Hi
Firstly, on http://www.torquesteer.co.uk/, there is a starter button (/Engine start button) taken from the Honda 2000 that you can use with the . Has anyone done this? Is it difficult or anyone got any advice?

Secondly, bad news, the wife scratched an alloy wheel yesterday! . Might get a new one ....... wife that is!

Just had a quick look at that, and it does look good - reminiscent of the Focus of course. Obviously its fitted where the cigarette lighter socket is so you'd loose that; like you I'd be interested if anyones got one and what its like.

Torquesteer have fitted it to their car and say its suprisingly easy to do. The only bizarre thing is they relocated the power thing to the cup holder so you lose that. Odd.

You sure about that? It isn't that they've just put the cover in the cupholder when they put the button in the socket is it? (Then again I'm maybe just thinking that because that's where I always put it so I don't lose it!)

No the power outlet is in the cup holder. I know coz Martin said so.

Take a look in the second picture:

Btw people shouldnt really be using the old Torquesteer site, but instead the new and better stocked www.teamtorquesteer.co.uk. Plus that's where the Start button is

I have to admit mate, but that starter button looks the business. I'm taking delivery to my ST in about a weeks time and after looking at the pics i'm seriously thinking of getting one.

The only thing i'm worried about is if it would invalidate the warranty. Does anyone know if this is the case or not?

Precise link is here:

http://www.teamtorquesteer.co.uk/category-49/175-06.html

Remember its on the new Teamtorquesteer site not the old Torquesteer one, which I don't think is being updated anymore.

That looks well nice really suits the car looks like it came out the factory like it gives the rally feel that the rs had. Just shame it takes warranty off the car have to have a word with a good mate of mine who is an auto electritian to see if i get any probs he can quickly take it off
