Accepting Entries for June FOTM

[FestYboy]

Since I'm a derp and new to all this Mod stuff, I neglected to start a FOTM thread on time.... better late than never I guess :tard:

Well, let's get things started... I'm thinking since it's summer, that means PROJECTS!!!!! SOOO, on that thought, let's do an "In progress" FOTM for June.

[Advancedynamix]

Oh man, where do I begin. Lol.

[Tommychu]

"In Progress" eh? That's where my car is (perpetually it seems). But I just entered the FB runnings as well... Can I enter both at the same time?

[FestYboy]

two seperate entities as far as i'm concerned.

[Zanzer]

Does it count if the car is "in progress" but I haven't touched it in 2 years :mrgreen:


+1 Tommy, the madness never ends.

[FestYboy]

^ that's ALL of my projects HAHAHA

I use to have a 93 festiva in high school when I sold it I cried. The guy I sold to wreck it , I almost threw up. I was so determined for another I drove 8 hours and towed the "sweatstiva" back home. 1992 5 speed no a/c . Payed $1300.00, I got ripped off, it wasn't even running. I wanted one so I bought it. I changed engine with a 97 aspire played with engine bought parts spent money but was determined to make it run. Finally running. I have put a lot of blood and sweat in this car. Now for my parts list.
miata block
miata injectors
EGT head.
stock transmission
rio front setup
aspire LCAs and axles

now I jumped with excitement. And yelled, it's alive! I am so proud of it and never let it go.


And by the way did I tell you no rust in the car at all.

This pic makes it so much better with my wife in the car with me.
It is nice to have a wife that supports your festiva addiction.

[GenevaDirt]

Rhodes...it is not all about pics....there has to be a story to go with it....start writting!

[RhodeStiva]

I posted small story and posted pics from the day I got it to now. To see all the work I did.

[FestYboy]

yeah, you posted a story, but the font color was light grey, nearly impossible to read, i fixed it.

[Die-Laughing]

Die-Laughing's Car. 89' carb'd 1.3 4spd / coilovers / wheels & tires / bubble gum splatter / pink zip tie mod. Wassup!

[Twistiva]

Die-Laughing needs some serious work done (IMO) to fix his springs/shocks on the front. They look shot, to me...

Other than that, nice looking Festy!

[Die-Laughing]

Thanks. I assure you, they are not shot. Those pictures were taken 20minutes after I got the coilovers put together. New shocks & springs, etc. What you're looking at is 7 degrees of negative camber. A bit much? Yes. I plan on taking at least half of that out but, I wanted to be sure I wasn't going to be eating up fenders. That's the price you gotta pay for an aggressive wheel/tire fitment. If I can't stand them back up to about 3-3.5 degrees, I'll have to machine the backs of the front wheels to allow them to come in more which in turn will allow me to stand them up more. Also, there is nothing serious about the work involved in adjusting camber. It's literally two bolts I have to loosen, move it where I want it & tighten. Then, I'll reset the toe. No biggie. I just got picture happy and took them prematurely.
