No, sorry. Just whetting your appetite for larger brakes and wheels.
Ideally, you could buy a cheap nonrunning Aspire for under $400 and take most of your parts off it, plus anything else you wanted or could use. Then sell any leftover parts and scrap the hulk. Some folks come out money ahead doing this.

I realize this post is now nearly 7 months old and I might not ever get a response but it's worth a shot as I still have my '90 Festy (in storage for now) and am in desperate need of the wheel list that was post many moons, years ago.
You mentioned a 'wheel list' and I remember there were more than just two or 3 listed from other makes/models/years with our bolt patterns, hub sizes. Could you either link that list or just post it again or email it to me.
I saw that they had the 4 bolt pattern and that they were 13 inch wheels. I immediately called my brother. They were from his old audi 4000s!!
( which is on the wheel list ).
So should I stay with the 12 inch wheels and get
new tires or put on the 13 inch wheels which have practically brand new snow tires on them? and if I go with the 13" wheels is anyone interested in my old 12" ones?Comment
