I live in Canada and have lost my only key for my Evo 5. will I need to order a new blank key from Japan or can I have a locksmith here cut me a new one ?
You can get one from a locksmith. You may need to remove a lock cylinder and there should be a number on it or take it to the locksmith so they can figure out the key cut.

When I got my 5, I made copies at the local locksmith. They had Ilco blanks that essentially look like 1990’s Mitsubishi blanks. Not the transponder (button) type keys, just the basic metal key. My transponder key is stored in a safe place, along with the Viper alarm remote. Thankfully, I didnt lose the transponder before I made the copies. It happened to me years back and I can’t remember what I did to solve it.
