I have a wierd VIN number.. its says it s 91, (which was the year it was made) but its a 92 Civic.. i need a key, but when i went to honda.. they couldnt make me a key.

so is ther a way to rig up like a switch to start the car? i really dont need a key, considering its a drag only car. and theres nothign to steal out of it.. thanks

 

Yes their is but you still need the key to unlock the wheel...

 

i know.. how the hell would i get around that ****

 

take the ignition out and there's a 4 digit # on it take the # to a local locksmith they will make the key for u around 20 bucks. done it 2 times already

the VIN says 91 b/c there are production date cut offs... for xample.. like a november of 91 model would already be considered a 92.. i wouldn't know why they can't cut you the key... some counter guys are really stupid.. but I know that if you go to acura.. they have the same key codes as honda... if you find out what your key code is *xplained in the post above* they can cut u a key..

 

just use a screwdriver I do this on my 83 toyota 4x4.

 

ok, my friend works at honda and he is trying to cut me a key today.. if that doesnt work.. i will take the ignition number. where on the ingition can i find that number? do i have to take it out?

 

dont have to take it out just look at the bottom. or you can take your driver or passager door handle out the lock cylinder on the door handle also have the same 4 digit # good luck

 

cool thanks man..

its its just a drag/race car the honda steering wheel locks can be broken by turning the wheel with all ur muscle powar. i havent dont this before, but heard that honda has the easiest steering wheel locks to break

 

so you have a M in your VIN not a N for the year?

for a drag only car, you can completely remove the ignition key all together.

if you don't care about Accessory it's even easier.
A switch, a push button, a couple 30amp relays and some soldering skills is all you would need. Let me know if you want to go this way, I can track down all the wire colors and make a quick write up on how to do this for you.

 

nope, its actually an N.. pretty cool link.. my EH2 was made in Canada

 

thanks, I threw that together using the info in the Helm manuals. I think I've used it more than anyone else.

 

If all else fails, go to a junk yard and get a new steering column. They are $35 here in MD with the key.
