Getting my first Fester this week!

[silver04rs]

Well thanks for all the great replies guys, I've been reading and reading and reading on here trying to figure out what I'm going to do with this thing

I have a BP 1.6 from a miata in my garage, I was thinking of slapping that in the car but at the same time I'd rather almost rebuild the stocker and run that for a bit..... just so I can know what the car felt like with the original beast in there

I plan on picking it up next week but I might try and go see it today (its been stored outside the past 3 years and I haven't seen it).... either way I'm pumped to get going on this and will do a full build on here with lots of pics

Thanks again for the warm welcome

the stock b3 motor "built up" isnt impressive at all.
the bp would make your festy suprisingly fast.

enjoy and welcome to the site.

Its been in teh sun for a bit and its really killed some stuff.... but not all of it

You look happy enough but I bet you'd be even happier if those wheels were on MY car.

WAIT!, Don't answer me now, think about it awhile.

Its only cool if the sticker has melted away from the sun and your left with a glue spot in the shape of a sticker

anyone know what center console that is? i need one of those.

silver thats a very nice start anyway you can get ahold of your buddy and see what he has done to it mod wise? ie brakes and suspension?

That looks like a Escort console wrapped around the stock box that sits in the Festiva. Love the TSW wheels, I have TSW's on my car.

Well I went through my photobucket account, moved some stuff around and then went to edit my post and add a few more pics but this forum does not allow editing of posts... so in case they all disappear (like they will)

Here they are again, with a few more added in

popped the hood and saw this beauty... only thing is its been missing a hose for 7 or 10 years... wonder if its good and whats in it?




14" TSW wheels with T1's... the tires are done though


Drilled and slotted rotors with rubber lines... I think I might need to clean these up a bit


The dash looked good, no cracks or warping... just a ton of stickers




Its been around the block more than my mom



Had a nice seat at one time... looks like the sun killed it though


but I sat down anyways....


Part of the seat got up with me


Original manual


some more of this beast!!!!



noticed the starter was missing...


so we took care of that...


and a few of the exterior











shes gunna be a handfull

I saw some white KYB's under there... but ya, Ill get a full list of mods from him when I see him next

I was told that the car took a dump racing a CRX on teh freeway around 9 years ago... poor little bugger

So I have a custom center console huh..... guess Im teh new cool guy in town :glasses7:

[Festiva_Fred]

Looks like a nice start! Many have started with worse, like me :p

[sasquatch]

thats a NICE car. it just needs a little love!!!

[silver04rs]

Well I picked up an engine today from "getnpsi", he said it was out of a aspire and thinks it may have burnt a valve or something

I also got the ol clunker home and into my garage

So now I need to yank the stocker, pull them both apart and see what I can make with the parts

should I just continue this as my build thread or is there a specific place on this forum to do so?

Thank guys

Travis
