How do you start a W with no keys?

Offer his bowling ball for the keys.

 

He doesn't know you have his laptop

damn right.. lappy is mine.

I can offer the like 60 page report from the hospital that describes his genital warts in disgustingly graphic detail. I bet his grandma would like it if I mailed that to her.

If there's any porn on that laptop, I'd be very wary of handling it at all.

they do have 12 different resistors. you will need an ohm meter to find out what the code is]

OT: That's a good point. You should format that laptop ASAP. If there is any kiddie porn on there and you get cought with it, your BUSTED. IBMs include a built in restore partition on the hard disk IIRC. I would do this.

If you have something illegal, there's going to be a record of it no matter how many times you re-format

[1990lumina]

i'm put a new hard drive in it all together if there was anything illegal on the old one....and then DESTROY the old one and put pieces of it all over the country lol

I don't understand why you busted all that shit up.....

Here, we just go to the dealer with the VIN and proof of ownership and say, "make keys"

 

Alternatively, if you have the guys contact you could always buy a set off him.

 

Does that car have 5 spokes?

[ShockTherapy]

so, when i get the HUD from you, will it come with the report of this guy's herpes ?

[supreme_style21]

Cripes! The computer is pron-free. Seems to be his business computer... its just full of real estate stuff.

What proof of ownership? I have photocopies of the returned certified-mail that was sent to the owner informing him of his .. impoundness. Along down the line, that's an important part in getting a title, but the dealerships here won't accept anything but a title. To get a title, I need to have it running to it can be approved as road-worthy. To get it running, I need to have keys. Its f-ed either way.

I'm not even gonna bother trying to contact him... Its my luck that it'll just lead to headaches. And I'm not gonna spend any sort of money just to see HOW it runs when I'm not even gonna drive the car. I've already got WAY too much money into it for what I need it for.

 

But Yes it has 5 spokes.

 

 

I dunno what I'm gonna do with the HUD yet. The trip to get it ended up costing me half of the car's price, so I might end up eBay-ing the entire package and try recoup some of the extra expense. But I can send you the report if you'd truly like.

 

I don't think I'm even gonna bother trying to start it anymore. I'm gonna take what I need out of it and see if the yard will give me like 100 bucks for the engine/trans and the sheetmetal attached to it.

take off the panel under the dash. You need to be able to get to the top/passenger side of the column. From there try grabbing a bracket which would feel and look like a backwards L. Push it towards the front of the car. It is actually on the passenger side of the steering column. See if you can do that. That is how i start the turbo Lumina. The only thing i don't know is if you have to disconnect anything from it so it isn't being stopped by the lock cylinder.

 

Hope that helps.

You have to disconnect the ignition cylinder from the bracket for it to work. And, IIRC, after you disconnect it you still have to turn the ignition cylinder on and move the lever into the "run" position and then turn the igntion off so that you can use that to start the car without the ignition. But its been a while since I messed with it on the Lumina so I could be wrong....

[fastbird232]

It has five-spokes... how attached are you to those wheels?

[Crazy K]

you all are forgetting about passkey. gotta bypass it.

 

it's a shame to waste a probable good engine and tranny. starting it is a cinch if you follow the instructions I laid out. I bet if you spend $5 at a yard for a box and swipe the key that goes with it that the damn thing would run.

 

Now I'm gonna have to create a how to thread to tell everyone what to do!

You're not attached to them at all, are you?

Physically, no. That would put me in an awkward position.. literally.

 

A local guy has shown ever-so-slight interest in them though, but who knows. They gotta stay on the car until I'm done with it. I don't have four spares to put on it and don't feel like tearing up the yard dragging it around on its rotors with the truck.
