Ill make a last minute entry!!! Here we go...
Bought my car in June of 2012 for $1000. Turned out that I should of looked it over a little more beforehand but oh well cant do anything about it now! It's a 1992 Festiva GL. It has passenger mirror! Since I got it my friends and I have put a lot of time and money into it. I've become obsessed with getting new parts for it!
I was leaking quite a bit of oil, before I did my BP swap but since then haven't had any engine related problems.
At the same time of the engine swap we put in a 5-speed manual instead of the ol' 3-speed auto. But I blew the clutch around last thanksgiving and again earlier today! I think it may be time for a G-series...
Before the swap I put on around 1,000 miles on it, since everything else I've put on about another 5,000.
Here is a listed of the things I've done since purchasing.
BP engine from a 95 Escort GT with about 120k miles
5-speed festy transmission swap

Upgrades:
Kenwood Headunit
4" MTX Dash Speakers
4" Walmart rear deck speakers
6.5" MTX door speakers
200 watt BOSS amp
12" Kenwood Sub

Aspire Calipers and Rotors
14"VW snowflake Rims
New steering wheel
Rear seat delete
Things still needing installed:
KYB Struts/Shocks
Rear aspire beam and brakes
Fix slight rust/possibly replace hood as well as hatch
Replace 400 watt amp with 1200 watt (or just add it in)
2 more 12" kenwood subs
