I have a bunch of vehicles to use and I really need some better front seats in my Festiva...does anyone know if any seats bolt right in or with very minor custom work? I have seats from a 91 Laser, 94 Intregra gsr, 92 blazer, 94 f-150. Im sure I could get more. What are your opinions?

Well def wouldn't use the truck seats... -
Easiest swap, and a nice upgrade, are the Aspire seats. You can also use a lot of Mazda seats from late 80s/early 90s, and early 90s Escort/Tracer seats. On all these swaps, you put the new seat's seat foam and cover on the Festiva metal seatpan, and bolt on the new seatback. About 20-40 minutes per seat. Typically I get seats for $20 at the JY.
You can easily tell which ones are compatible by looking at the seatback mechanism. It should look like the Festy one.
Here is a writeup I did, and there are others too: http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...pire+seat+swapLast edited by TominMO; 03-24-2011, 07:57 AM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

I like sporty so I say the EGT or prelude seats but dsm seats would probably look pretty good in theirComment

i just picked up a set of fc rx7 seats. i dont know how well they will fit but they look awesomeComment

I love mine, they look and feel great. But the track swap was really tough compared to the escort/protege trackswap due to the fabric being shaped much differently, and the hinges being a slightly different width.Originally posted by Ghost View PostComment
