that miata is NICE!!!!!!!!!! details on whats done to it?

there should be a picture thread where festiva owners dump pics of their miatas, ill have pictures to post.

Bustiva: where are you getting fender flares? there are some for a miata on ebay.com that will fit on a festiva. I want to get 2 pairs but they wont ship to Canada.

did you do the work yourself? is there a build thread anywhere? pics?

the spinning Dorito mystifies me... otherwise i would have done that a longgg time ago.

[BUSTIVA]

Yeah I did the work myself, still a work in progress though. No build thread, or many pics. I'll get around to it one of these days lol.

Thinking about going down a tire size to 195/45/15s, I don't have any rub issuses at the moment but I just think the tire is too tall looking for the car size lol.

I like that, very vw-ish also like the flat olive green. Post pics when you get the rears done.

[BUSTIVA]

lol, it looks like a mini steamroller right now with the stock rears!

Yep. They're about 10mm taller than stock tires. 195/50s increase that to another 9mm or so for a total of about 19mm taller than stock.

Exactly, I think when scaled up, a Festiva on 195/45/15s would look about like a normal sized car on 17s with low pro tires lol.

A little Mexican, but want to see finished product.

Bumping this back up to the top!

Has anyone attempted to cut out the rear fender wells yet? Any tips, ideas, etc?

I will be getting back on this asap, I'm really excited about the way the Festiva is coming along way with the new motor swap, wire tuck, and wheels.

I also now have 195/45/15 tires for the wheels, should be a better fit than the 195/50/15s pictured previously.

I have mine hammered flat. They are tough. It took a block of wood on the outside and a 5lb mini sledge from the inside.

I'm guessing from the amount of suspension travel you have left that the car no longer qualifies as a curb hopper.
