Project "El Festivo" build thread

Yesterday I received in the mail my ECU and engine harness thanks to daniel_cogar.



I also stopped at the local junk yard and picked up the Aspire front and rear shock/strut assembly's. All I needed was the top mounting pieces as the ones on my Festiva are rusted beyond recognition. But the JY said I have to bUy the whole assembly.



After work last night I assembled my new struts and coilovers with the top mount. Not sure if this setup is going to work but I'm crossing my fingers it will.

New struts and coilovers look nice man. Good work.

Somewhere around 400lbs/in. They will let you catch air and beat you to death in no time flat. I had some on my Festy. Ditched them ASAP.

It was only $30. The ad said for a Honda prelude/Accord. If I don't like them that bad, I have a friend with a Prelude. If he wants em he can have them. But my Festy is not a daily driver. This is a for fun car, to go as low as possible. I have the factory springs and the Aspire springs I can use if it come down to it.

So a set of these just showed up on my local CL...they have 185/60r14 tires on them. Would these fit? I noticed in your pics there looks like there is still some room there for more tire, but I can't tell if your car is jacked up some or not. Do you think those tires would fit? And is 375 for the set a good deal? Tires are 8/32 - 6/32 tread.
