That $11 Carol Cable Set from Oriely's
These wires just didn't want to grab the spark plugs, I couldn't even attach the coil to distributor wire after fiddling with it from 15mins, so I just threw the old one back on.

Solved my stabilizer bushing problem(pics posted in another thread on fabrication.) Installed a civic style short-shifter as recommended by many on this forum. Added a Skull shifter handle for more horsepower. Installed an LED dome light array. Still working on a solution to my stereo Remote wire being completely inoperable.

Finally got my Proto 17mm X 3/4" drive hex impact socket.
There will never be a set of seatbelts that I won't be able to remove from any Festiva. I will either snap the heads off the bolts or the sheet metal from the body will twist off from the weld stud. No more Mr. nice guy. Now I just have to return to Casey's and get those manual seat belts for another honorable FF member.Last edited by bravekozak; 09-08-2012, 07:41 PM.

Picked up some Rio front springs, 2dr Aspire rear springs. Gonna cut them a little more conservatively this time, hopefully that kills off my rubbing issues and gives me a ride quality that's a little better than an oxcart.
Also got a '93 Tercel rear bumper, should match the Stylus front pretty well. Going to have to cut a lot of material off though, the sides go right up to the front of the wheel arch. Alternatively I could cut the other way and have it cover half the wheel like a '50s caddy.
Edit: Post#400 woooo!Last edited by Tommychu; 09-08-2012, 07:50 PM.

Took my rear bumper off to find out mother nature did some weight reduction for me:
But I was still able to start hacking new wheel arches out of the Tercel bumper and mocking it up. Also this pic shows the spot where I filled over the wiper hole in my new hatch with SUPER JDM RACING CARBON FIBER ELECTRICAL TAPE
2 license plates wooo!
Also got my new front marker lights figured out, forgot to snap a picture of that.Last edited by Tommychu; 09-09-2012, 07:02 PM.
