Ian's B6T Festiva build

[fastivaca]

Had an hour or so to work on the car so i got the emissions relays mounted up. The 323 bracket had the same hole spacing as the Festiva one so it looks like it was meant to be there! Just a couple of vacuum hoses to run and that will be another thing off the list.



I got the heater hoses all figured out as well.

Nice work! You will want to remove that overboost switch.

Which one is the overbooked switch?

[Advancedynamix]

The round one clipped into the holder toward the passenger side. It's a normally opened switch that closes around 12psi and cuts ignition. If you just unplug it you can run more boost without the ignition cutting out.

What do you think of these wheels for the project car? Imagine them all cleaned up a painted white. Not sure what make they are or if there are center caps available. 14'x5˝" or 6" with the correct bolt pattern. I'd just have to double check on the center bore size. Now that I think about it they look like Toyota wheels.

Got quite a bit done today.

- emissions hoses all figured out and hooked up
- vac line to brake booster made and installed
- slim fab installed. Had to order new mounting kit as the one that came with it was garbage.
- VAF meter bracket all fabbed up. Painted it after I took the pictures
- relocated the A/C relays to give me some more room for the air filter.
- lower rad hose fabbed up. Used two stock Festiva hoses joined with 1" copper plumbing pipe. Lots of clamps so we'll see how this works.









I painted the 121 grille yesterday but forgot to take a photo. I'll be working on the car again tomorrow so watch for more updates.

Love the intake support bracket, Ian

I think I would look into moving the battery though.

Just wondering what your thoughts are in this.

Thanks Jed!

Finished VAF meter bracket. There's also a little brace that goes from the outlet side of the VAF to the battery hold down.


With the coil and VAF mounted...

Hey Ian, I don't know how much use you have for 13" winters but apparently the Leduc Cambodian Tyrant has 155/80 iPikes on for $10 apiece (if there's any left anyway).

Thanks Tom. I'm good on winters. Recently grabbed a set of four studded I-Pikes on rims for $60!
