i brought my grill home from school yesterday, and i put it on today its looking sexy



i just finished another little project on the stiva, i shaved the lock off the fuel door and i took the cable poppers i had in the mazda so now my fuel door is cable operated, i plan on doing the same thing to the rear hatch

test drove the festiva with open downpipe yesterday

had some major tire rubbing issues the first and second time, by the third time i had the car high enough, no more rubbing issues

mazda went bye bye this weekend too

i started getting rid of things i dont need, and i got my exhaust installed today

when i test drove the car today, it pulls really hard up till about 10lbs which is about 4500-5000 rpms, then the car just kinda cuts out, idk if its fuel or boost or what any ideas??? (btw i have reich racing ecu)

Mazda going bye bye

Stuff i dont need

new ride height

Congrats again. I know you have a nice exhaust on it made up but why does it still sound like aspire heat shield rattling in the video?

probably because i have an open downpipe in the video and my exhaust is laying under the car haha, lots of work to do on the car this week if i wanna take it for a test spin this weekend

Today my uncle came over, he is a ford master tech, of course it was raining all day, but we were determined to get my festiva running today, after 4 long hours in the rain we found the problem.

As with wiring it was something simple, someone had been in the wiring before and a couple of the dist. wires going to the connector were severed.

a Few soldered wires later the fastiva was born.

here is a video for your pleasure

are those the ksports for the 323 gt? what did you pay?

I think they were for a vw jetta, i bought them used front Bustiva, for $450 shipped, not a bad deal

i still haven't got the car running yet,

but i figured if my car doesn't work it should look good, so i put on my new wheels and tires and my Ksport coilovers i bought from BUSTIVA

[KB Motors]

so i wired up the coil (correctly) today and i cut open the knock box connection and found the webbing stuff, i grounded that, and i got nothing, i used a remote start to turn the engine over but i got no spark and no power to the ignition coil. and when i turn the key nothing at all happens

im thinking i did something wrong under the dash, i followed chris's write up, i guess im gonna take it apart and double check everything and see what happens.

if anyone has any input i would love to here it, many thanks

You splice two wires from the green connector into the stock Festiva coil wires and use the Capri coil.

I had a problem with no spark for the longest time, and this was my solution:

Here is the wiring for the coil:

Thanks man,
i have the coil wiring all figured out, i get what your talking about with knock box, but have no idea whats going on in that picture you took of it. Any chance you could explain to me whats going on.

the chris rummel write-up is basically useless for the 323 harness, they are very different

Thanks man, it still needs a little work but its getting there.

and on a sad note i was finishing up my b6t swap today plugged everything in put the fluids in turn the key and nothing.

I used a 323 gt harness so its a little different than the capri.

I have power to the starter and the festiva fuse block but none to the coil pack.(im confused on the coil, do you use the festiva harness to the coil or the b6t harness to the coil) So if someone could help me out i would be forever grateful, Thanks
