These JDM cars do not have a locking trunk mechanism by the fuel/trunk lever, nor one to unlatch the rear seats.

Getting a fresh key cut for it at a NZ Honda dealer was not a financially viable option (>NZD$70, for whatever reason), and still left me with the ignition problem, and I then would have a driver's door issue instead of a passenger's door + trunk issue. Instead, I resolved to use this DIY to replace ALL the lock tabs on the doors + ignition to match the key on my 93 Civic Si that I had back in Canada. At the junkyard I actually found a Honda that my key worked on. I pulled that and noted the lock tabs order. I then pulled a few more lock tabs from other vehicles and eventually I had enough to replicate the lock tab order of my 93 Si on all the locks of the 94 RTSi. I swapped these all in and all was once again right in the world, with the added convenience of only requiring one key for both vehicles.

I suspect it will not work, b/c why would they create 2 p/n's if one would fit both sides...

Question: did the same key work on hatch lock & doors on this Si, even though different code?
