My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

[Damkid]

So there's been a screw up with shipping and the MS made it to Singapore and back and now it's on it's way to me, again

And I've ordered a wideband


I was talking with a buddy of mine and if I can get my Festiva up and going by the 19th, I can get a free dyno run

[Maxtiva]

I HIGHLY recommend the Toyo Proxes T1R's for that. They get sticky FAST.

I've got them on my Stiva and they are very good and they stick very well

nitrous is like having a piggy bank in your car... each time you push the button, you have to make a payment... but in this case you cant open the bottom and get your money out when you want...

Blown tranny

[Damkid]

That's actually the tire I was considering buying

^^spring time is when it hits the track again

Well I figure i won't use the nitrous until 2nd or 3rd gear anyway, it's mainly for the last half of the track when I'll have solid traction lol

I only plan on running 10psi at first and a decent set of tires, most likely some sort of street drag radials, and go from there

You are going to by FLYING down that track! When are you planning on going to the tracks? Next spring, or before then?

Well, I have 250lb coilovers in the back on AGX's and turned all the way up I cant push down on the car. Even with the 205's 1st and 2nd are pretty much useless. And you have like 8 more cylindaz, nawz, squirtin, etc...

[Damkid]

Thats what you think!

Dude, my suspension is dampening adjustable as well as coil-overs, so i can stiffen up the ride quite nicely if i choose to, so with the suspension being good, what else can you suggest for traction besides tires to replace the old weather cracked POS ones i had on at FM5??

Is this turbo up and running at a decent amount of boost, or is that another project that still needs to be finished?

Umm the megasquirt is to run the turbo, once the P5 is out of the garage (which should be in a week or two) then the festiva gets all the attention

All i need is decent tires

All this power, have you made any progress towards controlling the wheel spin yet?
