    been real busy lately, remodeling our garage and finishing up school, i graduate from college on friday!!!!

    here is the festiva updates:
    took my radiator to a local shop and had them move my upper bung to the other side of the rad, away from my super hot ram horn header, check out the receipt and it in the car


    got my bumper reinforcement cut and my bumper cover cut and installed fits nicely around my srt4 intercooler

    moved my gauges to a dash mount, and got my wideband hooked up


    robbed these switches off a festiva at a junkyard, they dont have a function at the moment but i like the look


    i still have to get my cooling fan working, anyone know what the relay looks like or if there is something on the stock festiva rad i needed?????

    i have my car set at about 12lbs of boost and it pulls HARD, runs a little lean but we will get it all fixed up, Thanks everyone for looking and helping me out along the way

      Looking good. You may have a bad fan temp switch ( it's the large single wire sensor located in the thermostat housing) I hope this helps. Keep us posted

        i solved the cooling fan problem today, bought a toggle switch and wired it up, i think its pretty cool


        now i just need to richen up my air/fuel mixture a bit and the car should be ready to hit the track

        Does anyone know how to make your fuel mixture richer without, putting in new injectors, or a new fuel pressure regulator?

              Car is looking good!! I have the same gauge pod on my dash lol but mine doesnt have any gauges yet lol If you end up finding out you have bad injectors (for your lean issue) I have some B6T injectors laying around that are no good to me anymore

              If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                    Did a little work on the STIVA this weekend, finally installed my front strut bar, i dont have pics up yet but i have a new hks foam filter price was right at FREE!!! haha

                    did a little exhaust work and made a little cat delete pipe. played with my vacuum lines and idle and i got it driveable now, took it to work to today and took another painter out in it and he loved it, took my dad out after work and he nearly S*** his pants haha

                    i just ordered new axles, seals and moog control arms hopefully gonna have those by this weekend and then ill get it aligned at work next week,

                    Driving this beast gives me more motivation to work on it

                      • Lookin' good my fellow Washingtonian, I see you don't have rear defrost, I wouldn't be able to live without it in this foggy window prone NW climate, Also, what luck have you had, if any, with Covey's Auto Parts in Marysville, they supposedly specialize in Mazda stuff, but don't carry any festy parts

                          my festiva isnt my DD so i can live without the rear defrost and all the other fancy features, i dont even have a stereo in my car
                          i Live in Vancouver Washington, about as south in Washington as you can get, i have never even heard of covey's auto parts before
