Is there any way to have locks made to fit your keys? I gotta get a new lock for my drivers door (and eventually the passenger door) but I don't want all these different keys for one car. Thanks.

 

...and your meds...serenity now...lol

 

There are kits for AE86 that use round key locks. The might work in FCs. Also like someone commented weld a piece of metal in the door so that a slim jim wont be able to work.


Power door looks with out he key hole.

some ideas

doesn't FC's have factory anti-theft device called "super flooding??????"

 

man, some people were very surprised by this whole 'easy to steal situation.' luckily i knew how easy it was when i locked my keys in my car. tried a plastic for sale sign, but it was too flimsy (and old). so i got a big typical saw, shoved it down in there and unlocked the door on my first try. luckily, your alarm system also thinks the key unlocked the door, so the problem is solved.
if you wanna keep people from doing that, weld or ghetto-rig a piece of metal that blocks doing this. i'm told its that easy. i've never looked at the inside of an RX7 door with no panel, so i cant say, but a good source told me.
me? i like knowing i can get into my car in seconds with something flat and firm. hell, i keep an extra key in my car just in case i lose mine and need to get in. who the hell else wants my car? it barely fits in the category "grand theft auto."

 

i have noticed that many times, only the driver's side lock is usually worn, because people generally don't open their doors from the passenger side. so, you can switch the locks and then put bondo on the passenger side door. that way the driver's side lock will work, and the passenger side door would be bondo'd off. or simply bonda both locks, and get keyless entry.

 

Heh, my car is the opposite. Original key snapped one evening, so I took the pieces down to a hardware store and they attempted to make a copy. It works, but only when put in the right side up, and then it's still sometimes a pain. Ignition is a bit easier, tho.

So same question here... anyone recommend a place selling new door/ignition lock assemblies?

It'll be ~160USD for both doors and the hatch.

Then 100-120 for the ignition.

 

just had a little **** thief pop the hatch lock and stole the subs out of the 87. Damn woman didn't arm the alarm, now she has no subs fo rthe second time in 6 months. Time to move to a better neighborhood!!!

 

Haha ya there very easy to break into ive locked my keys in both my rx7's and it takes less than 5 seconds to open the door with a coat hanger.

 

Thanks for the link, Josepi.

Has anyone actually replaced their locks? I have yet to dig into the doors on my 90...Is the job a pain, or fairly easy?

 

how bout getting a bmw or benz lock assembly and putting it in a fc?....

 

That's random...and not likely to fit/work.

 

Shave the locks and install popper locks.

Sucks if you lose your key and remote but there's no handle or lock to pick.

 

LOL known this for too long...
fixed the problem good...

nothing in my car to steel other then guages and a shift ****.

no deck no woofers

no door handles.. need a remote to open the doors

only way to get into my car is to brake the windows and even after that unless you disarm the alarm with the remote you still can't open the doors from the inside

Hey, you live in Jacksonville, I'll come take your car with my key

 

I have 5 FCs. None of the keys will open any more than one car. It really pisses me off. When I raced Celicas my key waould open just about any toyota or honda made at the time. I'm bad about keeping up with all the spares.
If I loose the key to my car, will one of you guys let me use your key?

 

how much do poppers weight?

 

anyone can get my car started, but they can't keep it running :p

 

2 door poppers and the selenoids weight less then 5lbs.. at least the ones i'm using..
