1993 Festiva, Project Mr. Peppy

[fastivaca]

Made some more progress this weekend, assembled the front suspension, and pressure washed engine bay. Car rides not bad with 2 1/2 coils cut and has a nice ride height in the front. Removed airfilter box, valve cover and related components. Does anyone know where i can pick up a thottle body gasket locally in Calgary?

I probably have one you can have. PM me.

Since there is no gasoline going thru the TB, you could just silicon it or copper-coat it as the seal.

Yeah its pretty scenic indeed!

I ran a 165/65/13 for a while and they worked pretty good. Shows 4 in Edmonton and 4 in Vernon and also 2 in Saskatoon.

Look forward to meeting you at Westiva!

Ill have to call on monday and see about those westlakes, i want to have my wheels on for westiva! Oh and leapin i was just in whiterock 2 weeks ago for the first time, such a beautiful area!

I see Trican has a cheapy Westlake SP06 in a 165/65R13 that could fit the bill.

Part # 33886

About $40 per.

I had bad news from the tire shop today, trican can only find 3 tires but theyre inventory shows 4 in the warehouse and they searched high low across canada to find more but no luck! They wont be able to get another tire for a minimum of a month! It seems like 13inch tires that fit a festiva are impossible to find!

Yes i know its ghetto, cant afford proper suspension at the moment and this is the only way to get the stance i want for now. Its all about appearance before performance lol.

CHOPPED SPRINGS
I thought I'd seen the last of that on honda-tech
Looking good though!

Tonight i removed the drivers side strut assembly and cleaned and painted the fender well, going to chop the spring tomorrow and reassemble this weekend.

Wow! Good score on the Visa card and $20 found inside. That's awesome!

[dcoultis]

Lol thats a good idea sketchman, would be sweet! It is unfortunate its an auto trans car but atleast my fiance can drive the car this summer while i collect 5 speed parts. Next winter the plan will be 5speed and b6 swap. Have to start selling and trading my hoard of crap on kijiji to fund the project further, for now iam content with my progress and the car itself!
