What's a good Lock to get

What's a good lock to get if someone tried to break in to your car and messed up the lock where you can't even put your key in anymore?

nope, he meant lock. someone tried to break into his car or something. they left one of his key holes all jacked up. you cant even put a key in it. it looked like a prision biches' butt.

i think you should bring it to the dealer ken.

That's sucks, man. It's sad these days that kids can't even jack a car properly.

I remember, back in the day, when you would come out and your car was locked, the alarm was properly disconnected, and you wouldn't notice anything was wrong until you saw there was an empty space where your stereo used to be.

These days, you come out to your alarm blaring to find your window broken, you dash torn to hell, and some idiot kid running down the street..

You can probably fit a Solex car lock in there. Almost all of my AE86 friends have them installed and they haven't got their car stolen yet.

I don't like the dealer and I don't like their prices and it's most likely not covered by warranty.

It's funny you mentioned that doodoo. I was looking into shaving the doors haha but then the reality sets in and you have to spend over 1500 and there might be a chance you can't get back into your car if you run out of batteries... that would suck.

Solex is da bomb. Old school locks, awesome security BUT hard to find !
Check with the old school Toyota guys. Or even better, if you have the hook-up in the Philippines, you can find them there.

When I'm back in the Bay Area, I might be able to get you a set of Solex.
