That's how festivas are...the coil is separate from the dist.

the oil feed line was a fun install, next week we will be finishing up the oil pan and putting the performance cam in nerdracing will be assisting us with that. i will be doing the intercooler piping and some other odds and ends with hooking up the coolent lines and oil return line from the turbo and what not... stay tuned for more pics!

Would you have any other performance cams at all?

I looked up which was the positive and negative in the haynes manual. I don't remember anymore which was which but it wasn't hard to figure out.

nope, I got rid of it a while a go.

The transmission came the other day so I did some work yesterday. I had to cut the old exhaust out because the shop I took it to made it a one piece for whatever reason.
It's just held in there by the hoist right now.

I haven't done the research I need to apparently about the crank pulley. The BP is from a 94 and my festiva is a 92, when I went to switch the pulley it was loose with the bolt all the way on. Do I need a different pulley or use the original bp pulley?
BP pulley, the motor was already in the car so I didn't get a pic of it.

Tranny looks good in there!

Check arrived yesterday, sry I forgot to text yoy and let you know.

When you figure out what you need reguarding pullies let me know, I may have some options for you laying around. I can grab something from the junkyard also, my BP collection is growing:highly_amused:

Not much getting done here due to work. I bought the cross member that shorestiva had for sale and it arrived yesterday

It was for a cable g series but I have a hydro so the mounts were a little different. The back I had to cut one of the brackets to go around a bolt. The front were too short and the hole didn't line up to bolt the brackets together to the cross member. So the trans is partially in the car.

extended studs/open ended lugs and 5mm spacers on all four corners.

Rokkor coilovers and 01 Rio strut mounts

Installed

got the flywheel from festevil and I'm waiting to get that back from being resurfaced

bought a gtx intake manifold and egt maf

Nerdracing came by today and helped. Made the shift linkage adjustable with a 5/8 rod and added some brass shifter bushings .

We also started to get an idea on a forth mount.

this build is starting to look good! liking the progression of the car, Its really evident you're learning lots from the car, build quality is going up!

[FastOrBust]

Thanks, I almost want to start a new build thread to get away from the turbo build. I'm much happier with the way the car is coming out now.

[Festevil3]

The car is looking good, how did you coilover install go? Did you have to mod anything to get them to fit?

[zoom zoom]

looks good, have you plugged in your axels to make sure the transmission is where it needs to be left-right?
