    Oh man, where do I begin. Lol.
    Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

      "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?

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

              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
              GTI spoiler


              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.

                            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!

                              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.
