    Re: Now with more Rio front brakes.

    Aspire rear. Spindle to spindle, right rubber brake hose, and entire e-brake cable.

                Grab those front knuckles including the rotors and calipers. Get the wheels, jack, and spare. Maybe grab the stereo. It's easy to retrofit the stereo if you buy a reverse radio wiring harness and a regular wiring harness for a Festiva (or 88 RX7 if you can't find the Festiva harness). Match the colors on the harness and bam! New "stock" CD player. The seats... shift knob and boot... Speakers if they're good... Anything you think might fit.

                  If you buy a reverse harness for the Rio and a standard harness for the Festiva, I mean.

                      Re: Now with more Rio front brakes.

                      So today I picked up:

                      2004 Rio knuckles, with all brake components; struts with springs and a swaybar.
                      4 rims, 14 inch, with the proper bolt pattern.
                      Replacement rear hatch.

                      Ordered new lower control arms and steering ball joints from the parts store.
                      Located a 97 Aspire with the help from a 4m member.

                      I hope this stuff works! Lol :sly: (radio edit)
