My interior is in really good shape. I had some Aspire seat foam laying around. I swapped the foam out on the Festiva seat frames and put the stock Festiva coverings back on. The Aspire foam has the large "R" in the middle. In the picture of the two seats, the passenger one was swapped and the driver was stock.

So... I found out last night when I went to go leave for the Drag Strip that apparently when I added the LEDs to my Cluster I accidentally unplugged it and now I'm assuming I have to take the dash apart to get it plugged back in. I'm assuming its the Speedo cable. Does anyone have any advice on this?"The White Turd" 1993 Festiva 144k miles. (Winner of FOTM November 2016)

SECOND THAT MOVE!
If you don't take off the speedo cable at the trans first, you don't have enough slack in the cable to move it more than a half inch. I also recommend that you pull the cable up in the engine bay, and lay it flat along the top of everything else so that you can pull it in and out of the firewall easily (video to come).
Take a good look at the connectors when you do and see if any of the connectors in the plug are loose. (PUSHED CONNECTOR scenario)Last edited by Greywolf; 06-12-2016, 11:13 PM.Most people don't drive what they want at all, and never will

Just unscrew the top part that has a large hex head made on it, 19 mm. I did so much cluster swapping that I cut off a 19mm open end wrench to about 4" long just for that as 19s are usually long and cumbersome in the space there. There is an "ear" on the end of the cable that can be aggravating to line back up with the corresponding groove, but you won't have to worry about crud getting into the fluid while it's disconnected."The White Turd" 1993 Festiva 144k miles.

Did you check your fuses?
I did accidentally ground out my 10mm wrench the other day while tightening the Positive battery terminal, it arched a little but I don't see how that could cause any of that to go bad. I'll probably get a chance to look at it today now that I am caught up with school work for a day or two."The White Turd" 1993 Festiva 144k miles. (Winner of FOTM November 2016)

It was last week but my girlfriend and I painted blue red and white pin stripes on my car and painted the rims blue. Also waxed it real good and made it shinier than ever.

Last week I got a 10 inch sub with a 300 watt amp installed and it hits real nice. After that I got rear speakers installed and I think they look pretty nice.
