Thanks, Jason Mcclure

I just bought a 1994 non-turbo talon. I need to pick up a few things for it. I need a new set of keys, the one I have almost bends in half, and a power steering belt. Where is the best place to get them?

Your local Mitsu dealer will be able to help you out, you might have to go to a chrysler dealer for the keys. not sure

 

[Gooberlog]

Just tell the parts guy its a Eclipse GS or non turbo

Dealer or NAPA for the belt, but I'd go to a real locksmith for keys. They, unlike the dealer, understand about how locks wear, and know to compensate for it in the cutting. And, he will probably have the Ilco MIT4-P blank with the nice plastic head instead of the crappy Curtis with no trim.

I've been looking to replace my pick *ahem* ilco key, but the local locksmith only carries all metal blanks. Anyone know where to find mitsu blanks w/ plastic heads?

Hey guys,
I lost the only key I had to my car, I just bought it a couple weeks ago so I hadn't been able to make a copy of it. Anyways, I order the correct key for my car from the factory? How do I need to go about getting a key for it, and how much is it gonna cost? Thanks, Michael

 

[xcelr8n]

dealership, with your VIN number, i dont know about price, could be a little pricey, but since youre a 1995 they should be able to help you.

 

[sweetjumper32]

Great. That's what I was hoping for. Anybody dealt with this and know how much it costs? Dang, if someone in town would have just been able to make a copy of this freaking key for me when I tried! Thanks for the help.

 

[sweetjumper32]

Anybody have a price estimate? Figures, I'm supposed to take my car in tomorrow to finally have it fixed

 

[blcknspo0ln]

dont even bother finding out how much it is .. it'll only make you cry kinda sucks because you HAVE to pay the dealer the price it wants because there's nowhere else to get it

 

[Defiant]

You might check with a locksmith.

Hey everyone, thanks for your quick help, got two new keys made up today, $7 each. Not bad. In case this question comes up again. Here's what you do. Take in documentation with your vehicles VIN#, proof of ownership, and photo ID and they'll make you a new key. Thanks again everyone.

 

[Defiant]

Good deal, thanks for the feedback. FIRST confirmation I've ever seen that they can cut a key from the VIN information, although we've been talking about it for years.

Now, make a habit of carrying two keys, in separate pockets.

And, carry them naked. No boat-anchors hanging off them.

Go to a locksmith for an Ilco MIT4-P blank, with nice rubber head.

I've been looking for an OEM key blank for my Talon for a while.

Does anyone have a picture of their original key? Does it have the Eagle logo or the Chrylsler pentagram?

 

[HokieDSM]

THey don't have any emblems on it, just black plastic. Key Blanks for Eclipses & Talons pop up on ebay all the time - the Mitsu & Eagle ones are identical.

 

[Denji]

my key says Curtis on it... i dont think thats the original key.. It looks just like my friends eclipse key though..

 

[yankees1919]

Yea I have the original...It's just plain black...no emblem

 

[Defiant]

The Ilco blank is MIT4-P, and most full-service locksmiths will carry it, maybe $5 if they gouge you. Much nicer than the cheezy Curtis.

That's definitely interesting. My wife has a 93 Laser and her key is plain with a plastic textured surface at the top. I thought hers was a copy but I guess it's the original. Do the original keys have the key code on them?

The key I have is an Ilco but it's twisted and seemed pretty poor quality, the code on it is MIT1-P

The one that I have looks like this:

They're probably the same, just given different part numbers for the different manufacturers.

Mine says "MIT8AP-ITALY" on the top and looks like the one defiant posted.

I just did a Google search. It looks like MIT8 is the same as the others except it's the Silca part number instead of Ilco.

And for those reading this thread you now know more than you would ever want to about key blanks for these cars

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Cool, ya know now that I look again on the other side of the key it's barely readable but it does say Silca.

I have the origanel key. It's black with nothing on it.

Do any of you guys have the blank that comes with the owners manual to keep in your wallet? It's molded in a burgandy color, mine was never cut.
