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...

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.

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

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
