Interesting finding rare items from Festiva in junkyard

[Festiva GTX]

Today I went to junkyard and i got full surprises... I pulled the parts out a 1991 Festiva GL

Power steering system with odd mult grove belt pulley and maybe factory sunroof???

That's awesome! Nice find, I used to have a sunroof in my 88, I'm not sure if it was factory, but it looked identical to that one.

wanna sell that power steering setup?

[gottafesty]

Nice finds. Is the sunroof for sale?

[nEighter]

how much did you give for all that, and do festivas not come with power steering usually? You must have been there for a lil bit!

The power steering was pretty rare I believe. Of course, a Festiva is pretty easy to steer as it is, I'm not sure what ps would make it feel like. I've always thought it would be interesting to drive one just to see.

[rancheeto]

i think it would be awsome personally.

powersteering = one finger driving
its a car that defintily doesn't need it.

Sorry guys those items not up for sale...!

What I know about facts of power steering factory for 1991 Ford Festiva GL, it only made about 500 in USA and it does make like effortless to turn the wheel which girls/woman really love about it... but not sure how many did made for Ford Aspire with power steering...

its already effortless to steer festys. well atleast compared to my f-150 that keeps snapping the power steering belts. thats a workout

[rolla4me]

i hear that, my f250 did that once. it sucks.

i've had 2 festivas with sunroofs and neither one looked like the one you have there

the first one was in an 89 and it did look slightly different than the one in my current 93 but both of them had a red clip thing to hold the sunroof partially open if you didn't want it open completely, heres a pic of mine (the clip is broke by the way but you get the idea)

Does the power steering rack have a shorter ratio? My Festiva is almost two turns to get the wheels full lock one way. Easily three and a half turns lock to lock. Makes switch back sections entertaining... =O

The ATX is heavier in the front end, and there is a noticeable difference in steering effort required. It would have to make a difference on those cars. The MTX, I use 12" steering wheels on, and they steer with little effort.
I just noticed something else that had been discussed in other posts lately. Look close at the crank pulley in the pictures,
and you will see that they are from the early smaller diameter crankshaft engine. Later ones had the heavy, chunky looking type.
