        And it's back on the road, got it running well enough to get emissions and get it registered. They let me know that after this year it won't need emissions or anything ever again.



        Had a bit of free time so I made a shift knob out of some oak wood from a tree I had cut down, going to stain it to match the oem knob.




        Caught a break between the rain and cold weather it wash it up and take it for a few drives. Fires right up, idle seems solid, temperature gauge stays right in the middle so it's looking like I've worked out most of the issues. Going to swap out the coil packs when I get around to changing the valve cover. It takes alot of effort to get into 2nd and 3rd gear so I'm guessing I'm going to need a new clutch sooner than later.



        And lastly finished the wheels, going to get some 255/45 tires and than I'll get the coils on by the weekend or next week at the latest

          Definitely a rough starting point, but it seems like with some love it will transform pretty quickly. Love the finish on the Style 5s, I had a set on my old compact. One of the best OEM wheels ever made imo haha.

              So the seats arrived. No name eBay specials. Overall they seem pretty sturdy. Pretty much the exact color I plan on dyeing the interior to.





              Going to be using VAC Motorsports seat brackets to mount them. They should be here tomorrow

              It's been about 3 weeks now waiting on the VC gasket, ign could, Sparks plugs and a few other things. They are supposed to be delivered Saturday though so we shall see.

              Happy New Year's everyone!

                Interesting choice of seats. But nicely done on the wheels man! Can never go wrong with Style 5s

                  Lol thanks! Stay tuned going to be alot of interesting choices going forward. The seats seems pretty nice, it'll take a few months of driving to see how they hold up.

                    So the rest of the parts arrived. VAC seat moubts,everything lines up perfectly. The seats seem extremely low so I'm going to have to look into some ways to raise them up a bit.





                    Finally got the VC gasket, and tires so that'll be a project for next weekend.

                      let me know how you like the seats, and how they hold up. been tempted on this style, but wasnt sure on the long-term quality

                        Any reason for not running the style 5 center caps? Someone made nice aluminum replacements, not sure if they are still available.

                          Will do! Can't say I expect them to last forever but from looking over them the quality seems alot better than expected.

                            I've run style 5s and 19s in the past. I just wanted to try something different with them. I still have the center caps so if I want to change up the look again I can always paint en and throw them on.

                              I dig the seats, if you don't mind me asking, how much did they cost?

                                Thanks! The seats were 260.
