I'm still wondering how your brakes are lasting. Geuss its a lighter car and such. I know when i ran hoosiers on my miata, i used a set of dtc60's and a set of brembo rotors a race weekend.

Although the track i raced at was quite hard on brakes.

I always wondered if i just kept on throwing money and time into the festiva, i could of made it quick for road racing... I just gave up and got a miata

Quite the E ticket ride. You still need to put your butt in the GTX for me.

If your not first...Haha nevermind, sounds like you had fun anyway, time to throw that engine on the ground! Cars lookin good though, leaning a lot, almost looks like it was ready to lift off and fly...over and over and over sideways hah.

I will eventually have a proper aero package, but not on Tweak, that's for the fully prepared track car. For now, Tweak will just get an extra 50 or so HP and a little more suspension refinement and then it's finished. Tweaks purpose is to test exactly what kind of cornering forces a slightly modified festiva chassis can handle with stock sway bars and no strut bars. I raced it with r35a hoosier road racing slicks, cornering at 75+ mph for about 400 miles without any chassis fatigue indications. That's extremely impressive. These cars are built incredibly well. This proves that strut bars and other stiffening bars are not necessary on an uncut festiva chassis. I destroyed 2000 dollars worth of Hoosier rubber and the chassis just begs for more. My engine on the other hand is toast. She's smoking pretty bad. I installed a G-force ECU last week and ran 16PSI all weekend. I toasted my vj14, then I installed a vj14/11 hybrid and then I beat the car for 2 more days and I think I shattered a couple rings. Oops. Time for a proper b6t.

Raced Tweak again over the weekend. Got 2 second place trophies in my Time Attack class. I was beat both days by a Porsche GT3 race car. Someday I'll get that Porsche, I'm going to have to step it up a notch.

Belly pan and diffuser. Flare your fenders at the doors, and grab a vented CF hood. You'll swim upstream!

I think we all should write a book about how amazing festivas are. It could be titled "It's NOT a fiesta". :p

[Ford Fester]

Ok so someone needs to write a book about how amazing Charlie and his festiva are! Yes I am obsessed with festivas...especially tweak.
