B8-me swap in the works!

[BUSTIVA]

Finally popped a ringland on the turbo b3 setup, sad I never got an official track time out of her but oh well...here comes the B8! :p

Snatched this up from pullapart yesterday....



Pulled the Festiva into the garage...and about to get to work!



Lets see how this goes. Keeping it all stock and N/A at the moment. Will be doing a nice none home depot turbo setup in a few months lol. I feel bad ghettofying the Festiva lately and have decided to make it nice again.

Wish me luck!

Calling it quits for the night, b8-me is ready to drop back in, all accessories, mount, etc. switched over but I have terrible lighting, and decide to just wait for sunlight.

Thats sweet! What did you get the B8 out of exactly?
It sure looks clean!

[BUSTIVA]

The B8 came out of a 100k mile mint as can be 94 protege 5spd. Oil was still fresh and golden, unbelievably clean and maintained.

Keeper cool and that little jewel will last you!

^ I bet! I can't wait to get off work so I can get back to the Festiva! Gonna be a long day lol...

So when is the turbo going on again?

Knowing myself all too well, probably by next weekend lol. :p

But I want to make it as simple and hassle free as possible for the time being, have alot of other projects going on so the Festiva got promoted to daily status.

I love my b8......huge torque and good mpg if you drive right. I averaged 37 over 3200 miles once

[BUSTIVA]

About to go drop this motor in! :glasses2:

[BUSTIVA]

[Safety Guy]
