My 93 Festiva 2nd life

[falkenfighter]

Got the brakes bled, toe is still off slightly, drove it and it feels weak. Like anything above 65 is a struggle. Only feels weak cruising. Im thinking the timing needs adjusted a bit. I put in a new distributor o ring and i think the timings off a bit. Runs smooth though.

Westiva in July?

So the future plans are to do the timing belt and water pump and get it ready for a large road trip. I've never been west of Denver and plan on seeing the west from behind the wheel of my little beater.

Westiva in July? I say go for it! Topeka KS to Wedge Pond, the venue for Westiva, is 1600 miles according to the Google! We're definitely west of Denver, and just a bit north

Today should be fun, got it kinda lined up but im just gonna pay to have it aligned... Im a tightwad

But the fun part is im taking it to a Ford dealer lol

Im betting that they will look at it and say we cant align it then ill tell em to loom underneath and see all the new parts. Lolz will be had

Then im gonna haggle em

And btw the dealer is the cheapest alignment around

Well havent updated this in awhile because honestly I havent driven the car at all the past couple months. I was driving it back and forth to work then after work one night I replaced a wheel bearing and something went wrong or the bearing was bad, but anyway it locked up on me. After sitting a bit I was able to limp it down the road till the wheel was about to fall off. Junkyard yielded me with a new spindle since the old one was ruined but the other side still needs to be replaced and im spooked about doing it. So the car has sat. I decided to start it yesterday and it fired right up with no drama whatsoever. I then drove it a couple miles and thought to myself that I need to get that bearing taken care of so I can drive this thing again.
