Remote Starter / Isolator for Testing

Im at the stage where im stopping and starting the engine, during testing and tuning. Because of the confined space in the garage, i have to squeeze down the side of the car to the switch which is not just awkward, but if i need to turn it off in a hurry, i cant.

So, to make things a bit safer for me and the car, ive rigged up a remote starter and isolator;



It works really well, and improves control of the car from standing still or even from outside the garage. All i need now is a 5m VGA lead so that i can stand outside the garage whilst tuning to stop poisoning / deafening myself!!

Of course, its removeable and will be removed when testing is complete. Additional security during this testing period is by the CAT1 alarm / immobiliser anyway.





Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Got to be better than clambering over the rear tyre. I assume flipping the toggle switch cover down kills the engine.
