  • March FOTM Winner

    Thank you everyone for voting my festiva FOTM!!! i honestly did not think it would win but i figured i'd give it a try, so a big thank you again to everyone!!

    Here is my entry again

    Originally posted by Damkid View Post
    When i was 16 years old my parents had a 1988 festiva L 4 speed, and a parts car which was a 1990 Lx. When i did get my license a year later me being young and stupid i wrecked the 88' and the 90' LX got fixed to become the new daily driver. once i was able to afford my own insurance the 90 LX became mine (Freshtiva - you may recognize the drivers fender)




    After a year of driving the 90 LX the motor basically died on me so as i was pricing out a new engine, my parents took it upon themselves to buy me my Green 93L, all i had to re-pay them was what i was willing to pay for the price of a new engine, these pics were taken shortly before it was given to me




    Not long after i got the car i removed the factory decals and put my own on, i found a set of rims for it, made some custom clear taillights for it, and some other various cosmetic changes to it and this is what i came up with







    This was the first decent stereo i had in it, 2 12' MTX's that hit 138 DB


    But then i upgraded to this, 2 15" solo barics that hit 143 DB


    then i found a spoiler and made a custom hood




    And a 180 kph tach cluster (no tach clusters were available in canada) and it works well


    i had accidently broken my custom taillights so i found a set of kia pride taillights


    Later i joined FF.com (the best thing i've done with festivas to this day) and i learned what performance upgrades i could do, so i started with the aspire swap (which i had to lose the wheels i had)



    And next was a BP swap which made this car do 16.0 in the 1/4 mile with a slipping clutch and terrible stock suspension



    Along the way i picked up a set of wheels for the aspire bolt pattern and the only current pics i have of my green festiva are with my new to me B6T festiva





    So this is the story of how i came to own and upgrade my green 93 L BP festiva

    1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
