Kill switch - √ CHECK
I followed California98Civic's thread here:
http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...vic-18242.html

However, once I got to the injector relay I found that someone had already hacked in for an immobilizer in the past and had chopped the green/yellow wire instead of the black ground wire, so I used that [already spliced] wire instead. I found a small momentary normally closed switch that came out of a hair dryer or something, rated for a high amperage, so it should be durable. I also spliced into the wiring using a male and female spade connector, so if my switch fails I can simply unplug the kill switch wiring and connect the two spade connectors together to bypass it.

This car is unreal. I went for a 10 minute ride with the kids with an already warmed up engine and got 4.2L/100km (56 US MPG). LOTS of EOC, pulsing and gliding and almost no braking. The ScanGauge is not calibrated yet, so these values will change….BUT STILL.
