ultimate FWD drag Festiva, which motor?

[shorestiva]

How do I do a aspire swap and will these wheels fit it?

[Flyin4stroke]

How many swaps can I do without doing a bp swap? I know I can bp swap but what else will fit.

[DriverOne]

All the time around here :razz:.

BTW, what wheels will fit on a Festiva?

Square wheels do best.

[skeeters_keeper]

I like my square wheels!

I vote rotary it.
honda probably has the best/cheapest aftermarket and there are tons of fast fwd civics, so there is plenty of info out there... but rotary can get more powa out of a smaller package. I want to build a FWD rotary festiva one day... anyone want to give me an engine?

Only if you're in Canada.


I found this random part from a random car on ebay that kinda sorta if you squint and turn off the lights looks like it'd fit on my festiva. Will it work?

There's a guy down here in South FL who has a festy with a 4G63 mounted in the rear.

Last I heard he was trying to make it AWD...but that was like 2 years ago.

The biggest limiter on FWD power is usually the trans/axles...and well Honda owns mazda in that department....DSM's break too much.

From my experience a BP works pretty good

Go for it! The last guy got to love it for over ten years. I wanna see all festivas fast. 13 was.a tough barrier for me to break, then into the 12s (5 trannies, 3 motors)....I have much respect for someone to even try. I've had my car since '05 and I know it's a challenge for a Festy to go 11s.

My car still has some left in it. I didn't go as far as I could have. Just in case...lol

Do you guys have 1/4 mile or 1/8th ?

There's no way a KLZE will ever fit in a Festiva though :p

Wasn't there some nut in Canada that did that?

I still vote 4G64/63 combo

I bet it was a journey! I'm gonna try my best. I'm trying a few new things we'll see how it goes. We have 1/8th mile local, 1/4 mile is about 1-1.5hr drive. 11.78 is damn fast in a Festy!

That guy was an idiot, otherwise why else has no one else tried that swap :p
