DriverOne Festiva Build Pics

[DriverOne]

I'm proud to announce that today Bebandit and I have my car up on jacks and we are beginning the aspire swap that has taken so long to put together. Pics will come! Also, the amp/sub is in and going under the driver's seat. The stereo I wanted was discontinued, so I'll have to keep the one I've got now in it, and upgrade my speakers. Pics of that to come as well!

Hehe, it's actually a Coleman 12v cooler, but now that you mention it, it does look like an old HP!

blast....

A lot of fans for heat dissipation on computer motherboard use bearing, if it fails again might want to try to adapt one to the pelter device.
Maybe even use a small 12V PV panel to drive the fan(s).
PV to drive the pelter would be too big.

Oh, yeah, I have one of those!
Used about once.
Really need to make more use of it.

Be careful how much you use it. They're prone to fan failure and they'll quit without notice if you run it for days on end (trucker) due to the sleeve bearings, I guess... I tried to order from the company (in China) that makes the fan set, but they don't have exact specs or parts numbers. Eventually did an evil thing and exchanged the old one for that one at walmart.

Awesome, 1 for the clean look!

DriverOne, is that an unused HP computer sitting behind those milk cartons?

Oh, I'm considering painting the bumpers red & removing the side strip. Any thoughts?

I got tires! Toyo Proxes T1R's. 195/45 R14 @ treadepot.com for $336 shipped.


I swear I'm gonna get all giddy like a school-girl when these things get put together! Now time for the Mother's on the rims. Not on the gold, just the rim.
