miata key?

geromichi · 05-16-2006, 03:54 AM

okay i've been looking around for the past year for a decent looking blank key, i'm just wondering why doesn't mazda or anyone else have a decent looking aftermarket key like subaru? i mean the STI key looks AWESOME i would buy that blank key in a heartbeat if it was for a mazda. Anyone know where to buy a DECENT looking key? And i'm not talking about the chromed versions of the key on ebay. lol.

Do you mean something like this?

geromichi · 05-16-2006, 09:04 PM

neat. where do i buy? =D

freedomgli · 05-16-2006, 09:41 PM

Aye. Didn't someone organize a group buy for those things a while back. I recall they were like $30 a piece or something. Definitely cool. Are there any more choices for Mazda?

NSX Monel Nickel Copper Alloy

MV Agusta Titanium

300ZX "Titanium"

Nismo

STi

WRX STi Type C

Toyota Universal

RX-8

Any other cool keys out there?

the blue potato · 05-16-2006, 10:28 PM

ummm....it is just a key....used to apply 12v into the ignition circuit and thusly, start your motor.

Ok, then again maybe it is just me. =D>

geromichi · 05-16-2006, 10:30 PM

well a rim is just a rim when it weighs the same and does it's job... doesn't it? no offence just making a comparision =p

brian · 05-16-2006, 10:36 PM

geromichi · 05-16-2006, 11:19 PM

geromichi · 05-16-2006, 11:27 PM

nice key, but i imagine that would hurt in my pocket of my jeans =( i like the first one because it's small and it's... different.

geromichi · 05-16-2006, 11:28 PM

aren't keys vehicle specific? i mean not ALL those keys listed work in a miata... do they?

It's a key fob not a key blank.

freedomgli · 05-16-2006, 11:36 PM

I listed those keys just to show a sample of what's out there, not necessarily what will work in a Miata.

geromichi · 05-16-2006, 11:36 PM

oh my, that would certainly hurt me if i put that in my pocket, but pretty cool!

freedomgli · 05-16-2006, 11:54 PM

Yes, the Royal Clover Pole Position key is for Miata application.

freedomgli · 05-16-2006, 11:54 PM

You can buy it on YJ.

geromichi · 05-17-2006, 12:04 AM

JDMAflac · 05-17-2006, 12:49 AM

bump for a replacement mazda key.

speedworks · 05-17-2006, 03:40 AM

how about this from ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAZDA...88837001QQrdZ1

i have one for my car, just haven't gotten it cut yet, so i don't know how well it works. once i get an alarm for my car, i want to see if my friend can try to fit the alarm bits into the key box

roadsternut · 05-17-2006, 06:23 AM

My first Roadster came with a key from Takeo Kikuchi (or at least branded by them); very nice. I once looked up how much there were.....£60 fora blank, or more than $100 in your money :shock: Unfortunately, insurance company took the key off me when that car was totalled by thieves.

freedomgli · 05-17-2006, 08:34 AM

That NSX key blank was $100 but now I think they're no longer in stock at most Acura dealers. There were numerous threads on the NSX forums about people having a hard time finding anyone other than a dealer that was even willing to cut the key in case of a mistake since it was so expensive to replace.

superboosted · 05-17-2006, 03:33 PM

my snap-on key is pure JDM madness!

freedomgli · 05-17-2006, 03:36 PM

Sweet. Is the snap-on really a key ring that was custom modified to be turned into a key or was it designed to be used that way?

superboosted · 05-17-2006, 04:00 PM

I made it,but it turned out perfect!..you would'nt know the difference...Now I just saw somone asking about these in the latest modified mag,and one in use in a corolla in the same mag..

...It is already old news now!...still super-pimpin' JDM.

brian · 05-17-2006, 04:36 PM

superboosted, that is an eerie picture man, nice key though!!

superboosted · 05-17-2006, 04:40 PM

That is our employee of the month!....and no it is not me..

Sirnixalot · 05-24-2006, 08:56 AM
