota town I grew up in, I had a battered VW Rabbit. It had a crunched in passengers front fender, and not realising I could remove the fender and push it out from the inside, I drilled holes in it and used a slidehammer. I ran a line with a tip out one of the holes, and before school I'd "cruise main" (the enitire one and a half block) and spray the unsuspecting kids on the sidewalk.

I got pulled into the office for that one, thank *** it's not on my permanent record......"Sir, your resume looks good, but this windshiled washer squirter through the fender thing we just can't over look.....may we suggest Waffle house? They are hiring dishwashers!"

no way, that sounds like something that happened at my highschool. what little town would that be if you want to share? cause my "main street" in this town is old, but now the road going next to the highschool is called "school street"
