what is going to be the best combo for my car..........???

[REDNECK1]

another 2 cent's,...........is the aspire auto tranny the same as the one in the festy, or did they beef it up like the standard,....and will it fit?...........

The ideal setup would be(if you have the ability to fab up disk mounts in the back) Festiva control arms, aspire spindle with EGT caliper and rotor, Aspire rear beam with the EGT rear discs and calipers mounted up, and the aspire sway bay in front.

i have all the hard parts.............what is involved with fabbin' the set up for the rear's? do you know..........

[av8ter]

You have to fab up a 1/4 steel mounting plate to mount onto a bare aspire rear beam. I will find the info on the old site.........

sounds easy..........very cool,.....looks like i might get more than just a motor outta the GT..........

i cannot wait the 2 weeks to start my car.............darn work gets in the way of havin' fun!

Dont forget the master cyl. and brake bookster from the egt too!

in the interest of the project,....i just bought entire cars....i didn't want to be rinnun' to the bone wreckers every time i changed a direction.

i'm at work so i cannot run out and check but is the booster and master not quite a bit lg'er on the EGT?.........i'm gonna end up gutting that car i know it,......i wonder if a second one might not be a bad idea........i know where a roll over is,.....200km on the o.d.,......if it wasn't flipped it would be a mint car!!

pretty basic stuff here..........i wonder how thick the adapter is?,......and would this super custom brk idea be legal if you got in a wreck?...What would happen?...

but it has a cool factor that is WAY up there!

should be legal, might want to find some articles on braking systems tho, the festiva being so much smaller and lighter than the egt, might mess with the brake bias, make them grabby, i know on some cars they actually go to a smaller diameter master cylinder with the larger brakes, something about playing with pressures to make the brakes easier to modulate and less prone to lock up.
