Ken Block Style Festiva?

[devon527]

That absolutely virtually rocks, now do it in reality!

Thanks Iceracer! I love it

Get coilovers for a civic (square body late 80's early 90's) the spring height is correct. Don't get crx springs they are way way too short. Cut your bumpstop in half and install the coilovers, they simply slide over your strut, its a verry simple install. Word to the wise don't get 350lb springs..... I did and they are brutal on the spine and neck!

Okay I will make sure not to get 350 pound Hahaha

PTHH thats silly talk!!! i run 500 450 on my daily driver and its just fine!!!!


i personally used nissan sentra ground control ones, they work great.. Ground control coilovers are rediculously expensive compared to ebay ones because of the different spring rates and higher quality perches... but the ebay ones work fine sadly enough i run ebay ones on my race car and ground controls on my dd festiva... its all the same stuff ive bought numerous sets from toyota celica to civic to miata they have all interchanged for me.

here are a couple pics of mine and how they fit on. They may be rougher then a set of FMS springs but you can lower them quite abit more and the car will handle amazing with a set of higher rate springs + lowered

Okay here's a preview, didnt finish it just yet but took me about twenty minutes lol what do you think?

SO tempting! I already have a white Festy. I'd much rather run bmw bottlecaps though.


I'll be starting a project thread on the guy in the next day or two. Gonna turn it into a rally festiva. I haphazardly built one about 2 years ago and it was a lot of fun. Now to do it again but do it right with out involving a sawzall

Just be careful to see how tall the springs are bc the first set I bought for a crx where wayyy too short. Unless u feel like riding on bump stops lol witch I did for 3 months and its verry bouncy.

Yeah if the sentra ones work I might try those, I want to be able to adjust my springs

how would my car sit if i used my stock springs with those coilover sleeves????

Awesome! If you need any help lemme know. I'm gonna build the GL similar to the silver one I had but with out all the sawzall action. and its going even higher.

That is SICK! Love the cut-out fenders lol

It was a clean little festy until it Nuked a spindle while driving. Lucky for me I was not on any roads. I then decided to tow it across the property where it hit a tree and knocked out the drivers' side headlight. I had a ton of fun taking it through 4x4 trails and passing 30K dollar mall crawlers.

Its life was ended when It would no longer pass smog. afaik it was parted out.

[devon527]

Gotta keep it fun! I drift and rally mine all the time, did today in the snow with my buddy and his Festiva lol

[mattman]
