Just wondering if anybody knows how to do this?
Remember when old cars didnt' need to have the clutch pressed in to start them?
just would be nice to lean in and start and not have to stab the clutch...

 

Why? If you plan on going anywhere you are going to have to press the clutch anyways.

Hmmm....didn't have them in the old days....have them now...didn't have them in the old days....have them now. Yeah, I can't figure it out either.

Unless maybe someone did something silly like reached into their car and started it and ran over their little sister or something?

 

its a legit question - for what it worth, EDM and UKDM cars dont have to have the clutch depressed to allow them to start.

 

since I leave the top down in the garage most of the time, in the morning it'd be nice to reach in turn the key and hit the button, go back to making breakfast etc....
Subtle thing... but then again there are dozens of people who disable the speed sensor in their convertible top... which is probably an even worse idea...

 

just buy a euro model and youll be all set!!
no seriously...post this in under the hood section my be they know if its got a sensor or something!!
my car starts without the clutch and its pretty cool

 

Why is this a worse idea? You still need to engage the e-brake for the top to operate.

I haven't taken a look, but there is probably a switch connected to the clutch pedal, so depending if its a normal open or close switch, either complete the circuit or open it up. But like I said, I haven't check, just guessing.

 

Hold on a sec. In our cars we can start the S2000 (actually all manual cars) without pushing the clutch! In the USA you must press the clutch to do so? Its sounds like a stupid question but from what I read ^ there is a "safety pushing the clutch to start the car"?

 

why do you push the clutch before starting the car?????

 

if you disable the clutch switch, you will disable your cruise control also (if you care) but I think that's the only downside.
