I don't know about changing the ECU to disable the immobilizer. On my 99 Accord when i wanted remote start they installer said that I need to place the spare key in the car near the ECU or the transmitter that receives the signal from the key. So i didn't go with remote start. This is the only way for me to remotely start my accord with the immobilizer.
The bad thing about doing this is that the car can be stolen now. If someone breaks the steering column they can somehoe break the pin to unlock the steering wheel and get off with our car.
Personally I like the added saftey of the immobilizer.

Blau-Blau : The key is still idea for operative purposes, for example you can have the engine running and use your JDM S2K key to lock the doors up. This way, you have access to the car whilst the engine is still running as well. Looks to others you have a turbo timer application running or something, definitely good to cool off the engine of the F20C high rev/temperature output whether or not you trash the car.
Kwando : That could be possible if the Accord has enough space in the steering column to permit the key to be placed near the ignition hole. However, there is a certain angle and distance to be adapted and cannot be altered. Installation of back-up key inside the steering column might move whilst fast or winding driving. This method is not practical and also unsafe as mentioned in my above post to theft.

If you already have the key, I think I would get it cut to the right pattern, and then take your current chipped key and cut off the non plastic encased part. Then you would have a relatively unobtrusive fob with the chip, and a very cool key for the main event.

I really like both Takashi n Skarv's ideas. I think it's possible to change the end part of the key like what Skarv said. However, I have to look for some experts too look it up first, have to be very careful in cutting the edges of the std s2000 key.
I will also consider having 2 keys with the JDM one locking doors since I dont really want to damage the key.....
Ahhhhhh
