Project "El Festivo" build thread

That tire is 1.18" wider and 2" taller that what I have. I wouldn't say my car is "jacked" up, however it has no motor or interior in it, so it is sitting slightly higher than a normal Festiva. With that aid, I couldn't tell you if those tires will fit or not because this is my first Festiva and I am building it as a go, asking questions as needed. You'd be better off searching for the response or asking another, more informed, member. As far as the price, I paid $550 for everything brand new. $288 for the rims w/ free shipping and about $60 per tire, shipped. So depending on the condition of the rims and tires, I'd say that $375 is not a bad price. And of course you can always try n haggle with the guy to get the price down.

Thanks for the input. Did the stock lug bolts work fine?

[gurry624]

Yea, they worked, but when I do the Aspire swap, I am converting to lug nuts and studs

Thanks.

So I started doin some work on the Festy today. Mostly just parts swapping. From the green Festy I bought during the week. We swapped over the the door closing mechanism and strikers for the passé get door and the rear hatch. Swapped the tai lights over cause my red Festy had none of that. We completely gutted the interior of the green Festy and tomorrow we are probably gonna swap over the e-brake cable, front passenger fender, the shifter assembly and linkage. And possibly do the aspire rear swap, front to come later.

Here is a full side pic of red with the new wheels.....



And here is a pic with taillights added....

Slammed the Festy with new shocks with coil over setup from a 3rd Gen Honda Prelude



Bought the short throw shifter for a '00 Civic ( the $10 mod) cost me $6 off eBay.

Daytime pics are better...

Is this going to be a roadster with a bed? Got a mockup with the roll cage?

[Prafeston]

...yeah, are you not keeping the roof above the seats? If you cut the whole top off it wouldn't be an El Festivo.
