What a sweet looking Festiva!

[Nerd Racing]

Just bought a house with a garage which means I'll finally be able to start working on my Festivas again. Here's the first wash of the season, I'll get my garage pics up once I get it organized a bit more.

Car is looking good as usual man! Still thinking of replacing that hood eventually?

Been really busy getting the Festiva I got from shadetree on the road putting in a newer used exedy clutch and slapping on some clear front lights and modded grill.







Spent a morning organizing most of the bolts, screws and other bits and pieces that I have.





All of this forward progress has to end somewhere. Brad came to visit.



Didn't even back up two feet. Got it inside to assess the situation.









After careful examination it appears as though the roll pin on the diff pin sheared and sent it flying. Looks like I'm gonna be putting in my G series in a lot sooner than I had planned.

(aside from the obvious trans failure)

I cant seem to find a smilie that indicates jelousy

Finally started to assemble my BP26 parts and get my engine off the garage floor, then onto the stand. It's hard to get motivated when working 10-12 hour days 7 days a week, but I'm getting there. I think I'm going to go Megasquirt because I'm uncertain about what I'm missing from the BPT setup I got from Iceracerdude.

Looks good Donny. Don't give up, I know the feeling about having little motivation after a 65 hour work week.

Slowly but surely it will be done, never give up!

[jjk1224]

Oh, we will get you motivated! I also agree that MS is the way to go, you will have much more freedom in the long run.

[bhazard]

You're really gonna be unmotivated when winter comes and its like -10 in your uninsulated and unheated garage.

Warmer weather means I'm back in the garage! Replaced the water pump and timing belt with tensioner and idler bearing. Just put on the turbo and and working out the oil and coolant lines. For the oil return I think I'm just going to tap the oil pan 1/2"-14 NPT. Ordered a banjo bolt for the oil feed, and may need some help with the coolant lines. Here's what I've got so far.



I ordered a Felpro exhaust manifold and it is all metal. Is there a better choice for my application? The one I took off looked like graphite.

Thanks,
Donny

[M3NTAL]

Donny I've got a ms2 PNP for your BP I'll sell you for this setup (brand new)

I'm going to use a Haltech instead. PM me if your interested.

Did you ever install that resonator?
Did it make a big or a little difference?
How about an mp3?
