Please everyone read this!

Hey guys, I probably did the dumbest thing any dsm'er could do. I lost my car keys and I don't have a spare. I don't have the key number at all for the car. I called mitsu and two crysler dealers; alas they all said they can't make it for a 91 eagle talon Tsi. They told me to call a locksmith who does automotive stuff. Well, he said you probably do it, but it would cost $200!!!! I don't have that money to burn so is there any ideas to try to get a key? Suggestions would be a huge plus for me. Thanks

Why can't you just give the dealership your vin number and have them get a new key cut for you? Thats what I did when the key broke for my 92 Firebird. They had no problems doing it. Cost me 100 bucks but it had a computer chip in it too.

1. Dont lose your keys
2. Always have atleast two spares
3. I would check everywhere again just to be sure before you have to have the locksmith do it
4. Push button starts are the shit!

hmmm not very helpful.. They asked for the vin number then said we stopped carrying blank keys for that 91 eagle you have. Trust me I have looked everywhere for them.

See the probem is aaron is retarded, so #1 is out of the question, #2 would require planing (not a retards strong point), #3 He's looked everywhere but they're probably stuck somewhere sandy #4 yeah they are.

DSMLink just said my car has 700HP I know it must be way off but it's funny.

Wait wait... They told you they don't make blanks anymore? Dude, I went down to the local hicks'r'us shop and they had a blank and was able to copy my key. I KNOW there are blanks out there.

You could hack the ignition harness, run the constant hot for the ignition through a toggle, and install a pushbutton ignition. chilton manuals should have the wiring diagram, add 2 parts common sense and voila instant ignition.

Re: Please everyone read this!

They also said they don't have the right "gun" for it. I have no idea what that means

instead of a bench grinder style key cutting machine there are also a "gun" looking one. it is shaped like a gun, has a trigger and is adjusted incrementally(i think) to cut a key. I havn't seen one used since I was probably seven, but it would be something very similar to what I described.
