isuzu stylus bumper rules

[500dollarfestiva]

I bought this beast of a car for $500. A steal really. I've fallen in love with this car and worship it. I hope to make it into a tuner soon.

When I first bought it, it wouldnt really drive because it didnt have enough power, so i towed it. When I got it home around 10 PM i got carried away and worked on it until about 2 in the morning. I checked the spark plugs and gapped them back to specs, i also checked the compression and it was all good expect for cylinder 2. I ran some more tests and decided i will deal with that later. I took the valve cover off and adjusted the valves back to specs, some were off quite a bit. It idled real high so i brought it down to about 750 or 800 RPM's. I proceeded to the timing, it was off a bit so i set it back. This helped alot. When i bought it, it had no choke plate so i went to the junk yard and the Festiva there was picked to the bone so i got one off of a isuzu impulse. The screws were still in the choke plate holder so i had to drill them out. I re-threaded them to fit some screws i had, the screws were too long so i ground them down.

I hope to make it into a tuner soon. Have some sweet bumpers. Maybe a engine swap. Paint it red or black. The A/C has been disconnected by the previous owner, the compressor and everything is missing. I want to fix all that. My O2 sensor is disconnected so i will repair that. A few odds and ends. This will be my Daily Driver!
