Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

I'm pretty sure they'd just be wasting blanks if they tried that. It's not like it's the key to a 1978 Dodge Ram where you can just file it as best you can and still expect it to work. That shit's fucking complicated in a Jag. Then, it still needs to be programmed with special equipment.

You might (as it's slightly older) actually be able to bypass the ignition entirely. It may be self-contained and not actually also encoded in the ECU. If it's self-contained, you're in luck. You can more or less rip it out and replace it without needing to flash it to match the ECU. That's a new key and a new ignition switch that already match, maybe even from a junk yard.

And, if you can bypass it like that, you can also just rip all of it out, break the wheel lock, and effectively hot-wire it.

I don't know, it doesn't look that complicated. Just have to file away the parts that are gone. It would be the matching the resistor that would be difficult

I really, really think it's more complex than that - but maybe not. The shaping of the key is about the least expensive part of the process. The dealers have a machine they just stick it in and it profiles it according to the VIN. I strongly suspect it's beyond the scope of a dude with a few files.

Let's hope you never find out.

I need an old Buick, just for the hood ornament.

You can probably find just an old buick hood ornament at a scrap yard or ebay or something
