  • Tiburon seats

    Has anyone ever tried to adapt a set of Tiburon seats into a Festiva?
    Tiburon is a very small car too.
    I saw one at the shopping mall yesterday morning, came home, went on the Bay and


    If I can get theses babies installed. I will sell my complete sport interior.

    Anyone know how if I need power to make the SRS work?
    There is nothing like the feel of real leather.

      don't try to apply the SRS in the seats, you'll have nothing but trouble and may ruin the seats altogether. (SRS= safety restraint system, aka: airbags)
      Trees aren't kind to me...

      currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
      94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

        Srs

        Yes. I bought them now. Isn't SRS supposed to save you in the event of a side impact?
        Where is the airbag located? Where the red writing is?

        I found a picture. It looks like it fires at the door level.

          within the side foam....don't try and hook ir up. It would take impact sensors, a control module....so on and so forth. We have a set of those in our yard from a 2003.

            Be very careful when installing these - I would find a blank plug to insert into the plug to keep it from acidentally appling

              I'm interested in how they turn out. Does the Tiburon have rear seats? I may grab a set of seats out of a Crossfire in the future (boss' son crashed his and plans to part out at some point).

                rear seats

                Yes the Tiburon has rear seats. But I have no use for them. Go on the Bay and search Tiburon leather. These seats have soft leather and are nicely sculpted. Not like some of the old horse skins that are removed at the glue factory. I would bet they would fit nicely, too.
                I would rather install some lighted vanity visors from a Mini Cooper instead.

                  A friend of mine has many many tiburon parts, he has a 00' with a body kit/paint job and has a parts car, and i think he currently is fixing a third tib to re-sell

                  If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                    Do you think he can get me the missing plastic handle for my driver's seat?

                          just like in the listing

                          It should be the same as the one for the passenger seat in the eBay listing.
                          The images are copyrighted, so I don't want to pull them off even though I could.

                              Pretty nice seats aren't they?? Ugly as sin those Crossfire's though! But, just my opinion.

                              The reason I asked if it had rear seats is 'cause the front seats will be made for it.
