turbo month? anyone wanna go up against zippy?

[HondaSlayer]

i would think about it if my car looked at least a little bit nice. i think turbo month would be cool.

This is my girlfriend's ride, a 1995 Kia Pride(Festiva Beta) LX, a sedan Pride/Festiva, a Festiva Beta to some other countries. We just bought this last February 2012 coz she wanted to buy her first ride that is not expensive but can be reliable in a daily drive basis to her work and home. She planned to have a Pride before coz she's curious of how I choose to have that kind of car. We inspired her together w/ my friends who has the same passion as I am. And that month of February she bought her own. She named it Coachy that came from her designer wallet Coach.

Here it is when we bought him. Actually, did already restored him back to its stock condition. Clean and simple looking. Got him too here w/ a low pro tires,50 series.






After a month , we bought him an oldschool mags, newly refurbished. We installed too fiber copy door guards and foglights.Still in stock height here.





A month again passed, I dropped him for a good looking stance. Scraped also top of the bumpers that somewhat gave the car a Euro look with the spray paint flat black. That's to make it clean looking also.






Then we had him last month a chin. It's one of a kind chin and developed for a stock Pride/ Festiva bumper by yours truly. I want to give the car a more aggressive look at the front. Modified also the grill for a more sporty look. Added some gtx decals too. Here's now his present condition...








That's the look for now. As time passes, it still change. More plans for this car of ours.

Sorry scene, this is "Festiva" of the month, not Capri of the month

[Scene_Stiva]

Dang it! It was worth a shot.

"Enter your Festiva, Aspire, 121 or Pride."

Not to be "that guy" but last I checked a Aspire is not a festiva.

[Damkid]

Ok so I was being lazy and didn't feel like typing out every variation of festiva..... thank you so very much for correcting that for me :thumbright:

[HondaSlayer]

I'll try again.

Well im up against ernst again so i will probably lose again but it is still fun .

Ill start off by saying i love my car. I have loved it every day since i pulled it out of a field 7 years ago when it was full of scrap. Soon after i started driving i found FF.com and festiva motorsports.com and went to town. i ordered springs and struts from them along with carpet and a short shifter and a strut brace. i got the spring, struts and carpet but the other stuff was backordered so i canclled them. i must admit when i was 16-18 i beat the crap out of my poor little car. but it never let me sit anywhere. even when the clutch blew into 2 pieces i still drove 9 miles home. it has had a body kit i found at harrys u pull it and it was in pieces so i duct taped it together and put it on. i dont have pictures but imagine a black spray painted festiva with a yellow and silver body-kit and gold 12 inch steelies. i got alot of looks. well i started growing up alittle.(still not that much ). i started to get it fixed up again. well cant say much till more recent because it was just driving it and not doing much.

well recently i wanted a motor swap in the worst way. i was searching the forums and getting info on what swaps to go and how hared they were because im colorblind and cant wire very good.well after some looking and whatnot i came across a whole car from an unfortunate accident. well after hundreds of texts i finally made a deal to get the whole car. so i started to get everything ready to go pick it up. wewll here is a picture of the shebeast i drove 4.5 hours to west virgina and back for a totla of 9 hours on the road



well it was all worth it in the end because this it what i returned with.



well it was timee to get to work and switch everything over. i put both cars in the 2 car garage and got to work.





i switched everything from hulk to my car in a period of 1 week. i had help from my one friend and some machinery. it was very frustrating at some points.



but i kept on going and when i heard the sound of start up i was so happy. and im going to have to cut this short because of a storm but i will get it over with.

i painted the car white and have never been happier with any other car. here are some pictures of my car and the hitch setup i made for it from a volve hitch.





i have lots more to say about my precios car but dont want to lose everything i typed because of the storm so it will have to do. thanks for looking.
