Ok, I didn't make March so maybe April? Here are the most recent pics. If not I will try another entry after the weather warms up and I can get my paint job completed. Then I will have a unique tiva. Sorry, it's not a modded up tiva yet. But it will look decent by october for the fall meet.

my car

ok so the story well frist thing this is now my 4th festiva.
my frist one was my frict car i payed 250 for it and it was a roll over.
so me and my dad worked on the car and drank booze every weekend till it was done. i drov that car for 4 years was the most fun i had in a car.
the 2 festiva was a friend ov mines i showed up a day bfor he was going to scrap it so got it for 110. but it was to bad to put on the road could not get the wheel studs out.so that ended up being a track car where ppl could not bleave how good that little car did and got the name redneck racecar lol.
my 3 festiva is the one i am driving now (the one in the pics)it aint pretty right now but it is cheap 250 cheap and all it needed was a cluch.
and the new on number 4 i payed more for it then the one i drive but it is in awsome shape and i hope to do a motor swap to that one at sometime.
anyway hope u like my little putt putt
thanks mike

Hahahaha!!!! Mine has the same Craftsman mod. I feel like such a car thief every time I go to crank my car! I'm just waiting for someone to see me doing it and freak out. It'll be funny to see the look on their face when I show them the registration with MY name on it...LOL

ok well heres my entrie. I got this car for $1500 (too much IMHO, but i needed a car). Virtually rust free. It is an auto but will be a 5 spd in the very near future. I'm doing a B8 swap, along with a clutch swap, to it at the moment. I got the B8 out of a Mazda Protege, I will be using the tranny from the Protege as well. Thats about it for now, so hopefully you guys like it!!



thanks

tony

Nice entries, so far. 92festie, it you want a replacement for that driver's side fender, let me know. A yard near me has a Festy that color, and I can check about the fender if you want me to. Just get me the paint code from yours, and I'll make sure it's the same. :wink:

Oh, and yellow VCs FTW!! :headbang:

Love that key mod. You got me thinking now.

Hey why not!
1991 L 5 speed

I got this car through a buddy of mine.He purchased it to do a B6-me swap i talked him out of it and eventually obtained the car from him with alot of haggling back and forth I got it for 500.00 SO i brought it home! It's had a rough life possibly been a previous swap car at one point in the past It used to have a tach and pillar gauges as evidenced by drilled holes in the pillar and dash would be interesting to know its history.It feels awfull quick for a 62 h/p motor so who knows what has been done internal. got a few "kills" under it's belt havent been outran yet absolute blast to drive

My goal
To have a fun,good gas mileage car to commute in possibly autoX in the future .

Current Mods
2" full exhaust w/no cat and "fart can"
Cone air filter,air tube baffle removed
syntheic oil
bumped timing,indexed and back clipped NGK plugs
"ebay 5" tach"
rear seat removed
Shifter linkage modded
APC civic short shifter

Future plans
B8 swap
Coil overs
suspension mods

Here it goes: So I bought this 92 GL with 173k miles on the clock locally for $400. The previous owner had problems with the engine overheating and didn't want to try to fix it. He also tried to smog it and it failed (which he also failed to tell me). Anyway, replaced the radiator and no more overheating! Changed the plugs, wires, cap and rotor and passed smog. So I had a pretty clean Festiva running and registered for under $600. The idea was to have a daily driver that looked cool as was fun to drive to keep the "better" cars in the garage. Since then I've tried to put as little money into fixing it as possible. I replaced the gauge cluster with an orange tach gauge and also replaced the a/c-heater controls face with an orange one. The steering wheel was replaced with a new Momo Pilota 2 that I had laying in the garage from a previous project that was never finished. The stereo was replaced with an Alpine headunit with ipod controls, an Eclipse 5 channel amp, Focal 3-way components in front, Focal 2-way components in back, and an 8" kicker sub (had all that stuff too so no money spent there either). I found a pair of very clean Prelude seats on CL for $40 and what a difference! If anyone wants stock seats in very good condition, let me know I also got a center console to dress it up a bit.
The struts are KYB GR2s with Aspire springs in front with 2 coils cut off, and the rear springs are FMS reds. The front and rear brakes came from an automatic Aspire including the trailing arm. The wheels are American Racing AR24s painted bronze. And the spoiler was gracefully sold to me by someone that got it a local junkyard probably 2 minutes before I got there (he was still trying to remove it from the hatch when we met). I also have a BP that I'm hoping to rebuild soon to replace the 1.3. Finally, the side decals came off a 1974 Celica GT project that I got bored with and had these stickers left. Anyway, here are some photos showing some of the progression:

The next day I got it, after replacing the head unit:
