1993 Festiva, Project Mr. Peppy

[dcoultis]

Iam not sure what supplier my buddy ordered them through but i know he does use trican, the tires are coming in from edmonton. Final bill for the tires is $273.00 with tax! So far i payed $200.00 for the car, found a $50.00 pre paid un-opened visa and a $20.00 bill inside, paid $60.00 for the wheels, and $273.00 for the tires. I have $463.00 total into the car and parts so far

Haha. Yes, blue and pink. How about a ticked off Hello Kitty decal somewhere too?

Not making fun, BTW. Serious.

Nice score laddy. Darn that I see that it's an auto, but that can be rectified. The 5 speeds are zippy even with OEM B3s in them.

[sketchman]

Found one.

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!

[Prafeston]

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

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.

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

[dcoultis]

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.

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!

Welcome to the real world of owning a 20+ year old econobox!

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

Part # 33886

About $40 per.

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!

[leapin]

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!
