DriverOne Festiva Build Pics

[DriverOne]

Went to the junkyard and yanked the Aspire swap. While I was there, I got a set of these! Enkei rims from a Toyota Corolla! So, I did a mock-up. What does everyone think? I got a few replies, but I thought I'd post here 'cause I have been, so, here it is!

Hitch & Trailer kit comes via my tax returns, whenever I get them. They wanted $3K for that trailer, which I dunno maybe a good price, but I don't have $3K yet, and I refuse to make payments (so someone else will get a good deal when I hiccup). There are going to be a few changes to the car ASAP. I was going to max it out and kit it up with a full BPT swap like crazy, but you know, it's an 88 LX. It serves me well as it is. I need a shell for my superstiva. The 88 will be a road trip/meet car, and my DD. I'll be stripping it down, sandblasting it, installing new carpeting and a new headliner, and if I can find someone to do it, recover my door panels. Infinity speakers in stock locale, rugged CD player (orange light up!) lo-pro sub under the driver's seat, and an entire-body respray in Corvette high-gloss red. Aspire swap too, and just before I rebuild the motor (P&P, B&B, decking...) I'm tossing a set of 1997 Toyota Corolla 14x6 gold/polished aluminum Enkei mesh rims on there, with whatever tires fit. I'll see if I can find a pic.

THANK YOU for mentiong the horn.. I was thinking of changing mine out, but didn't know if they needed some kind of grounding or something different than standard.

Looks like they're the same as almost everything else, which is good for me.

Car is looking decent, and I like the trailer.. do you have a hitch and trailer kit on the car already?

You will get more respect now. I put duel horns from a Full size Buick last year on my 89 Festiva, makes a big difference, especially to the drunk, foreign jaywalkers around here.

Dual horn? your going to make everyone around you jump out of their car seats! lol

[DriverOne]

Dual horns to be installed today. They're from a 93 Ford Explorer.

Actually it's about a 6x6x6 cubby, not sure what it's useful for other than a junk storage. I thought about installing a 6" video monitor in mine in the '90s.
My '91 had it, are they not standard in all?

Subwoofer. 6" sub.

They were talking about the very small cubby hole to the left of the cd player, not the center console cubby

I Installed mine with 3M dual side Trim tape behind them so hey stick to the rubber & i haven't had a problem, nice pedals you got there.

[DriverOne]

Someone put those kind of bolt on pedals on my Nissan Pickup, and they kept coming unscrewed, I'd be driving down the road and hit the brake and the pedal would slide around.

i tried driving a car with those on there and i hit the gas and my foot got caught on top of the gas pedal cause one of my shoe laces got caught on the screw holding the break one on... not cool

I'll be using my own brackets to put them on. They started to slip on my RIP Aspire too, and I decided to build something behind them that held them in place, like a back plate with tabs on it and use lock washers and better bolts. I'm going to have my own pedals machined, but that's $$$$$$$$$$ so until then, a quick upgrade.
