  • FINALLY got a Festiva!

    After 6 or more months of looking for the right car, I finally got one! 1993 with unknown miles (reads 56,000 but the odometer hasn't worked in a LONG time). 5 speed with no rust or dents. It will be seeing an engine swap to a 1.6 or 1.8 DOHC. Currently runs/drives but hadn't been driven more than 1 mile in the last 3 years. I had a 60 mile drive to bring it home, so I opted to tow it. Hope to have better pics soon!

          Thanks guys! I have been cruising your site for a while. I have been jealous of everyone with a Festy. They rarely come up for sale in Colorado. My wife and I have had 10+ Miata's, so this is exciting to do a swap!

                          Thanks! If you own a 300zx and can say that, then I am looking forward to it! My 240z and my built Miata are fun, but I am really looking forward to this!

                            My bp festiva ran 16.0 at the track while my 300 ran a 16.3 but my B6T should run faster then both
