been working on the car for a couple days but not much to update since im just doin wiring...







BUT, i got fed up with wiring last night and decided to tackle something else for a bit..

How's the fit? Much modifying needed?

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

they're not fully in yet, have to trim the panels cuz the seat is huge lol..After the panels are trimmed they should clip right into the factory holes for the rear seat, worse comes to worse i'll have to drill new holes & transfer over the CL-S clips..

I love them though, soo damn comfy.. after i threw them in i fell asleep in the back seat for like an hour lol

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

haha, that's great you fell asleep back there. I have always wanted to do this seat swap front and back, make sure to take plenty of pics for me

DaInFaMMuS1

wow that looks good Allan. I really don't want a back seat at all anymore so i don't think i'd venture to do that on my car lol.

spencer_homer

looks SO good. like ^, id do it but i dont have back seats

Looks great man. can't wait for the finished product.

Wow, I missed the last couple updates. Looking awesome. Like others said, a dash conversion would've been insane (not to mention legendary) but even the gauges are a good bit of work.

The back seat looks awesome. I, apparently like others, don't have a back seat, but that CL-S seat looks amazing in there. Big time props man, keep up the good work.

the back seats are very nice in the 2nd gen I like how there is cup holders and a locking space!

Cars coming along real nice...hope its ready for the niagra cruise bro!

everytime i look on this thread i say "wow" lol. Hows the engine/tranny part of the build coming along?

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

still hasn't been touched since i've just been goin wiring crazy the last couple days.. but im hoping to have it atleast pulled within the next week or so cuz i need to get the engine bay harnesses out & it's just not happening with the motor in there..

Im gonna start hustling more on this since im starting a new job May 1st working full-time instead of this 3 day a week BS so i wont have as much time to get on it as i do now...also, my beater has seen better days, it's down to 3 cylinders & it's definately on it's way out

should be an exciting few weeks comming up..

Damn, how tempting

Won't fit from experience.

Make sure you take pics of the swap! (Mainly how you end up mounting that beast)

f22vtec

those seats loook hot! Were they hard to install?

DaInFaMMuS1

There's absolutely no way to make it fit? what was the issue with it?

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

The amount of clearance they have from the tranny to the subframe can fit a fistful and some. With me on the other hand, you have about 2 inches if that.

DaInFaMMuS1

And that is effecting what, intercooler piping or something?

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

It was the piping from the turbo to the turbo manifolds.

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

well it took my 2 days but she's out..






Im beyond exhausted, ended up having to pull the motor ALONE due to the fact the my buddy is fuckin useless & bailed on me last minute. It was the single hardest thing i've ever had to do, still cant believe i pulled it off..

definately not pulling the swap off this week since im back to work 2morrow night. I have the 3.0 subframe already here though & after looking it over i definately won't be able to use the CL-S tranny mounts at all do to the fact that the middle connecting beam is on the opposite side of the tranny, so there goes that plan.

So im ordering the Hasport j-series EK driver side mount/bracket along with the pass mount/bracket & get that taken care of. As for the front & rear mounts, i can work with the OEM mounts, just gotta redrill holes for the rear mount & for the front im gonna have to cut off the bracket thats welded onto the CL-S subframe & re-weld it to the 3.0 subframe so that the mount will just bolt right on..

HOPEFULLY, if all goes well & i get a reliable friend, i want to at least have the motor mocked up in the engine bay next week to go over any minor tweaks that may need to be done. It would really help if i could get the stuff im ordering tonite in by next monday, that would be ideal..




Sound like fun???...cuz it sure is

Oooh boy, another step closer!

X1!


Glad your making good progress man... everytime you get pissed or tired jsut remember one thing....all worth it in the end!

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

doing a big job like that alone sucks ass but at the same time when your solo there's no distractions & u just get shit done..

Just ordered the mounts & i won't have em in till late next week if all goes well..

but in the meantime i can work on the engine & clean it up, do timing belt/waterpump, crank pulley etc.. so that it's ready to go when the mounts arrive.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

Good stuff, I plan to do all that if I ever get to yank my engine out

early morning J..



mid afternoon J...






anyways, they've arrived..



soo mint..



finally got that damn pass bracket out too, it was one hell of a struggle..



2morrow miiike is comming to lend a hand & teh mockup is happening but first i gotta chop a piece off the new mount bracket so that it'll sit flush on the frame rail cuz the kit is for a civic and needs some minor adjustments. One thing im not lookin forward too is drilling/taping the tranny for the driver bracket..

DaInFaMMuS1

Progress! Nice! How much longer till u think you'll have it in the car?
