      Flyin', nice seats! $40 is just a stupidly ridiculous deal. Will you match the interior to the seats now?

        Probably just get some black carpet. Door panels will come eventually. It's easy to swap seats. I did mine in a couple hours.

          Just picked up new tires 175/65-r14. Now I just gotta get the kia/aspire suspension done so I can put them on!

            What kind of alterations did you have to do to get them to fit the stock mounts? Or did you create new mounts? Tell us! I know of a JY with a couple of MX-3's!

              Jack, the LX seats with the headrests are pretty desirable. Especially if they are in good shape.
              OK, I guess someone might be interested in mine once I get them switched out?

                  Thanks guys!

                  Just take your stock seats out pull the hog rings off the bottom cushion and undo the back from the base 2 Alan bolts and a 10mm. Do the same with the new seat. Then switch them and put them back together.

                    • Today: bought an 89LX holey front passenger seat (pristine condition!), split rear-seat (not a single rip on it but it did have 2 small spots that will have to be washed), rear hatch with defrost glass AND wiper, a complete AC package, and as a bonus....the pax seat had both tray rails and the underseat tray! :thumbs_up:

                      When I reached under the seat and pulled the tray out the owner didn't even know that the tray was an option on Festivas.

                      Here's the best part: cost for everything was $120. :thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

                        So theres are the seatbacks out of the mx-3 and the base from the Festiva just with the padding/seat cover from the mx-3? I'm heading to the JY in the morning to do this to my car if I can find the right seats. let me know ASAP!

                            But also found out why it takes so long to warm the engine, the thermostat is stuck open. (Opened the radiator cap with cold engine, coolant moved when starting)
