I really want to clean up under the hood. I really like a very clean look. Comparing cars that I see at car shows I have seen simpler carbureted engines that have a really good tuck. However with the amount of wires, vacuum lines, and other things under the hood I cannot see how to significantly make a huge impact on the Festiva. If people have pictures of their cleaned up under hood stock Festiva that would really be appreciated
Looking at mine, it looks like there is a lot of Wires and Connectors that aren't even being used. If only there was an easy way to remove them/hide them without having to take apart the entire loom or cutting them off completely.

Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

I have trimmed some vaccume lines making them two inches shorter here or there. I am looking for (and please anyone tell me where) a spark plug wire re-tipping crimping tool that when I crimp the ends of a spark plug wire tip it curls the folding ends together to clamp into the wire. I want to measure, cut, retip my spark plug wires and put plastic spacers to hold them aligned. - - -I'm amazed that the engine is so small that we can use a jet ski battery! How many cold cranking amps is needed? I see it's duralast and I'll look at Autozone
What else have people done to clean up under the hood with a factory Festiva engine bay???
Lawn & Garden battery works awesome, Me and some friends of mine have been using them for a good looooong while w/o any problems no matter what temp it is outside. Also the fact that they are only like $25 dollars at walmart.
hot on left, cold on right, and 5h17 don't flow uphill!?!?!?
