My commisserations over your recent probs. Toothpicks??? KRAPATOA!!! WHAT WERE THESE JERKS THINKING!!!
One possibility here comes from my hobby of building models (and yes, I do have the Fujimi 90-91 CRX Si kit). A while back, I bought a set of dental hooks (like the kind they use to clean your teeth), very fine tip tweezers, and a set of hemostats (sissor type tweezers that lock, -- model builders use them for holding parts for sanding/filing/painting). I got all of these for under $10 at a large discount electronics/computer shop in Dallas. You might be able to use the dental hooks to get that slidy thing back open (very fine/small but strong tip). Then use the tweezers to remove la gar-bage. The hemostats came in helpful once when my key broke off flush in the ignition of my old Civic. Of course, it's probably best to just replace the lock. This might be a cheap fix in the meantime though. Hope this helps (may, may not, but it's a possiblity). Derek Wakefield [EMAIL PROTECTED]
