Hello,



I have a 1976 Rx4 and I am trying to find the ignition switch with key lock. I purchased the car recently and the previous owner had told me they had attempted to steal the car and is missing. I was told a a Rx7 one would do but not sure if any Rx7 model or specific model. I have checked my local Car Junkyards and have not been able to find any Rx7's. I have also checked online and no luck. Can you someone point me in the right direction here?

Hello Flojo101



Check ebay, there was one last week, sorry not sure what was the final price. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif



How about some pictures of the car!





Andres

I actually checked ebay and was able to find the ignition switch with keys so I ordered that....thanks for suggestion.



I will get some pictures of it soon.



trying to set this thing up for Atco raceway next year.



I was just there not too long ago for the PanAmerican Nationals.

Good,



If I knew I was going to own a RX-4 a few weeks ago I would bought it!



I just got my, am having some electrical issues but it should be on the road soon! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.gif



Andres

yeah, I have electrical problems too on my Rx4. the guy who had before me installed a electronic fuel pump and also started to play around with the ignition coils and I hear the engine when I try to start the car but it seems like the fuel pump is not turning on. Because the key switch was ripped of the steering column, thats the reason why I was looking for a key switch which I have found. I need to install this and actually turn the key to see if I can hear the fuel pump turn on and then see if the actual engine turns on.



I knew this was going to be headache getting into this car with the electrical problem but I sleep like a baby at night knowing I got a 76 Rx4 and a 81 Corolla parked in my garage.



I'm selling the 1.8 to dedicate myself to the Mazda, I'm no mechanic but I figure I can experiment on my car rather than anyone else.

Here are some pictures of my baby girl.

Below is my ignition coil quagmire

I am in Danbury 45 mins from bridegport. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

Whats going on man, long time no hear?



I finally traded my 8 rotor rims to this local mazda mechanic who will in turn do mechanical work on the car. I should have the thing started and registerd in the next 2 weeks.



Necesito uno aros Weld y La Mickey Thompson and good paint job. I hope to have this car nice and mint by the summer. Doesn't need much work done to the exterior. Just a nice solid paint job which I'm saving for right now.



The girfriend is trying to make me decide between her and the car and I'm real close to saying Nice Knowing You https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif



I'll give you a update as soon as the thing is running and registered. Maybe we can meet up someday. I work at Boehringer-Ingelheim which is in your hometown.

whoever tried to steal the car must've been retarded. cause its not that hard. i could steal my '72 rx2 in about a minute. probably less

Don't think they ever tried to steal. The guy who originally owned was f-ing around with the key switch and the harness that comes with the switch and screwed it all up.



I have bought 2 key switches for the damn car but still missing what I need. I need the harnesss for key switch. Let me know if anyone has one or knows where I can find this. I have even tried Australia Phil's Rotary.



Been working on this thing with a budget and when I have time to work on but so far I have replaced the intake with Race beat one. I also have also bought some MSD blaster ignition coils. I just bought a Holley 600 carb. The car has headers already. I'll throw some pics online soon.

Yah I don't think Tido knew what he was doing.He bought the car without a key some years back.The family he bought it from had no keys or paper work for it.I know I asked them a few times before he even seen the car and they didn't want to sell for that reason. never thought he would sell it,but it's being well taking cared of. Hope Misael is having better luck with the wireing than Tido did.
