Getting back into Festivas!

^^ Hey, what are you doing in WV picking up stivas?? I called dibbs.

Congrats on the score, Nick!! Sweet car, glad it worked out for you. :thumbleft:

And for the record, Rainbow Death is awesome. :headbang: What became of that one?

Now stick a Weber in it for better milege and more power; or swap in a carbed B6, then Weberize it. I'm sure you can find used Weber DGEVs on eBay, and then buy a rebuild kit for it. And buy the Weber manual.

Haha thanks Batstiva- yea Rainbow Death was awesome. We ended up donating her to Purple Heart...who knows where she is now...

Oh, and TominMO, I was looking through some old posts about the Weber carb, and wanted to check, would I need to get the Weber DGEV 32/32? Would it bolt right in? I don't have the $$ to do that now, but it could be a possibility down the road. How much of an improvement is it?

^^ I'm not 100% sure, but I'm almost positive that you'll need an adapter on the intake. Anyone else??

That's a clean looking Festiva. I know what you mean about coming back to them, I am on my third Festiva now. My first one was a '90 L, Smurf Blue, and when I owned that car I came across a '91 L for $500 that I couldn't pass up. It was also Smurf Blue. After being without a Festiva for a couple of years I picked up another '91 L and guess what? It's also Smurf Blue. These little cars are so much fun! =)

thats really cool...I just recently did a 6+ hour drive one way for a Festy.....no issues, was supposed to have a bad tranny but I drove it back and I am still driving it almost 100 miles a day to work and back.

And I have to say, as excited as I am, soo many friends and family think I'm absolutely crazy, both to be excited for what they view as a piece of junk and to be driving that far for one. I guess some people just don't get it?

Looks like just the car to pick a girl up on a blind date in! :-)

People here were amazed that I flew to PA to pick up a Festiva (Casper) and drive it back home. Can't imagine why...
