Official: Fastest Festiva's "PROOF" thread

[MEXTIVA]

Oh, didn't know the guy i bought it from was on this board. I got Turbostive's car. Going to see if i can actually get it to hook and see if i can get it at least in the low 12's and hopefully in the 11's.

congrats, you have one of the festest festiva on this board!!!

Hello. I'm new to this forum. Just bought a B6T Festiva. Car has run a 12.77@109 mph with the 20 shot of nitrous (not on there anymore) and slicks. I've only had it to the track once since i bought it, and best i could manage in street trim was a very traction limited 14.22@104, on street tires, with the front suspension limiters off (so my camber was going crazy in first and second when the nose comes up, hence my horrible 2.5/2.6sec 60ft. times), and no nitrous. next week going to try with the limiters and slicks back on. Car is a 92 gl, Capri B6T swap, 323GT G25MR, ACT 4-puck clutch, Corksport ECU, 2.75 in. mandrell dp, 2.5 in. mandrel muffler shop exhaust with nice quiet gibson muffler and electric cutout, stock sidemount IC, rebuilt stock turbo, packing strap front suspension limiters, and 15 in. lancer OZ rally 5-spoke wheels. Future plans include tein coilovers, aspire rear suspension (for the swaybar), get the front mount on, and maybe a GT28RS. For the most part just enjoying it as a daily driver. Street kills so far include a 2002 golf GTi, a stock C5 Vette, and an SRT4 with light mods.

Mods: Reich Racing ECU (running rich, as you can tell), no intercooler, no boost controller, no fueling increases (aside from Reich ECU), VJ11 turbo. I was running without an intercooler... I wonder what I would have put down if the turbo outlet didn't go directly into the throttle body...

well i have been drag racing my festiva for the last 3 years.. and i have had 2 different ones.. if there was another that was drivin around i would know ..

[woodson]

you may have, but i doubt it. my festiva is still bone stock. ive ran a bunch of other cars though. i will start to build my car for autox this next year. there are a couple of guys that have festivas, i just havent met any of them yet. ithink they've all done swaps and primarily do drag.

and did i mention this was at 4200 feet above sea level

Nice run,
Look's like we are all having problems with our cars when hitting the strip.When Mextiva runed the 12.7 my shift linkage bushing was all messed up and came off when I got home that same day.My 12.8,12.9 runs were with a 2.2 60 too.

Matt time to update the list!!!

[Fastiva604]

i ran a 12.9 @ 107 2.2 60 ft here is a time slip....i also have video of that same night just prior to the 12 running a 13.08 @106.. i had quite a few issues with my clutch(second gear burnout and it came out of adjustment) if i would have figured the problem out in time i would have ran in the range of 12.4 or 12.5 im guessing but oh well.. i ran slicks, t3/t4 turbo, wiseco pistons, cams,front mount, haltech e6k, etc... 14 psi street tune pump gas..

no, it seems to be that my control arm pinchbolt just isnt pinching or something, ive used 4 different bolts, 2 different hubs... i think maybe its just the control arm... ill replace that next. then again, i think i already did once and it did nothing...
