Ignition Swap

June 27, 2023 by Matt

Got the ignition switch swapped over.

So Nori’s previous owner (the original owner—sigh) gave me two replacement keys, one that looked like a hardware store special, and the other with the current Mazda logo on it. Megumi came with two original keys (see below).

As with most (all?) Mazdas, the ignition switch is secured with two “tamper proof” bolts with blank bolt heads (don’t ask me how Mazda installs them in the first place).

Some Dremel-fu and they came out with a flathead screwdriver:

Removed Nori’s ignition switch the same way, and replaced the bolts with some Allen-head M8x1.25x20mm bolts:
