I have already been phoning the city to fix that bump at Dundas. It is awful. I tend to go up Runnymede and through the neighbourhood to avoid the Keele/Dundas intersection.

haha, same. i got a flip key off ebay with the 3 buttons because i couldnt sand the mess of fob/key in my packet. however the panic button isnt actually a button anymore..but a mazda emblem....but if i push hard enough it activates the panic.Quote:

kinda like the first time you drive. when you brake you feel like your getting thrown onto the brakes lolQuote:

i could be wrong here but im pretty sure the actual key has to be programmed as there is a chip in the key. so if you go get a blank key cut it would only be able to unlock and lock the doors and turn your car to acc but it would not actually start.Quote:

This is my understanding as well. The one reason I never acted on these cheap eBay flip keys or anything. I've always wanted a flip key but from what I understood, the only way to have a full functioning flip key is doing it the proper way through the dealership where the chip in the key will be programmed and what not.Quote:

thats how it works, when you get a new key with a new chip. but this is used to make your existing key/fob into a flip key.Quote:

the immobilizer chip has to be within an inch in the ignition for the car to start.
heres my old key:

Cool, thanks for the info. I'm definitely gonna look into this; would be sick if I could turn my spare key into a flipkey.Quote:

lol same, the kay itself is sealed pretty tight because it was pressed and rubber welded together. it will take some time to cut into the edges. theres also a frame like plastic piece thats inside the hold the chip to the metal. it forms whatevers missing on the metal itself. the black rubber/plastic is then wrapped around it.Quote:

Removed rally armor for sale purposes. Looked great but I need cash for the house....
Ordered a rear lip spoiler.....picking it up tomorrow! woot!
I'm interested in the rallys if you don't have a buyer yet
Oops wrong section and just realized its for a 2nd gen, anyways, I plastidipped my door handles today to see how it would look two toned (black & orange) and I like it.
Debating if I should keep it plastidipped or actually paint it to keep it through the winter. All thats left in terms of exterior is fixing the rust (after winter) and painted the stock rims black.
Currently sitting at fxauto awaiting tints, rust proof and clear bra
i was gonna finish rust proofing today untill it started raining.....Quote:

Plus I was given a life time warranty through them so if it goes bad after this winter they'll take care of it
