  • Just got a new (to me ofcourse) festiva!!

    I got another festiva finally! it is a 93 L. i got it for $400 on craigslist in norristown. It has FMS springs and kyb struts all around. All new bushings and axel shafts in the front. it has slotted rotors in the front and the guy said it has j spec drums in the rear.(never heard of them). It has a short shifter in it already and custom door panels for 2 speakers in each and rear panels for 2 10in subwoofers in each. I need to put a head on it but i have one in the garage from my other car. It is red and i will post pictures of it as soon as i can get all the snow off of it. o yea i forgot it has a custom exhaust on it that appearanty(im sure i spelled it wrong) cost $650. It has a FMS header and a high flow cat on it. I cant wait to get it running. It also came with a flip out tv, a mitsu turbo, a momo steering wheel and e-brake handle he said he ordered from germany. I was so excited to get it. So do you guys and girls think i got a good deal?

            $400.00 is what I paid for my no option, "plain as they come" '90 L

            You got an excellent deal.

                    well at least check it, if it's out of spec, then deck it (you gon't no choice then) and have them take another .010" off for a little more compression.

                        I'd sell one(turbo) to have your head decked($35), and buy your parts(timing belt) and such. My .02$

                            Great deal, man!

                            Just get her running and save your pennies for more work. Keep in mind something could go wrong and you'll need $$ for repairs/parts replacements.

                            Drive cheap now...turbo later.

                            Just my opinion.
