happend at work this morining. they ddn't take a thing... not cds or tools. but they left the car in a near undrivable state.

luckily I work at an auto/hardware store, so i was able to get it driveable.

but now i Ihave to replace the locks... I cant afford new ones, so ill have to go junkyard style. this is a huge hassle. and no, my insurance does not cover vandalism.

looks like they failed miserably trying to start your car...

car vandals = not smart

I dont have an alarm. im trying to sell the car. i need the money for school.

i wish they had stolen the car... thats covered under my insurance. vandalism isnt.

does anyone know if i can use any locks from any fb?

Wouldn't you just love to catch idiots like this in the act.... . . . . no wait- then YOU would probably be in jail.

Lookieme

I'm waiting for someone to steal my truck. They'd pay me more than it's worth.

Sorry about your loss.

The door locks for all FB's are interchangable, but you'll have to get a locksmith to re-do the tumblers so that one key works for all of the car's locks.
The ignition lock is also interchangable, but the ignition SWITCH behind the lock must be from a similarly-equiped '84 or '85 RX7 (ie: if yours is a GSL, the switch from a GS won't work because there's no lead for your power options. I found this out years ago the hard way).
But most likely all the ****** damaged was the lock. The ignition switch itself is probably fine.
If you're looking for used parts, try Chris in North Vancouver. You can pm him on the BC rx7 forum. He goes by the forum name "myse". If he doesn't have the locks you need, he more than likely knows somebody who does.

Oh **** dude... too bad you can't catch em....or maybe that's a good thing....

Either way, if I ever catch anyone tryin to break into my car I'll rip their arms off.

Good luck on the repairs, I TOTALLy wish I would have bought that already, but alas, as you mentioned yourself...$$$$$

just grab a lil red LED light thingy stick it sumwhere obvious so it looks like a lil alarm light. it will at least deture the majority of stupid punks lookin fo ran easy ride to jack. or, each time you walk away or get to your car clang your keys a bit towards your car and chirp loudy to yourself

thorin

thanks for the info aviator.. I you've answered all the questions i was going to ask.

Pedestrian X, I even own a little red led and built a cicuit just like that for my friends volvo a few years ago. I just never got around to it.

was it parked on your property? If so, your homeowners insurance will cover it under general property damage.

Pedestrian X
