I didn't do it, but hubby did if that counts... got the dual thermostat in that he drove hours for, got a rad flush, and got rear brakes that it turned out weren't squealing, but it was the ebrake hanging up...... and hubby noticed an oil leak while doing the radiator

Autozone, O'Reilly's, Advance, and napa only have the rear trans mount for the 5 speed. I also put steering rack boots on it and freed up the pass side parking brake.

That sucks Willie, how come you couldn't get the swap finished up in time?
1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor
1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)
If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

it wasnt today, but last week i finally got the short throw shifter from my ol' civic in the fes. replaced the crappy oem shifter bushings with some nice bronze ones. no more slop on either end now. topped off with a gsr shift knob i had, much more natural feeling, just a bit lower than the original. the spring was a PITA, but overall i cant believe i waited as long as i did to finally get that done.
now i just need to get the motivation to repack the rear wheel bearings, replace the drivers side axle and seal, dist. o-ring, cap, rotor, timing belt, tensioner, misc seals, and water pump that are floating around in the basement here- then i can start some fun stuff.Originally posted by scirocco*joeProject Car Theorem:
If
a) w = all time
b) x = time spent at work
c) y = the number of project cars you have
d) z = amount of time you can spend each project car
Then
z = (w - x) / y

Put KYB struts on the back of mine. I didn't know that I knew that many words to call the strut to axle beam bolts.
They would have been a (insert banned word here) to get out, but a little time with a Sawzall took care of them. Afterwards, I got to play with my new MIG.
4 new Boss Audio speakers went in too.Festiva: Because even my dog can build a Honda.

Drove Ms. Scarlet today (90 L+, 72,000 mi, restoring at present, wife's car), and ended up driving it home without a gauge cluster. Needs continuity grease. Then, probably an LED upgrade. Pics to come, via MadScientist's 'build thread', when she starts one.In love with a MadScientist!:thumbright:
There's a fine line between breathtaking ingenuity and "That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen!"
