My new festy build thread

[91blufestiva]

Went to the junkyard today to get a big list of stuff. Only ended up getting 4 things.

2-626 int. wipers (white)
2-626 power mirror switches (white)
Here's a pic of the wiper stalk installed (and it works, yay!). And you can see my tach installed also.

And a random pic of the whole car


I'll be selling the other int. wiper stalk, so tell me if you want it!

[freshtiva]

You will like that intermittent wiper !

[91blufestiva]

Oh, it hasn't even rained yet, and I'm enjoying it! I get a kick out of just watching it pause for a couple of seconds in between motions!

[Festiva_tunner]

lol your amazed by such simple things

[freshtiva]

Get your garden hose out and simulate some rain.

[91blufestiva]

I think I can wait at least until it actually rains. lol

yes, I can get amused by the little-est things sometimes...

I put a exhaust tip on it, and I'm going to be painting the valve cover this color one day, it's called "Ford Dark Blue"

[91blufestiva]

went out and took some pics of the exhaust tip. It's just a tip, so it doesn't change the sound at all, but I hope to find a good muffler that will make it sound awesome.




What is a good cheap muffler that will fit right onto the pipe? And that will change the sound. Could I get a cherry bomb that will fit directly onto the exhaust? How much do those normally run?

[JPT]

I have a Cherrybomb on mine. Love the sound. Nice and deep and it doesn't sound like those "Coffeecan" fartboxes.

Keep the factory resonator (or at least add one) or it will sound all tinny and buzzy.

It'll be really loud too.

I got mine at Auto Zone for $25.00

[91blufestiva]

What size is it? all you did was just cut the old muffler off, and put the cherrybomb in replace of it?

edit: took more pics.

i just put a 2.5 inch straight pipe on mine... and it sounds awesome as long as your mid pipe has a resonator on it, it should be fine... if not then ya, stick a cherry bomb on it...

[91blufestiva]

I haven't checked, Im guessing it has a resonator, but either way, im sticken w/ the cherry bomb.

[gottafesty]

Nice exhaust tip. The car's looking good.

[91blufestiva]

Thanks Jeff.

I painted my VC yesterday.





And I put new headlights in, a cargo cover, just "sat-in" a full console, cuz I don't have the brackets quite yet.

[sasquatch]

whats that silver bracket on the top?

[batstiva]

You guys gotta quit posting these VC pics, you're just giving me more work to do.

Looks good, 91blue!
