please help theives raped my car!
alright so the headline states it. last night two ******** tried to steal my car. in their stupidity they destroyed my interior, stole my shifter **** and emergency manual sunroof wrench. last and most importantly they broke the key switch. they didnt get the car though, losers! u
so i was wondering
1. how to get the key switch out, looks permanent.
2. if anyone has an interior cheap (broke)
and 3. if anyone has a good shifter.
I hope whoever did it has to watch their families burn to death.
sorry about that but theives should all be killed, especially rx7 thieves.
any help would be appreciated
thanks

instead of buying just a switch from madzatrix,my suggestion is to search out a complete Steering column.they are easy to Switch out and Guys usually sell it with a key..the wiring is all there and therefore you don't have to worry about spicing,ETC..sorry about your car..Dave/STYX.

switch
ok i checked the fsm you can replace the switch . if it's like the last 1 i did they look like rivits but actually they are not i had to cut a slot in them to get them out try vice grips if you can but the whole switch with the band comes out .and u just unplug the harness .
check carquest if you have one close by maybe worldpac has it it not it's off to a buddys wrecked one or to MAZDA ouch

To the OP:
That's damn lame. I've been there before. Just replace the assembly. I have some burgundy interior if that's what you have.
As far as the shift **** is concerned, just grab a cheapie from any auto parts shop until you can replace it with the proper threaded one. If you have an S4 shift assembly, I'd look into replacing it with the S5 unit. Far easier to get threaded aftermarket ***** for the S5 shifter.

sounds easier to switch the column over, damn. I was hoping for something a little easier but its ok. all the fc's at the local junkyards are basiclly stripped clean.
now what goes into switching the s4 shifter with the s5. cause that should also take care of the shifter gasket problem right? I thought the shiters required different transmissions?
also by the way my interior is blue, but all the broken pieces are black anyways.

So what do you still need? I have a full burgundy interior in my '86 that is going to be replaced with the black from my 90. The shifter boot is a little worn (199,xxx miles)
