    okay, here's my list on what parts will cost me (in canadian $)
    rotors - $35.98 each
    pads - $35.38
    calipers - $84.92 each
    outer tie rod ends - $152.35 each (ouch)
    flex hoses - $49.48 each
    brake shoes - $66.78
    drums - $53.17 each
    hardware kit - $33.03

    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

    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

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

          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 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 ?

                    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
