    Welcome to the site. Your festiva can be anything you want it to be as long as you have an imagination, time, and patience. Like others have already stated, you need to go to a meet. You will be amazed with what you can do with these cars. Right now Im like you, short on money. However, your car will come around to reflect you in no time.
    Man should eat when he can for Man does not know when his last meal will be.

      Yeah those meets sound pretty sweet I hope to be able to go to them. I've already got so many ideas from looking at everyone's cars and what they've done. I can't wait to start fixing her up.

            I was thinking more of time constraints.
            If he wanted to be at the STL meet at noon, he needs to leave at 6AM.
            If he wants to get home before midnight he wants to leave before 6PM.
            A full day to be sure.
            Better if you bring another friend of the festiva and trade off driving.
            Was on a mission last year, me and a friend traded off driving through a tank of gas.
            This went on for 3000+ miles and 3 days.

              That is definately doable. I hope I can go. I think I may have this scholarship banquet crap. Ha I recently won a scholarship and have a banquet.. But I must say I'd rather be at the festiva meet but school first? right? ha But Maybe I have the wrong date. We'll see!

                Correct!
                But at least your not being educated in Ohio.

                    Does it have a carb or is it injected. If its injected, it should be a 5 speed...so I'm told.

                      i218127, Post #1; "1991 L model with a 4 speed stick!"

                      All '91 were EFI and yes it should have been a 5 spd, but my guess is someone killed the tranny and couldn't find a 5 spd so they used a 4 spd.
                      Also, as previously discussed.

                              Genevadirt, you need to use a "haha" or a "hahaha" or two to make it genuine!
                              Found some tires in my car 175/50/13's.
                              You want?
