i know they didnt, but the key looks badass and its rx7 related.

If, they made some sort of Infini key, i would rock that. I just love all the little trinkets you can get for the rx7s.

I'm a hard core ricer!

Man... I thought you weren't a newbie... 1400+ posts and still clueless...

Cut off the first 1/4 inch of the FD key and presto... you have a FC key.



I use to use a jspec Efini key in my old 88 vert by that method... in fact I think I even posted up a thread in the 2nd gen section on how to back in early 2002.

Just FYI, ILCO MZ16 vs MZ27.

Thickness
FC Keys-MZ16: 2.1mm
FD Keys-MZ27: 2.6mm

If Mark was able to cut a J-Spec key and use it on his FC, kudos. But YMMV on the ILCO branded blanks I use.

Steve, I just don't enough people wanting that logo for the FC, so it's probably not going to happen. Economies of scale. But if it was the 10th Anniversary Logo..

I have done it a couple of times now. The FD blank is tight, but on on a 20 year old lock the tightness makes it feel like new.

See the FC lock cyls are really 2.5mm anyway... just they use a slightly thinner key. But maybe the ilcos are too big???

I'd do it again on my 10th AE if I didn't have a perfect set of OEM keys.
