      • Reassembly in progress. The best part about it? Notice the lack of a pesky coil wire and TFI issues!

          • Seats were the order of the day. BernieM and I knocked out a few more sets of upgrades. His are 95 prelude buckets, mine are Integra GSR buckets:


            What does it look like when you take the seat guts from 6 Festiva fronts and 6 integra/prelude buckets to the dump?


            Finished product:

                Thanks man. These were all done with the no-weld method and they all work great. I'm am fairly certain I can install a PAIR of any Honda-based seat into a Festiva within 2 hours now.

                As for the mount, yes it is... wait'll you see the next set of pics from tonight IT'S GO TIME.

                    • Time for the real deal harness swap. Can't stand running those pesky wires through your firewall? Well how 'bout come CNC'd anodized bulk head connectors.

                      Prepare for FESTEVIL.

                        On that note, these are the prelude seats I put in mine, same setup as Don detailed in another thread somewhere around here.

                          Got a link for those? I've been trying to find some that are decently priced for mine.

                            Between the 40 male/female pins, tool, both male and female connector I was right at $90. for the amount of in/out this drivetrain will see it's money well spent and headache removal WELL earned.

                              • Oh barrel loads of fun!

                                Guy I bought the original BP car from did the correct grinding on the pan. However, he also neglected to remove the oil pan bolt. Essentially he ground the stupid bolt in half which made it impossible to remove. So after hacking it off with a grinder I got the old pan down and cleaned out.

                                I don't have any nifty pictures right now. It's just a built BP motor. However, it's done and sealed and turns over easy

                                Thiiiiiiis much closer
