Slicks on a festiva.

[Dr_Dseries]

well based on hp and weight and now that i have some ideas how to make the front suspension hook up on a festiva hopefully mid to low 10s. I am hoping that once i get the car ironed out and it goes straight and all that stuff might have to get her licensed as of this point my hardest thing on my plate is axles. I called an axle shop today and since i am 100% positive a festy is narrower than a civic i am going to get civic axles resplined for festiva outers for 140/pr or get brand new one off 4340 chromolly steel axles for 450/pr i guess i will get civic ones more resplined and see how long they last.

what kind of E.T. and trap speed are you shooting for?

One of his other posts stated his civic ran 10's, and he's planning to use that same engine in his festiva :shock:


Keep in mind, if you plan to upgade the brakes to the aspire brakes (much, much better braking), that will change the bolt pattern to 4x100, the same as a civic, meaning if you still have the slicks from your civic you could re-use them, rims and all, on a festiva

The stock Festiva brakes will not stop you.

Going to be drag racing a festiva not every once in a while its going to be a drag car i have looked online for some new wheels and slicks i want to get some insight on if these will fit there 13" and have the right bolt pattern i know there for circle track but eh i am sure they will go down the strip too also anyone know where you can get stock styled flared front fenders in an attempt to not make this thing look like a clown car
