my integra didnt have an immobiliser to take out.. i guess the earlier model hondas didnt have much in the way of security, no factory immobiliser or remote entry. so my car as is is much much more secure than it was out of factory, and in addition to that i have several immobilisers at various different points and security devices, and an alarm.
when you say you're putting a key on the starter ground, do you mean the starter positive or engine ground? cutting the positive would be effective, but the engine has multiple ground straps so you would have to isolate each one of then, but i would be wary of doing that as potentially you could damage something. is there is some small piece of metal going between the engine and body, or maybe a engine sensor that is grounded by both the engine ground and a wire ground going back to the ecu, you will cause big damage. for example the second one i mentioned, if you disconnect the engine ground, and there is a sensor which is grounded both by engine ground and a ground wire running to the ecu, when you crank the engine over, instead of pulling 300 amps from the engine ground strap, it will attempt to pull those 300 amps through that sensor, its wiring and the ecu.. very quickly melting or smoking something. so i would be very cautious about doing that, placing the key breaker on either battery ground or starter positive would be fine.
ill go take a quick photo of that keypad now
