      Gotta get it here first.

      $600
      Run pretty good with one spark plug completely removed. Tough little booger.

      Will be using the motor and tranny for a swap and think I might look at other items but will be selling some things off.

                I'll be around this summer if you need an extra hand with the swap... let me know, I've never done this to a Festiva before.

                  Will do. I have to decide how much work I am going to do before I swap.
                  And yes we do.

                  Sport rims. I see. Interior is in pretty good shape. This car was taken care of fairly well. One side looks like something caught fire and melted some trim pieces a bit. Like the outside of the passenger mirror. Has a hard top.

                    If you end up parting it, I'd be interested in the hard top.. let me know.

                      I will be parting some items.

                      Need to decide if I am going to use the brakes.


                      Put the 4th spark plug in it today and boy did it smooth out the running. Yes this little tough dude ran on 3 cyls and the 4th wide open.

                      Post some pics in a bit.

                        Ive been driving a 93 XR2 for a couple months now. No plans to swap the b6t into my festy though. I think Im gonna fix up the Xr2 to be my driver/fun car and keep the festy for when $4 gas comes back, or it might become my gf's next car. Though either way a turboed b3 sounds nice.

                        Mine has the 3 spoke wheels too, I might have to get a center cap from you. Car needs some work on the suspension and a little rust repair but it runs so smooth. I missed having the power from my 88 tbird turbo coupe and this relieved that issue. I cant wait to put some money into this car, get the suspension fixed up, nice exhaust, chipped ecu and such.

                          Don't do this to me. I do not like to part a good clean car and have already had thoughts of keeping. No No No you have too many cars now Rodney...
