OverKILL!

These cars push themselves around by the front lower radiator support. They apply all driving TQ directly through the sway bar, and into the very front of the chassis. If this area is allowed to flex, it twists the body of the car and causes the cracking up by the firewall and shock towers that was common on high HP Festivas before the lower radiator support mod. All that twisting will cause TQ steer issues.
Also, if your sway bar is bent, or your sway bar bushings are in bad shape, you'll have TQ steer even with a B3 automatic.

Maybe the huge compressor is sucking so much air that it's pulling the car off the road? Lol

O dude when i look down the front i can tell the stock support has had it. You can see that the center section is not straight. I would guess from all the TQ that it has seen its shot. I will be doing the core support very soon.

When you let off its like your inside that dame turbo! Its crazy loud. I love it. It makes people look over at me like WTF did i just get myself into? Its so nice.

I thought my audi had a nice diverter sound but this car has it beat ten fold. Videos soon/ once i can drive it...

What is the purpose? What does this do?

It's called a waste spark system, and it was intended to help with emissions as it fires on the compression stroke AND the exhaust stroke to ensure all fuel is burnt. The odd bit of this system is that it will wear the electrode on one plug and the ground strap on the other in the direction of the current flow.

exhaust for days!



the trans is touching! it reallt needs a bit of hammer work.


side shot again



front lower mount best i could get


side mount

Meh, just rub some grease on the frame. Probly safer than bashing it

I think im going to swap the suspension over from lucifer. I think that will help the torque steer a ton. The honda coilovers are huge and suck. With the car i the air the spring can flop around with 0 tension. It needs changed.

[mikemounlio]

So i have found a few issues with overkill.

1. The wheel alignment must be off. Out of nowhere the wheels jup to the other side as if the other tire is now pulling straight. So bad alignment!

2. the coilovers on it are junk! They are massive. Even at the tip top of the adjustment they still have 0 preload on the spring. no way they will ever wouk out! will need to replace soon.

3. all the bushings look brand new except for the sway bar bushing at the frame. They are dry rotted.

It's also not optimal for turbocharged engines as it drastically increases the chances of burned pistons and exhaust valves. Sequential spark is the best way to keep a turbocharged engine from destruction.

Your bad wheel alignment may be due to the front rad support being distorted and pushed ahead. Those sway bar bushings would allow extra movement and more torque steer as well. Time for urethane ones from the festiva store!

Mike, does it have eBay Honda coilover sleeves on stock struts?
The engine looks nice and parallel, but should be positioned further towards the drivers side if you want to be able to run more than 2 degrees of neg camber (and believe me, you do).
The engine needs to be further forward.

This thing is going to be a blast when you get it to behave.

Might need to get some mounts made by shadetree. and call that issue done. Gonna need the sway bar bushings as well! The front core support will help out a ton as well. All in time tho.

[mikemounlio]

It looks like coilover sleeves. Either way they are to lose. I will replace with my suspension from Lucifer. Then will make another kit for Lucifer.

I think it's a good plan to keep the engine in this car and just dial it in. As long as the chassis isn't twisted or rusty or something. Who wouldn't want a B6t show car and a BPT monster? Lol.
