pictures of diff carnage

[Hot_Wheels]

well ive been runnning jasons festiva (festicle) for about 2 months maybe? i tried launching the car from a stand still had some wheel hop and stayed in it a little to long ( full passs) so the end result was explosion of the spider gears and damage to the phantom grip. At first i thought maybe i broke a control arm or axle due to the car was pulling hard to the left. i was able to limp the car home for about a mile with no diff ( didnt leave me stranded!) so my built kia trans is going in this car and maybe a set of gtx front control arms to help with the wheel hop. it shoould be intresting if we can get the car to hook with the current power it maybe a contender.

ouch that looks like it hurts

what kinda engine/hp are you running?

and gtx front control arms in a festiva? ive never heard of that.

[Hot_Wheels]

the car was dynoed at 288 to the wheels, the gtx controls arms are pretty close when slid it the stock control arm box, another torque box will need to be made for the front bushing. my friend is fabricating it, he was thinking of adding another torque box coming of the custom cross memeber to tie it all together.

wow........ what kind of trans were u using? the engine is eating the car alive :|

[eurotiva]

I replaced all the rubber in the front suspension with delrin and have very little wheel hop.

[sasquatch]

ya i dont have much wheel hop now but i just need more grip...

actually what i need is to get my car running

[Damkid]

Oh that car!! that one looks like a beast to drive!!

[gorgonheimer]

I sure would like to see pictures of that suspension setup when its together.

[skeeters_keeper]

The question still stands, was that a G series or a stock festy? In the FS thread he doesn't mention which trans it has, just 'new axles'. I hope my G series with PG lasts better than that :p

[91_festy_Gl]

Thats a stout looking festy. Just the appearence makes it look like a beast.

[muscle_Car1]
