Flying wing key for FD....sorry to see JT go!
 

I got a final order into JT-imports before he closed his doors.

My stock key was getting some metal fatigue and I was worried that it would break. With the upgrades to 99spec look on my car I thought this would be a nice addtion.....BUT I SHOULD HAVE ORDER TWO DAMMIT! :doh:

Thanks JT for the parts!

yeah i got the red/pink one and just like yours im worried about them cutting it wrong because as you can see its a tad bit shorter

I wanted one of those. I wonder if an RX8 blank would work? I got an Efini one and it worked well. I didn't want the red one.

I bought one like that from JT a while back.
Home Depot cut it for free. It worked perfectly.
I too wish I would have bought 2 when I placed my original order...

I wasn't aware he was closing his doors. That sucks.

nope...I orginally wanted the rotor shaped RX-8 special key. JT said that its too long or something....regardless he said it was a no go...

Give it a try and tell me how it goes, I like the looks of the RX-8 key better:D

You know you can take it to the mazda dealership and by just using your VIN number they can cut the new key from memory. Thats how they did my Efini one.

My FD key =]

Heh, part of my last order http://members.cox.net/tomthebomb65/CIMG0990.JPG

I'm still waiting on my door handle plates, I heard he received a lot of orders for them before the cutoff date. Appreciate JT doing this for us though, and it'll be worth the wait.;)

Where else can you get them?

Why is JT closing?

In case anyone wants to know, I've had the Spirit R key blank cut by a Mazda Dealer, there's no problem. Works just like the factory key.

where did you get that?

Yep, I would be interested in Spirit R keyblanks for my FD. Are there any other sources we can order from?

I'm not sure...maybe Jason at the RX-7store has some hook ups.

Hi,
I bought red and black key blanks from Corksport recently. I think the black was $11US and the red $21US.

Hope this helps.

Ebay!

^^ thanks!

Thanks.

FWIW, the legnth of the key has nothing to do with whether it'll work after it's been cut, it's the shape of the key. look at the ends of two keys (your stock key and the RX-8 key if that's what you are looking at getting), and compare their profile. if this is the same, then all the person that has to do is line up the end of your key the same way they line up the end of the key blank (at the hardware store i used to work at, we used a Hillman H50 or H60 key blank, early '90's ford, as the alignment key, put that in the slot the farthest to the right, slid in the key/blank, tightened it down, and cut), and it should work fine. there are some instances where the machine is slightly out of alignment, or the person cutting the key is an idiot, and the key may not work, but that's a rarity. for special jobs, like someone bringing in their own key or one of the keys that has a chip in it, we'd call down a manager so they could take care of it, just so the person knows that they have the most expierenced person doing it, and that'd probably be what you guys would want to do (and so the manager gets to deal with an irate customer should their key happen to not work). just make sure that they do a really good job brushing off all of the burrs on the edges of the new key that they cut for you, and it should be fine.

I got the same key. I think it looks great.

does anyone know where this key blank can be purchased now that JT-imports is out of business (the flying 'M' one that is)

Anyone got an extra Spirit R (red) key for sale?

I'll pay you BIG BUCKS for it. PM me.

Thanks,

He had originally (I believe) started business since there was no real direct hookup for FD/other car OEM parts from japan to international buyers like us. It was more like helping all of us out. He had ran the business at home and hardly any profit was made (he shipped my spoiler for free and I live in USA..must've been alot!). Things came up so he's closing shop.

Thanks JT for hooking me up with stuff. :) and :sadwavey:

Ramy (a.k.a. FDNewbie) can get stuff from Japan. He can probably get these keys also. As for the black Flying M key, it may be the same key as the protege and other Mazda cars.

It was a pleasure guys.....

The Spirit R key was discontinued so if you find them and want them, better buy them all up.

I still sell some parts to wholesalers since I have a little time, just no time for the general public.

You can get these at E-bay~~~~

Well, there you have it. The value of my uncut Spirit R key just went up.

:)

$20 shipped bid!!

$25 ;)

I got the one from ebay, the guy ships it from taiwan.

Home Depot cut it for me. It opens the doors, but will not turn the ignition. Perhaps he did not cut it right, or did not put the key in far enough. Just FYI. At least I have a spare key to open the door if my g. friend locks my keys in the car!

On the lock of the passenger door you can get a key code for your car, give it to a lock smith and he'll cut you a perfect 100% new key with it. Instead of the warn out pattern on your old key.

Force, I tried to do that. Got the code from Mazda...went to the locksmith, and he totally messed up the key!

If you do it that way, have him take a blank key as a test first.

Haha..that's funny. Test key. :) yah, sadly, we have doubts in locksmith. i still have an eFini key yet to be cut...I'll let him cut a practice key first.

Yeah i took the whole lock in with me and he tryed it on the 3$ blank first then cut my key for me. My old key wouldn't unlock my passenger door it was so worn down.

that's what i did

damn thats a nice lookin key
is ebay the only place to get em now?

I bet Ramy could get one for you.

Yeah I want that Flying M key hah.

How about $125 plus shipping.

Bunch of lowballers

Wow...my name's all over this thread, and I just saw it now haha.

Anyway, thought I'd give you guys a head's up at the "Flying M" keys are still available (for the time being, given that Mazda Japan's discontinuing FD parts right and left at an alarming rate), so I'm running a GB on 'em here: https://www.rx7club.com/fdnewbie-imports-172/gb-closed-fd3s-oem-flying-m-key-efini-key-725175/

Sorry, Spirit-R keys have LONG since been discontinued (although I can prob make a few if someone would be kind enough to donate/let me borrow one) ;)

Thanks!

hmm so if i give quicksilver rx7 $125 then i get the key, then send it to Ramy we could have spirit r keys...

im game?

i'd like to see what these spirit r keys look like

i'm sorry, but who cares...? its just a key

everybody on this thread cares. go take a nap

i just dont understand the significance of a specially designed or "limited edition" key?? it does not serve any special purpose. are you goona go up to one of your racer friends and say "o, you have 400whp...well i have this special key. eat it!" it may be something special to you, but it just doesnt work for me

:rlaugh::rlaugh::rlaugh:

Collectible bits like this have NOTHING to do w/ bragging rights. But seriously 4CN A1R, if you ain't feelin it, that's cool...just no need to dog other ppl for wantin it though.

hey, if you cant afford performance parts for your fd, and a special designed key is the best you can do...then hell, good for you
