Moving along...

[CryptokiD]

my project festiva sucks. i work from 5am untill 630pm. so i am awalys too exhausted during the week to work on the festiva after i get home.

on the weekends, by the time i am finished doing errands, washing my daily driver, and those kind of things there is no time to work on the festiva.

i literally havent wrenched on ym festiva for months now. all i have done is buy more parts for it.

i have sitting here a unsprung 4 puck act racing clutch kit, a 9lb aluminum flywheel, the 1.8 engine, aspire brake and suspension setup, a g25mr, a limited slip unit, a 4-1 tubular equal length turbo manifold plus a turbo off a saab 9000, walbro 255 fuel pump, methanol compatible fuel pressure regulator, and finally completely gutted festiva waiting for all this crap to go into.

it pisses me off. i need to take a couple weeks off work to go tackle the festiva but the boss wont let me, and i make such good money that i dont dare quit.

im kinda stuck in a festiva rut.

I've got me some 12lb wheels coming in this week...


15" Rota Slipstreams... Yum!

[Silv3rBull3t]

Those should look sick... How are you planning on keeping the hub (exposed area) from not rusting and looking like ass behind the wheel?? -Kyle

[JerseyJay1.8T]

good lord simon, that's a hot piece of wheel right there!

[oxbrain]

All work on my car is stopped now until I can get another place to work. The picnic bench just isn't cutting it. So I get to clear about 1000 sqft of blackberries and build a shed. This patch of land hasn't been clear for over 20 years so who knows what I'll find back there.
:naka:

i got the rotas beat. i have 15 inch konig heliums that just arrived this evening for my festi, and they weigh in at just over 10lbs.

[aithanmier]

damn...what did those set ya back?

[SimonTuffGuy]

I was looking at those wheels too, but opted for the Rotas instead...

[Silv3rBull3t]

I think the Rota's look nicer than the Heliums.. Just my .02 -Kyle

I've got me some 12lb wheels coming in this week...


15" Rota Slipstreams... Yum!

You've got excellent taste, very nice wheel.

[SimonTuffGuy]

Thanks Rich. I'm really excited to get them in and installed.

And the wheels set me back $450 shipped, then whatever tires run (380ish I think?)

[aithanmier]

those are tasty simon...a little pricey for my taste, but they are rotas...i really like the volk te37's i think i may have to spring for a set...15" 10.5 lbs each! i'm in love

[booster1976]

I bet that 1 volk wheel will cost as much as the set of wheels that Simon bought.

i bet it'll be close anyway! but damn they are so purty!

[aithanmier]

they are gonna be expensive but i decided that if i was going to go ahead with the festiva project i wasn't going to cut corners, when i get done it will be exactly the way i want it. BPT with quad throttle bodies, intercooled, stand alone ecu, fully adjustible coilover suspension, and a/c. ( it is gonna be a major pita trying to fit the ac system on there with that monster engine!!!). i just figured if i don't endup with the car exactly how i want it it isn't even worth doing the project. never compromise.
