tomorrow i'll be picking up the aspire swap and i'll see what's good and what needs to be replcaed, and if i don't get tie rods with it i'll be looking for a good set of used ones

Use Escort tie rods they are way cheaper and fit exact! I am going to buy slotted rotors off Ebay. (they loook cooler!)

[nautical_lifens]

what year escort tie rods, and what model??? i need new tie rods for my aspire

[25Horseplay]

Safety guy (Karl) did a write up on the Escort ends, either search or PM him. I think they are early 90's tie rods.

I used a pair from a 91 escort gt with 5sp, 1.8l, non-abs. You know the normal routine when you need to know all this shi...stuff just to get a single part.

well i just got back from picking up the aspire hubs and rear beam from Ypsibob, and while i was there we stopped by autozone and the guy there said he has a non street legal, 10 sec. twin turbo festiva and soon to be 9's, aparently he's already a member and goes to the festiva festivals, anyway he said the 323 outer tie rods will work because he has used them so i bought a pair, came to about 60 bucks, and soon i'll know for sure whether or not they fit, they look like they will anyway

I don't recall any twin turbo Festiva's at any FF's. Does anyone else remember this?

[packrat427]

I have never heard of a twin turbo Festiva anywhere.

You should get ahold of him and ask him to get some pics .

Did you ask him if he was a member here ,or ask him to join ?

[Damkid]

well he gave his number to ypsibob, because his friend is doin a b6t swap and Ypsibob asked him for help since (to me) he really seemed to know his stuff when it came to festivas

[Guest]

[Damkid]
