Grm 2011 festiva build

[mikeycar500]

So I am going to try and build a festiva for the 2011 grassroots motorsports challenge. I started some of the body work yesterday and going to keep at it as long as it is warm out. The car is a 1993 festiva 5speed. I will have pic up as soon as I can. Still not sure what kind of motor I am going to put in the festiva but that will have to wait till a little later. If any one has any tips I could use all the help I can get.
Thanks
P.s here is a like to there site grassrootsmotorsports.com

[Damkid]

Or a KLZE swap :evil4::evil4:

[mikeycar500]

haaha i have the time but i have to do everything to the car and only spend $2011 total
but man would the klze be fun lol

[mikeycar500]

these are soe pic of the festiva i am going to use. it needs a little bodey work. only has 178000 on it.

[mikeycar500]

started stripping out the car and dad started on the body work he said the after a little more paint striping the rear is ready for bondo



and this is the frist festiva i have owed that i have not had to patch the floor in lol

That's about the same colour as my old green festiva!!

[mikeycar500]

you could do a KLDE for less than $2011

Just get a donor car for $300 like I did... and get resourceful with your parts.

I think the 2009 car was sold on here not that long ago.

[mikeycar500]

Ya I seen some of his. I wonder how he did. Going tomorrow to do some more body work.

[big_ty2003]

PM him. He might still be active and check in.

Is this bracket racing? It might be better to do like the stock auto tranny and a steaked BP. From what I understand the stock auto tranny is actually pretty robust.

[mikeycar500]

There are three diff kinds of racing in the grm and my car will have to do drag, autocross, and lap timing. I don't know what motor I am going with but it would prob be eather a b8, or a bp. I already have coilovers for it and the aspire swap and sway bar from the aspire I got over the summer.

[big_ty2003]

Yeah an auto would be pointless then. What coilovers do you have?

[mikeycar500]

It skunk 2 for a civic I used them this yearn my other festiva the work great
