Hi guys. I was wondering what route would be best for 4x100 conversion on an 89 festiva. I tried googling with no results.

Come an get my aspire parts car. It's all there for a conversion. Its free. Is in Oregon, south of Portland 2 hours -
thats about a 6 hour drive for me and unless it runs and can drive back, I don't know how I would get it back here.Comment

You can hit up a junk yard for the front end stuff from another car (aspire, kia rio, mercury capri) and maybe others. You need the knuckle the rotor and the brake caliper. You can bolt that stuff to the festiva. That will change the front to the new bolt pattern you want.
In the rear you can get the entire aspire beam which will make it 4x100. Or you can get just the axle stub and outward and redrill a couple hole to let it bolt to the festiva beam. Or you can buy new drums for the festiva and redrill them to take some studs . Just redrill them to 4x100.
The issue with drilling the drums is that they are hard to get. They have 2 different types. The type you need needs to be flat on the inside. most have contours on the inside to cut down on material. I had to order 14 drums and ended up getting 3 of the type that i needed.
Another issue with going with the front end of another car is that they are bigger. Some are so big that you have to run 14" rims. I have 03 kia rio (the bigger ones (02> are smaller)) brakes up front and my 14" rims clear but are way to close.1990 (LUCIFER 2.0) fully built BP+T with E153, Fueltech FT500, traction control with hopes of 600hp (i drank to much of the KOOL-AID)

+1 on Aspire brakes. No clearance issue with 13" rims, and it's all the braking you need. Also you can still use the Festiva LCA, unlike with Capri knuckles.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Capri knuckles are 4x114.3, same as Festiva bolt pattern. You don't want them if you want to use 4x100 wheels. Plus with the Capri knuckles, 14" is the smallest wheel that fits.Last edited by Team Lightning; 06-22-2016, 11:22 AM.Jerry

Thanks for all of the input. I think I'll just stick with the 4x114. They seem to have better wheel options anyway. Eventually it will be an autox car and I wanted to use my old 6uls but I'll just grab something else.Comment
