My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

Cut out the spare tire location, flip it over, weld it back in place, surround the inverted cover with a frame to raise the hatch floor, drop your carpet back down, and you have a LOT of room for the turbo setup, and room for maybe a 2nd oil pump to keep oil from pooling in the turbo. Oh, and take the spare, put a Walmart clock in the middle, hang it on your wall, and you now have one of the coolest, ugliest wall decorations in your house. :-D

lmao :laughing3: hahaha thats frikin hilarious

The wiring so close to the strut tower concerns me. That's an incredibly high traffic area for such sensitive wiring. Is there any way you can extend that wiring to at least go over the tire area? I mean, debris, rocks... Even if you blow a tire, it could be catastrophic.

Finished welding the passenger side rad pipe tonight, i'll be grinding down the welds tomorrow and cleaning it all up nice for paint



I also picked up a nice shiny intake pipe that i'll be putting on tomorrwo so i can let it run longer for a better video

I need to tear my interior out as soon as I get mine running, so I can start on some rust repair and I want to bedliner coat the floors and up the pillars and strut towers.

:lol: thanks tony, nothing new yet, i've been trying to spend some time making the hydro to cable clutch adapters, although tonight i did put the carpet back in my car as a start to putting the interior back together

does the vac hose nipple thread into the manifold? if not maybe you could thread it with some npt threads and get a 90 degree fitting in there with a hose barb on it.

i was thinking something along those lines, i don't like how it is right now so i will see about getting an elbow to put in there
