Today I did a press fit with a Honda Civic console. I do want to get the back piece that has the armrest rather than the flat one but as you can see for I can just slot switches holes and put my seatbelt receivers through or actually remove and replace. The only issue is on the driver side. the metal bracket needs to be bent nwards about an inch. Do not drill new holes in the Honda plastic you would just need some metal straps total Home Depot garbage will work here. IMO total nice fit no gap headed up towards the dash and the glove box area. What is going to hurt financially is trying to find the double din audio package for the civics people really want a lot of money for them. Once I have it I think it will really class up the interior and make it useful.

Yeah, past couple days on startup been having lots of lifter clatter. Used to be just one lifter now I am hearing 2 or 3. I would run sea foam or mmo, but I'd rather not open plugged up leaks that I know I have. Like I know my rear main is leaking, but slowly enough that I don't have to worry about it.

My phone really wants to wash everything out but my car has tan interiorand my console is gray. I discovered rustolrums version of billymays flex seal leaves behind a really nice texture I hit my step rails with it in black and it looks sharp. I kick them all the time and it has not come off yet. I will probably hit my console black for a budget match up

I'm having the lifter noise as well on way to work but my other b3 is not where I can get at it so I'm just hoping for warmer weather and just keep driving it. I imagine it's probably a little more oil burn causing damage doing this because you're not getting a good lift. Oh well have you seen the Z series thread haha

Not what I did, but what the guy who bought it did... finally got it running by replacing the spark plugs and wires [which was all it really needed to be started when I parked it], but noticed it had a bit of a knock [I already told him it's not a bearing, it's because there's a bad injector, but he doesn't believe me], so he's putting a Miata BP into it, I guess.
In any event, they pulled it up out of the yard and into the driveway so it can be hauled/driven out of there after Christmas [so within a week or so, I guess]... and so ends the legacy of the blue Festiva. I'll miss the little... car. [I have others... and probably will soon acquire 2-3 more.]

Is there a substance that isn't bad for the engine that will allow more heat buildup rather than use the cardboard? Sounds like a hard thing to explain to an insurance company

If you are still running 50 50 coolant I would go up to like 80 or 85 percent coolant remember race cars use a lot more water than antifreeze to dissipate heat. try doing it backwards
