I'm skeptical at allowing this thread to go UP,but If you need help on this I HIGHLY suggest that anyone that gives you advice in this do so by PM.
I do not want to turn this into a "how to hot wire an Rx7 in 10 seconds' thread!
If this suggestion is not met the thread will be closed.
Thanks guys,.STYX (MOD)

With that last statement,you may be able to get an idea with any info found in a "kill switch mod" thread that is already posted on the forum.
I would be searching related threads such as that for wiring info.

or, just saying here, go to dealer and get a new lock cylinder and do it right. It is not very expensive, and takes very little time to do the RIGHT way. The dealer by me re-tumbled all my door lock cylinders for free as well to match new ignition key.

Happy brappin

How did you get it to crank if the key is broken?

Shorting the Starter under the car I'm assuming. However this will not start the car.

Just sayin, you get new keys with it. I fail to see what's so complicated here.
