Postby trd-drifting » Wed Feb 22, 2006 6:35 am

Any one know of any desent brand of car locks etc.. like solex that will fit a *a70 supra. I have a Ma70 and solex dont make a specifice lock that will fit are there any toyotas that have the same type of lock as a supra, or is there another brands that will fit in. I just have to replace my drivers lock and i want a desent lock. So i will replace them all if i can.Any help would be appreciated.

Go to a panel beaters and get the locking mechanism paneled over so theres no key entry, then just use keyless entry and always keep a spare beeper thingy on you. No way to screw driver the doors that way.

and if you did go lockless it can also be an idea to wire a hidden loom plug (eg, something that looks like an un plugged washer bottle or something) for an external release incase something did happen to your battery- depending on a systm a good 9v bat wired to thic can be enough to unlock.

locking hold is on the handle of the *a supras which is cast, so it would be just as easy to glass/fill it in yourself and get a paint match.

Go keyless but leave the lock barrels in the door. Pull the mechanism arms off the back.
This way, people may try to screwdriver the lock (but can't get in) set off the alarm and then leave. If you cover over they will just go straight for the window with a rock and do a GST attack...

If they break a window, its alot noisier than breaking a lock, its cheaper than breaking a lock. And with a shock sensor/glass break sensor, your alarm goes off too (it should anyway if they screwdriver the lock). Its just an extra preventative, because come on. The real guys dont screw around, if they want a car, theyll get it as im sure many people here have seen.
