    Please post a vid of the engine running.
    I like no rust. I can look at that all day long. Nice.
    No a/c. This car never had a/c.
    I'll post a video soon. My gopro is locked up. I'll have to use my phone.

      Here is Pedro's completed b6d Capri conversion.
      Very, very nice as always. Those wheels look like the Japanese wheels I got on eBay except mine are 14"

      • Thanks! They are of Japanese origin, but came from a first generation Hyundai excel. They are 13x5 and fit like the original 12" wheels. The 155/65/13 tires are nearly identical in size to the 155/80-12 tires, but they seem to be constructed better.

        • Last night Ryal, Carolyn and I went to the Meet Rack for sandwiches and drinks. It's a great place to have a Festiva outing, since God's Festiva is usually out front.

              I'm not sure. I bought the car that way. I'm thinking it's probably 25% though. Still pretty easy to see things at night.

                  No, it's the duralast version of the Braille. It works just as well, but cost a third of the price.

                    • Depends on how they feel about common law, upheld by your constitution.. Oh and this..



                      And this

                      The lawyer who created the controversial method says he's just trying to prevent false arrests, but safe driving advocates think it sets a bad example.

                        • Phil ( my roommate) has a great defense. He drives his mega high hp street cars ( he's also got a 500awhp EVOX) like grandma on a Sunday morning. I have trouble with that tecnique, so I drive a Festiva. Lol.

                            • I helped, but had to use parts supplied by sponsors and I didn't tune it. We rushed to get it ready for UTGP and it showed. The car is reliable now, but it wasn't easy to tune the factory management for that setup. The last tune was done at Bluewater Performance in Denver CO. They seem to have gotten it right. It's scary fast. We'll have it out on the track again soon.
