    Made some progress on mine today. FINALLY got the trans cleaned up respectably.

    Went to mount flywheel/clutch to b6, noticed the crank snout was different. Got all discouraged and put all my tools n junk away and preparing to source a b6 flywheel. Then my dad came out and I showed him what was wrong, and the little ring popped right out of the snout. Problem solved! Progress continues! Must've been a auto trans thing or something. Either way, glad I don't have to buy more stuff.

    How much?
    Are you going to the NCstiva meet?

    Here are the prelude seats. They look really good if I do say so myself.

    Relocated the coil to the fender core support, swapped in a good window winder mech from a parts car, and contemplated tinting the windows. Also sprayed it off good and doused it with car wash "wax".

    Ordered a T-stat, and front seals.

    Good luck with that one, I would be worried that the seats will sit too high.

    But anyway, I am finishing up my Prelude seat swap today.

    Well they are not going in as easy as everyone says. Ran out of daylight, going to have to continue tomorrow.

    Just picked me up a nice pair of 92' Prelude seats, no tears or obvious stains, just need to give them a bit of a clean because lots of dirt that got into the car got on the seats.

    Just working on fabbing the tabs for the rear mounts and they should be in.

    Already test fitted the drivers side, sat down, and could tell they were definitely more comfy, and held you better than those rocks you call Festiva seats.

    Cut the control arms off the car... time to remove the cages and get some bolts.

    Need strut bolts and nuts too. Can't wait for all of this to be done... going through anti-seize and grease like crazy!

    e-brake grabs a little better but still not good enough, I think the cable is stretched, because it is tightened all the way down, and the brakes still barely engage.

    God these parking brakes are poorly designed.
    Driverone told me about the adjuster on the rear beam, that helped some too.
