  • Reference Info

    I'm trying to compile more or less a Festiva wiki (www.festiva.bntbtc.com), but I need more info, especially in the article about the foreign models (http://bntbtc.com/festiva/wiki/index.php5?title=Festiva), alot of it is just what i can piece together from kia pride clubs, pictures, and google translated versions of Japanese sites, especially wikipedia. IN generaly though, I hope it can be a sort of Festiva reference site, with pix and examples of everything. I think it would reduce the number of silly questions asked here. So anyways, questions, comments?? Also, please feal free to improve or fix things.

                I've put 11 gallons in my tank before. Both Batstiva and the new one (really, really need to come up with a name for that one). Tho, my owner's manual insists it's a 10 gallon tank.

                Nice job so far there pwgus!!

                  There on the site too...see:




                  Thats interesting about the 11 gallon tank...very interesting, even when I accidentally ran out of gas (yes...it is possible for a Festiva to run out of gas :-) ), I was only able to fit a little under 10 gallons in it, of course there would have been some at the bottom....but still, very interesting.
                  When you say youve installed an 11 gallon tank, do you mean the one you replaced it with wasnt stock?? That would be a cool upgrade.

                  Who would I PM to ask for a link in the links section of our site???

                    ^^ I'm talking with a stock tank, here. The one time I ran Batstiva out of gas (d'oh stupid sending unit) I put 1 gallon in it. Drove 3/4 of a mile to a gas station, and put 11 gallons in to fill it up.

                        I've ran out of gas before and only been able to put 8 gallons in my festiva. My current one is weird like that.

                          Mine (88 carb) was 10.35 gal from Slam Empty (when I uhhh, ran it out of gas).

                          Focustiva: Because I was told it was was impossible to fit a Focus bumper on a Festiva.
