My '91 Festiva L

[An Amish Woman]

For road noise suppression, I find carpet foam to work well. Under the carpeting, in the cavities behind the rear seat plastic, inside the rear seat bottom, and even on top of the headliner. My Festy is pretty quiet with this treatment, and I haven't even done the doors. It's ~$30 for a roll at the big-box hardware store, and it will basically do two cars.

You can also keep air noise from entering the engine bay, which helps. Cover the bumper opening and pass. side of the grill. Also useful in the winter, to get better heat.

I used the website alot when sound proofing my truck. Its moved more towards selling at this point but still tons of great info. No need to dynomat the whole car. Just use tiles on each panel. Its all on there and it great info.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

Amish, you need a Festiva shift knob.
Since green is the direct complement of red, you need a green grille.
Well , what do you know. I just happen to have one!

Well, I dunno about a shifter knob, since I've already got one.
A green grille would look nice with the red, especially since the holidays are coming up.
What else you got for sale? I see you're from Canada. I have no idea what international shipping is like

love that shifter knob? Where'd you source it from?

It's more of a hot rod site. They have some pretty cool stuff. I think their associated with another company, because I got sent a catalog called "Johny Law." It was free...can't complain with free

BK may be from Canada but he does all his US shipping from NY If I remember correctly.

Oh really?
What else you got for sale, BK?

[DrMaxwellEdison]

If I remember correctly he has a for sale thread on here somewhere, I'll look to see if I can find it for you.

Finally bought a Festiva! After about a year of looking.

It'll need a bit of work, but everything seems to be fairly easy to fix. It has a 5 speed manual and a few dents in the fenders and quarter panel. The dude I picked it up from said his wife hit someone the week before and broke out the head light. So, I need a new grille and the clip that holds on the radiator is kinda bent. It didn't hurt anything else though.

My plans are to make it into a nice show car. I'd really like to do a B6T swap, but I'm not sure yet. It kinda seems like it would be a chore, because I don't know anything about turbos.

Anyways, comments and suggestions are appreciated!

How many miles on it?

[An Amish Woman]

Not to many.
Well, compaired to the Focus anyway (234,600)

[DrMaxwellEdison]

I'd love to come up on one of those "barn finds" you always hear about..... Ah, someday

[DrMaxwellEdison]

Same here, but I doubt there are barns left to pick anymore

People must like others to bother them about something they have.
I know of 3 Festivas rotting away that I can't buy :'(

[DrMaxwellEdison]

I've got 2 I'd like to have on the road and a parts car I'd like to chop to pieces and scrap.... One of these days I'll get around to it

There's a sport just sitting beside the road. No more than half a mile from here. It just makes me so sad



Bought some goodies the other day. Pretty excited to get this project on the road. If it's not cold and snowy, it's cold and rainy!

This is a limited edition Stig keychain. It was kinda hard to find






A Wink 5 panel rally mirror and 2 reels of 5050 smd LED lights. (one reel not pictured) Colors red and super white
The brackets the mirror came with wont fit in the Festiva, the way it's intended. So I'll have to make some custom brackets. I'm really hoping it's going to work.

I sold this car last Thursday. Thread can be closed.
