Its a 2009 with 114k miles and a 5 speed manual. Got it for $4k which seems like a pretty decent deal.
It has two minor things that I would like to correct and I have searched the forum, but these issues are not very clear.
1) On the shift knob, the 5 speed pattern (cap) has come off and it bothers me. Is it possible to just replace the cap or do I need to buy a new knob? Are these knobs interchangeable between the 3/5/MX-5?
2) I have no keyfob. Just a plain key. Actually its one key for the door and one for the ignition. I suspect a changed lock cylinder at some point due to a break in (not sure if its the door or the ignition). Anyway I am hoping to do away with the two key system by getting a new fob from the dealer and having them program it. Is the dealer the only way to make this work? It is the base sport model. DId these come from the factory with keyless entry? I was under the impression they all did.
3)If the above will not work, Is it possible to get an entire lockset from a wrecker and replace the ignition and door locks so that I could just switch over the entire set from a wrecked vehicle?
Appreciate the help!
