I lost the only key for my ae86! Help!

[choonga]

Hey all

Was working on my ae86 the other day and put the keys down.. now i can't find them anymore and i only had one key! garghhh

Does anyone know if any of the ignition barrels/locks are swappable from other toyotas/cars?

i have never seen a ae86 at a wreckers.. so i'm wondering if i can take it out of anythign else?!

Thanks!

get a locksmith out to remove it or take the column to a locksmith and get them to remove it and rekey it.
probly cost $50 if you take it to them, while your there ask for a spare.

If you take out the drivers doors' lock barrel you'll find a 6digit or so code on it, just give this, or just give the barrel to the locksmith and they will make up a key for you in about 5-10mins!

and a hell of a lot easier than removing the ignition lock.

Plus, most of them are so worn that any Toyota that uses the same size key will pretty much fit...

that is if the drivers door and ignition barrel use the same key, out of 16 ae86's ive worked on this has only been the case on 2.

Ahh...So true! One set of keys works for both of my corollas (ae82 & ae86), and that has gotten me out of trouble before.

What devils said is the way to go for a new key for your toyota even if you have the original worn key. The locksmith will make one to the new specification and you will not have a copy of a worn key.

try using the dipstick to start the car... works on ea's

Is that oil type dipsticks or just falcon drivers in general?
