My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

[Damkid]

I'm going to try and bring it to Ohiostiva but i dont know if i'll get enough driving time in to trust it going that far from home

But on that note, i've probably put about 100kms (60 miles) on it now and so far so good, this thing has LOTS of power, i was following someone down a back road today that was doing 80 km/h (50mph) and i kept it in 5th gear and blew passed the guy like he was standing still, i can't wait til the track to see what this thing can really do

I just fired mine up today for the guy who sold me the 626 donor parts. I need one solid weekend without other projects and I'll be ready for testing. if you don't make it to Ohiostiva we should meet up in Buffalo some time at a cruise night or something. It would be kinda cool.

^^Sure man we'll definately meet up if i don't make it to Ohiostiva

Here's a better driving video i took today.... first gear truely is useless in my car as you will hear in the video :lol:

Need a taller diff gear, take advantage of the torque its got.

Looking forward to seeing it .

I don't mind the short diff gearing it has for now since its still naturally aspirated, i will be building a transmission with an Mfactory diff and different internals for a better final drive and i will use the tranny for when i do a boosted build

Thanks Doug, it really is a blast to drive a festiva with torque :lol: if i don't make it to Ohiostiva i will make it to a mid-summer meet

Excuse me....this is NOT an option!!

[Oren09]

I'm assuming that's in km/h?
What's it translate to for mp/h? I cant see the little numbers in the video

Still pretty good acceleration, though

100kph is approx 62mph, 160kph is 100mph. Its quick.

Thanks, 92festie and bhazard.
Outrageous power to weight ratio in that car... lol.

[Damkid]

Excuse me....this is NOT an option!!

I'm doing my best, but it really looks scetchy if i'll make it or not, i really do want to make it to the meet so i'll be pissed if i can't make it

Thanks, 92festie and bhazard.

You can say that again :lol:

[Safety Guy]

^^Yes but if my passport doesn't get to me in time i can't cross the border, thats the problem, i've had to hold off til last minute to apply for it since the money was needed for other priorities, so if my passports are in on time, i will be there, most likely in my festiva
