        I've got the B6T and GM25R transmission. I think thats why I can fit the axles in no problem.


        Take it back to the back porch, join the 3 string revolution.

              Right, so to sum it up. If you're doing this swap on an otherwise unmodded Festiva, you need

              Capri knuckles/brakes
              Asprire lower control arms

              And that's it, right? Do the Festiva shocks fit the Capri knuckle? Are the Aspire control arms longer or are they shorter than Festiva control arms? Thanks!

                that's what you need

                festy shocks fit, and the aspire control arms are LONGER

                  I'm running 14" wheels off of a Capri XR2 so I won't have a problem,but for everyone else thinking of doing this swap what is the smallest rim size that can be used?

                      Oh, one more...do the Festiva brake lines work, or do you need to rip off the ones from the Capri also?

                        Mine bolted right up. But I have the GM25r transmission. Most likely I think they will.
