Woot for v6!!!

[Damkid]

So what exactly are you planning to do? are you going to attempt a V6 swap or something?

Am I going to be the only one to point out that its a VERY bad idea to weld to a forging? The Festy LCA should not be welded to. Welding on forgings and casting causes embrittlement of the material, which will lead to catastrophic failure. Please, for your safety and of those around you, replace the portion of Festy LCA with a stub arm fabricated from chrome moly tube. I like what you're doing, and want to see you and the car stick around, not read about you on failblog.org

Pictures of rear mount!!!!

i tried, didnt turn out too well while laying under a car with the camera 3 inches away from what im taking a picture of

Yeah it would be nice, Where are you mounting the other part of the A-arm to?

hard to describe, but there is a steel plate above where the oem mount is. I ran a 12 " long piece of angle iron welded it to the plate and ran along side the frame rail with 2 12mm tranny bolts through the frame rail and angle iron. with another steel plate on the other end of the angle for the 2 bolts on the control arm.

the one side is finished i had the strut and knuckle bolted up today and tried the wheel on for size.... looks somewhat like a monster festiva

when the other side is done im going to integrate a crossmember to link the two sides together at the rear control arm mounts...

That will look sweet if that suspention swap will work. the 5 lug will give the festiva a mean look. Hope everything works out for you. good luck

Friday I bought a 94 Ford Probe GT for a doner car. I pulled the control arms, hubs, suspension, and cut the strut towers out of it. The car is now scrapped !

heres some pics of the hybrid PGT/Festy control arms, took me 5 hours to make one. and took another 7 hours to get the control arm mounted. I threw in a pic with the hub on there just to see what it looked like. Tomorrow ill have pics with the PGT strut tower welded in and suspension and such bolted up.

As of now I plan on running a 215/40/16 on the stock PGT "swirlie" wheel. once i get one mounted up we'll see if its actually doable.....
