Aaron's Festiva Build Thread

[Aaronbrook37]

Does it help with road noise????

Mostly tire noise, but yes, I did notice an improvement particularly on smoother roads and at speed. In other cars, the tires are very audible at highway speeds... but I can barely hear mine at all. It's hard to tell in the city mostly because my suspension is pretty firm (175lbs 8" F / 150lbs 8" R) and it gets bouncy/rattly. I may do a second coat pretty soon just because the gallon cans are large and the stuff doesn't weigh all that much.

Finally got my GL Sport Interior installed! I've been hunting down this stuff for over two years, and thanks to Dan and Ian, I'm finally hooked up!


We had to change valve covers because of some massive cracks and oil leaks. I like the silver aluminum look though... it's very sleeper style.


Product of Germany... no MPH whatsoever. Good thing my math skills are decent for miles conversions.





New 2.5" cat-back with high flow cat, resonator, and sleeper-style muffler!


Check out how big that puppy is hahaha. So quiet when cruising, I love it!

hey aaron what rad r u using in your car and if u spend any amount of time under boost does your car over heat thanks

[Aaronbrook37]

Stock Festiva automatic brand new. Thermostat, hoses, coolant, and such are all new too. It doesn't have any heat transfer issues... but I have a slim fan installed on the front to help in the city and such. Dunno if that has anything to do with it, probably though. On the highway, it runs much cooler than the city of course.

Can't wait to see this car in person!

It runs quite well... even though the turbo is pretty much toast. There will be a Walbro 255 and a VJ11 being installed mid-next-week to fix those issues though, along with a Corksport Chipped ECU to keep the fuel going to 16psi once I get some gauges and a boost controller. THEN it will be as fast as it looks haha.

Well you're missing a couple PSI yourself, now aren't you, Chris?

Soon enough, bud! I'll be in town for wheels and tires sooner rather than later, that's for sure.

Add me to that list. I'll probably have to wait until July though.

Id kill for that cluster, I'm a Canadian... eh... that would be perfect for me SELL NAO!

[fastivaca]

Then you'll like this one.... I've got something that goes faster than Aaron's....



I think my cluster is from the Philippines... no mph... and goes up to 180kph (which converts to 112mph). The odometer is now pushing 360000km!

So get that turbo on there and we'll see just how fast you can really go!

Patience grasshopper....


Sent from somewhere west of here!

[Aaronbrook37]

VJ11 received in the mail along with my new Walbro 255LPH. These will be going in with the Corksport ECU probably Tuesday or Wednesday. After that, it'll be new tires, wheels, and some gauges before we crank up to 16psi and 200WHP!
