I was thinking about that pool ball one and was wondering, shouldnt you not put too much weight on the ignition or is it fine to put heavier things on your key.

[offroadbob]

The plug key doesn't weigh very much at all. So there shouldn't be any extra undo force that you wouldn't be putting on the ignition anyways while turning the key to start it. It looks sweet in the ignition!! I'll have write up sometime tonight or tomorrow. Its very simple... all you need is a grinder (bench or hand held) and some epoxy. I actually used the lock tite super glue gel that stuff is strong I cant even break it loose w/ a pair of pliers.

{SPARK PLUG WRITE UP}

First off get your spark plug. I chose to use some spare Bosh platinum spark plugs I had laying around.

Next you need to break off the electrode ground.

After you have it broken off it should look like this (I just used a pair of pliers)

Once the ground is gone you need to break out the electrode in the center of the plug.

After it is broken it should just come out like this.

Your plug should look like this (after a quick cleaning)

Next you need to work on the key. You need to grind it to 3/8" wide (the width of the shaft of the key). Then grind the top of the key so that it measures from the groves in the key 5/8" (give or take depending on how far it goes into the plug.

now it is time to move onto the installation. Get your glue (I used the loctite but epoxy will work great too). ~sorry about the blurry photo but you get the idea~

I used a thread bobbin to hold the spark plug upright.

Then add the glue to the hole. Fill it to the top!

Wait for it to dry (most cases 24 hours) Now enjoy you new HP gains!!!

Sorry about the dirty car... it seems every time I clean it the dust attacks it the next day.

[Jadesr20det]

^^Looks awesome...how long have you had it? id be afraid that it would break in my ignition though im wierd like that lol

[offroadbob]

Only had it for a day so far. So far so good the only hard part is turning it but it is getting easier to do the more I use it. The loc tite super glue is amazing I can't even get the key out when I have the plug in a vise pulling on the key w/ a pair of pliers. So I will let you know of the longevity of it.

i want one of the snap-on ones!!!:P

[Boost2Love]

soo...i got inspired cause my key was looking old and dumb just sitting on my chain.....so i decided to either use an old cell phone or my old piston....i have a brand new piston from a gokart motor.......i think i might use the phone cause its a slider and its lighter than the piston......but yea im in the development stage ill let you guys see it when im done if it works! im hoping for the best ........ along with using my best friend gorilla glue.....oh and heres a pic of the phone im trying to use......it went swimming in the ocean and now i have a Voyager.....like it

[offroadbob]

Sounds fun. Definably do it up and do a write up!

I'm going to use the screwdriver idea, i'm using a Master Mechanic. It's a longer handle. I'll try to have pics in a couple days, this is the one i'm using:[IMG] [/IMG]

Someone I know got this key cover from a shop in Akihabara, Japan.

[s14tan]

@ cell phone key!

[94_240sx]

@ cell phone key!

This is cool. It'll be cooler if the key pops out when you push the button. It'll be funny if the phone actually works.

[sil.40]
