Find a junkyard and get the lock set off a scrap FC. Take them to a lock smith and have them re-keyed. Most parts can be had from JY's!

FC's are tough to find in junkyards in NJ but there is one at Blacys in Wrightstown right now that looked to have all lock cylinders. Too bad it's a base model.

Nice. Ditch the wheels and start replacing the monumental mess of 20 y/o bushings, hoses, lines, wiring, senders, sensors, mounts, fluids, etc... Get the car in good repair before you spend any money on anything useless.

Locksmiths can often get you the locks that you need. Someone screw drivered one of mine and the locksmith found a replacement no problem. Save yo some time and I think he charged 15 for the lock only. mazdatrix sells them but their pricey over there.

actually i got a whole lock set from a member on here. it's s4 locks but there shouldn't be any problems. i got the key and they're all power locks or whatever they are. yea i'm in the process of replacing the flywheel right now. everything seems to be in good working order. the engine looks like it had a rebuilt on it. There's new belts and hoses and wires so everything should be ok. bushings will be done eventually. looks pretty solid right now. took me like 7 tries to get the tranny out today. what a day.

Congrats on the new 7!! I remember when I bought my first 7 10 years ago, it was the best day ever because I had been wanting one forever. It's seen many women come and go lol but she's still top bitch around here. I have a vert also that is cleaner and all but nothing is as cool as your first 7.

Nice 7 dude but whom ever you heard that the 2 gen is a chick magnet was probably referring to the 3rd gen lol.
