Perfect tires for a Festiva! heheh What size are they anyhow? The Focus tires, that is.

^SWEET! lol. Hows the festy running/handling since the motor rebuild and new tires/springs? I got a full set of springs for U and 2 front struts(rears are bad).
My newest festy is parked till I can "do it right" lol. I got BIG plans for it
As for the motor I got for U, its a standard adjustable type head on it(not what U want)

Hey, I just wanted to say that your ford focus is absolutely amazing! You have done a great job on it! When you are done with the focus you should build up the festiva!

I Like Your Cars. You Look Like You Do Some Pretty Decent Work. I Will Be Following This Thread, And I Cant Wait To See What You Can Extract From A Stock Block B3. Kudo's On Your Work Though.

thanks guys. the focus tires are 275/40 17's in the back and 215/45 17's in the front.

plans for this festiva is something as reliable as possible and super good milage. maybe be turbo may be not. havent decided. when i get the focus done i would like to get another festiva and do a zetec swap.

the handleing is like a go cart. i put rubber on top the springs, greased the strut bearing, and put limit straps on it. still needs more shock for those springs. probably going to put another set on it off my mustang rearend lol

awesome! festivas are so universal you can use almost any kinda shock in the back. a mustang shock would be great because they are heavy and prob can handle a big heavier of a spring!

holy crap, that focus is awesome!!

[gestiva]

^Holy Sheit!!!! Looks awesome!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

I want to be there when U finally get it done! lol.


So... When U want me to bring my Hubs over for bearings? lol. Mine on the new festy are sounding rough. I got 4 hubs and 4 sets of bearings, I can Help, lol. and pay! lol

I read that whole build thread on that beast and i'm impressed with the work done on that focus :thumbright:

[tls_zx3]

i have decided to do a bp swap on my festiva. i just like the way they drive to much not to and im only getting 37max mix driving with the b3.

so i have done some work to it recently to make the car deserving of a bp lol. new front struts, lower control arms with swap bar bushings, inner and outer tie rods. and put a rear strut brace on the car that i used to have on the focus. also painted the hood, grill, cowl, top, and hatch semi gloss black b/c all my clear was flaking off. restored the black on the bumpers. removed that horrible factory tint too. i think that is all

will be starting with a bp (possibly rebuild it) with stock trans and clutch. when something fails, cv/clutch/or trans itself then i will switch to a stronger trans.

[Damkid]

Sweet! You'll be happy with a BP for sure, very easy swap

How's the focus coming along? I haven't checked your thread in a while lol

[timmay89]

I almost feel that with the amount of work that you did with the focus, the BP swap will be too easy for you. You might have to turbo it once it's running.

Exciting to see you back on the project.
