I have an RX8 remote/switchblade key for sale. I have put in a new/blank key so it is ready to be cut to your car.

I will try and get pictures of the actual unit/key, but until then here is a picture of the last one I sold.

Asking for $55 shipped.

 

im just gonna say that its expensive, wow

 

Thanks for your reply ...

Sold the last one for $75 shipped in one day.

 

wow, good luck then! bump

 

Do you know it that will work with an 04??

 

It does, I have an 04 and it works fine.

 

Yes, will work with an '04. You program the remote and transponder (in the key) the sam way that you would a normal key and remote. (Directions on here this board.)

 

btw, your buick seems like a damn good sleeper!

 

$80 is a good price for one with an uncut blade. I bought his last uncut one.

 

Thanks, it definitely will be next spring

 

I'll take it can you hold it for me til tuesday?

 

what! i didnt know you could do that to a buick, damn, that will be a force to recon with, are you gonna lighten that bitch up?

 

I will hold it for you if you want it.


Same drivetrain as a Grand Prix GTP (which most people dont know) and the 3.8L Supercharged is actually a Buick motor anyway.

I am not lightening up anything on it really, will retain stereo, full interior, etc. Should be good for a solid 12 sec 1/4 mile with my conservative tune/torque management (I have no more money to fix anything). But with a little more fuel, and a good tire/tranny, it should be able to hit 11's easily.

Just to give you an idea about these motors. There is a twin turbo Grand Prix that runs a STOCK bottom end (yes, stock crank, bearings, rods, pistons) that was running consistent 9's in the 1/4 mile I am not even trying to get anywhere near there, if I even just break into the 12's then I hit my goal. As it sat with the mods in my sig (which is not heavily modded at all) it was good for a 13.9 sec 1/4.

 

Ttt

 

wow, i did not know that, impressive

 

do you still have the key or did you sell it?

 

Yes it is still available... Sorry for the delay in reply, was out of town for the weekend.

 

If this sale doens't go thru, i'll take it off your hands and i'm local. Live real close to ya Ben..... (Montague)

 

Sounds good... It is yours as no one else has followed through (I have about 5 people that say they want it, but no money yet).

 

Question? I am new at this... I have an 'o4 Rx8 and i hate the key and seperate fob.. So I was told by the dealership that I was SOL, But it sounds like they can work as long as you have the blank cut at the dealership so it will actually start the engine. Do I have that right?

cheers

 

Tek...
I have an 04' and it works perfect... The key will start the engine and the buttons will work. You will have to program it, the directions are on this web site (search). BTW dont have mazda cut the key, they will over charge you, go where you would to get anyother key cut, I had a local locksmith cut mine.

 

did the search for ya... https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-code-your-own-key-remote-43873/

 

it seems pretty hard to do it, or else i will take the key cuz i hate the 04 key =[

 

It's actually pretty easy to do yourself. The instructions literally lay out every single thing you need to do. Save yourself the hassle and have the key cut at a hardware store and just program it yourself. The dealership will either tell you it won't work with an '04 or charge you through the nose to do it.

I have three switchblade keys for my '04.

Also, $80 shipped for a blank key and fob is a *great* deal. If I didn't have three already I'd be sending this guy payment now.

 

Its about $60 including shipping on ebay...uncut key and remote with programming
