Blank Factory key?

I've been all over my city looking for a replacement key for my 88 FC. I can't find one anywhere except walmart and the one they have is to big for my taste. I even went to the mazda dealer and the one they had was a lot longer than the original, it wasn't even factory.

I've looked on google and found the rotary key blank that I may get. I was just wondering, is there a place to buy an actual factory RX7 blank?

Sorry for the n00B questions today.

I actually went up to my local Mazda dealer a few weeks back and they said that the Original "Mazda" key is no longer available.

Mazdatrix sells "RX-7" keys with some modern badging on it. I think they're more awesome than the stock "Mazda" one...

I think he meant the stock black head with mazda embedded in it.

Yes. The Curtis black key is cool too. But idk where to get those at either. I have a stock key that's very fragile and a Curtis. I wanted one more strong key though.

I've heard of some people that got it from their Mazda dealer.

Actually, the dealer will probably have to special order it. Tell them your VIN or 4-digit key code.

the stock Mazda key is effing hideous. Get one of the rotor or Spirit R keys.

From the looks of it, the two keys are called "Primary" and "Secondary" in the parts catalogue; I can only assume the "primary' one is plastic coated.

Anyways, pricing for those are:

Primary = $12 CAD
Secondary = $9 CAD

When mine arrives I'll throw a picture up.

Secondly, if you give them your VIN, they should be able to look up the key code, as well as tell you some nifty stuff like manufacture/purchase date and sale location.

Found out my car was built on January 1st, 1989
