    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?

  • #2
    It's now been a year since I've started this journey. Since then this has consumed my life completely. Everyone I know knows what a festiva is and knows that I love them, to a few people my name is Festiva..

    It all started when I went to Wednesday night drags and saw a festiva there running 13's (probably fastivab6tg25mr). I didn't have a car yet because it would be too expensive but then I thought maybe I could afford a festiva:p

    This is literally what my whole life consist of. It's all I do.

    The list of mods.
    *B6t/g5mr *Bar'd CA legal swap (took 8 tries)
    *Capri front brakes
    *Rokkor coilovers
    *Capri rims
    *Turbo back 2.5" with cutout
    *Rocketman ecu
    *KY stage 3 clutch
    *Starion intercooler*
    *Vj 11/14 hybrid turbo
    *Turbo XS RFL BOV
    *Rear mounted battery with cut off switch
    *Boost, tach gauge
    *Innovate MTX-L wideband
    *Mbc
    *Open element air filter
    *Drag radials
    *Animal horn
    *Fog lights*


    The day I got it



    Took the carpet out and used bedliner


    Pretty sad lookin'


    After the second coat of Rustoleum


    The last big job. 3rd Clutch


    The end result.

    Factory stainless rack

                  I actually didn't make a thread. Just thought I would go ahead and do it and have the final result.

                    you and your car have come a long way man, glad you stuck with it and saw it though. You made a monster with limited $$ and at first a small amount of knowledge, but now look at what you've done!!

                    you got my vote!

                      Well I fell in love with festivas cause its what my mom had, an its what I learned to drive with. It was awesome it was a 92 green one with a splash decal on its side. The head gasket blew at 280,000 miles, ever since then I needed to have one..... so I did...

                      In 2006 I bought my first festy it is an 88 carby, 4 speed. I bought the car for $250 dollars an it came with two grocery bags full of spare parts an both sets of OEM rims... I was in love an (Project Doomsday) was born...

                      Modifications
                      One-off bodykit: made from a r34 skyline kit

                              Frankie, Did you re-shape the front fender arches? Car looks great man, the airbrush work turned out awesome. Excited to see the swap completed.
