Pedro the Festiva's build thread.

[SiliconSoul]

I don't comment enough about your build qualities and shared ideas man... That is just all around sick!

No, I find the Aspire housing works better with the 16v head. My housing came from an OBD2 Aspire head so I had to drill and tap the hole for the fan switch.

My upper radiator hose is actually a Festiva lower hose cut to fit. This all clears my Capri airbox without any rubbing. Easy parts replacement and OEM fit and finish.

Thanks for that Charlie. Back to PnP I go!

Subscribed. My build could use the kind of attention to detail that you put into yours, Charlie, and as such I think I'll slow it down a bit and really put the micrometer into play.

Thanks Dustin! This swap is taking way longer than I anticipated, but it'll be worth it when Pedro is back on the road again.

Ha! Maybe I should have named the car Ron J.

very nice build.

Thanks!

Thank you! I've used a few of your ideas too. Your write up made my dash removal a breeze.

Thanks for that Charlie. Back to PnP I go!
Your always welcome Ian. Your local PNP should send me a kick back, haha. I've got you going back like once a week now.

There's a Festiva that comes to mind in this moment that I'd post if it weren't the only NSFW Festiva I've seen... Think, 'Idiocracy'.

[Advancedynamix]

There's a Yellow one at Dragonhealers place that is both engine bay porn and NSFW. Lol. He needs to post pictures of that B3. It's a museum piece.

Here's a little more progress. The engine harness is almost done and I used an old Festy engine plug under the dash to make this harness completely removable in 20 minutes.
The ECU in the picture is still good, but Shadetree found me a nice one that doesn't look like someone poured acid all over it. I used this one for mock up though. This will be my spare, and I'd like to see if Rocketman can burn a chip for it. It's essentially the same ECU as the B6t, just with no knock control or overboost protection. The chip should be very similar.

NSFW?

Advancedynamix is my hero (beside some other guys on FF.com) and inspiration, so cool and clean what your are doing; no *** kissing here.

Simply good work.

Haha, thanks! Your build is an inspiration to me, and I want one of those extra strong G transaxles like that one you've got.

"extra strong G transaxles"

As you said some weeks ago "the prove is in the pudding".


"Your build is an inspiration to me"

You need the "american express platinum card" to pay the bills coming from the towing company if you think my build is an inspiration for you.

JB-weld ftw.

[bhazard]

JB weld...if its good enough for the Germans...

[sasquatch]

just went through the whole build, very nice and clean keep it up!!!

[Advancedynamix]

Thanks Mike! It's good to see you back! I was just watching Zippy's first start video the other day and I thought, "I wonder how Mike is doing these days." haha.
