But hearing that you needed two keys to create a 3rd key and reading of how some folks have misplaced their sets over time. it thought it would be good to act while I have them both in hand.

I read an early 07 post of:
Requiring two keys.....

First – Insert one original key, turning to on (do not start – in all cases), wait 3 seconds & remove
Second – Insert 2nd original key, turning to on, wait 3 seconds & remove
Third – Insert newly cut key, wait 10 seconds and remove - Done



But when I took the keys to the local dealer to buy the blank and get it cut... First they told me I only needed one to program...

First – Insert original key, turn to on, remove
Second – insert newly cut key, turn to on, remove
all within 5 seconds time... and done??

Has anyone tried either procedure - or is neither the proper method?



thanks in advance,

Is it still an accurate reflection of current SCCA proceedures?

I am ready to give SCCA a go and possibly, if I enjoy it enough, take it to the next level and start moding and tuning.

If that thread is current, feel free to delete this and maybe update the title of that thread with "current as of: xxx" disclaimer :)

Or... open that thread so changes can be discussed there?

Plus, it's always easier with a friend around (who wants to be the loner?) :D

I am also somewhat interested in any reasonable driving schools. By reasonable I mean... When the price is $1000+ I think it better be REALLY GOOD or I would rather spend that money attending more events and learn on my own.

Thanks for any info/advice! ]]> Autocross and Racing Discussion (SKY/Kappa) Nova-Exarch http://www.skyroadster.com/forums/f40/scca-nor-cal-28255/ Happy Birthday to MataguaySky http://www.skyroadster.com/forums/f18/happy-birthday-mataguaysky-28254/ Fri, 05 Dec 2008 06:04:46 GMT Todays greetings go out to...Happy Birthday to you.

My car started having hesitations at cold starts and I kept being told it was normal. I felt something was wrong but the techs kept telling me it was OK. Finally my car started showing misfire codes. The first dealership said the car was showing all 4 cylinders were misfiring and that was impossible because my car would be shaking while I was driving it, so all they did was reset the computer. 1 week later misfire codes again. I took it to a different dealership and they put in the new spark plugs. Ran better for 2 weeks and then misfire codes again. They thought it might be the coils but ended up being bad injectors. Now I have a rental for 3 days while the parts from engineering get here. Hopefully this will solve my problem. Add me to the list of bad injectors.

I took the advise of someone who did theirs and followed suit.

You install the transmitter on the wall first (replacing your transmitter).
Then you tap the two wires on your high beams. It doesn't matter which ones you tap and mate with the receiver wires. Polarity is not an issue.

Once I did the tap I put the receiver in the light housing and put the cap back on. Now the entire mod is concealed and you would never know it was done unless you open the high beam cap and see.

The range is about the same as what I had before and it worked the first time I tried it. It is a very easy and clean mod to do and now I don't have to reach into my kappashere pouch to get my remote!

I need a favor. Our son is coming home from the Army on Dec. 14th around 4:00 pm. That's a Sunday. We would really like to have a big group there to welcome him home for the Holidays. We have a motorcycle escort from the Patriot Gaurd Riders and a friend is asking the TN. Miata group to be there as well. I'd LOVE to tie up the airport traffic.
A group is meeting at KMart on Donelson just north of the airport.

Thanks
