    Today was a good day!

    Today I got my 89' Festy back on insurance, took her for a spin soon as I got home from school. She's running great again! Pulls hard for what it is, and has no problems anymore, sure missed driving it. Took it up to 75ish mph a few times, drove great, no shakes or anything. Glad I'm finally back to driving a festiva again

      I can relate. I know how good it feels to get a festiva back on the road after not driving it for a long time. Awesome.

        Glad to hear your rolling again. I drove my Suburban for the first time in three weeks today and felt like I was in a strange hotel room.:thumbup:

          When I had my '89 Auto it pulled hard to for a B3 Festiva also, it seemed faster then my current '90 Auto. Good to hear it's on the road again.

            The 89' autos are faster than the 90-93' autos, they have a different fuel injection set up, they have vac-advance and are peppier. I can definitely feel the difference when driving a 89' ATX vs. 90-93' ATX.

              After driving it, I realized something, I need to put my aspire front swaybar on the car. It really makes the car handle much nicer through the turns, I'm used to driving a festiva with one since my 93' I drove before had one installed on it. They're definitely worth the effort of installing
