cruise control?

[vinelandidiot13]

is there any type of cruise control i can put on a manual 91 festiva?

I have a Rostra cruise control kit that I bought from another member but never installed. I can take pictures of it for you if you are interested.

[vinelandidiot13]

yea

Ditto

[eurotiva]

There's cheap aftermarket kits available....google it

[Corycarlo]

Eh, like $200 cheap? I'd buy for half that. At $200+ I have to continue to try to justify buying items I do not necessarily need for a third of what I paid for the whole car.

O.K. here is the Rostra actuator/computer. It uses vacuum just to pull on the throttle cable. The computer is located inside the actuator. There is no need to mount a separate computer under the dash. The gray lower cover with the control stick comes with it. I guess you can drill your own hole if you have a brown surround.
There are some good videos on Youtube.

I might have a nearly complete cruise control kit for sale soon. Would include intermittent wiper switch stock with cruise control switches and a complete Ford Tempo cruise setup. Bought from Brave not long ago and I just don't think I'm gonna own a Festiva again. Not anytime soon anyway. Brave put this kit in his car I think and he said there were just a few modifications he had to do to the Tempo cruise system to make it work on the Festiva. Let me know if you are interested.

[vinelandidiot13]

how much?

[Prafeston]

$90 shipped for everything. I said nearly complete, but the cruise system is complete it's just setup for a Tempo so you'd have to talk with Brave about how he made it work. This would include everything you'd need as far as the cruise switches and engine compartment stuff is concerned. Plus you'd get the added feature of the intermittent wiper switch.

i know im a cheap person and this is probally a no but is there anywhere to find one for around 50$ havent had much time to search

[Spike]

That $90 setup was a steal imo. Just pulling the parts in a yard would have been more than that, I'd reckon. Plus all the time it'd take.

[Prafeston]

Yep, I just sold it for $100 after I heard no interest from this thread.

[vinelandidiot13]

well if it hadnt been for a car accident then a robbery deff would have gotten it so watching again for anyone with one for inexpensive or where i can get one
