  • Festiva as only vehicle?

    Just wondering how many on here have a festiva/festivas as their ONLY vehicle?

          Its my only wheels other than my wifes car. The bad news is my engine burns and leaks oil like no other. The good news is that a diff engine will soon be in it, getting rdy to complete Aspire swap and new exhaust. Very excited!

              my Festiva will be my only vehicle after a BP swap, I was planning to use it as a daily driver as is (stock LX) but the engine died on me today, I'm using my mother's Festiva till I get a BP in mine.... she doesn't drive it often, she typically drives her 05 Chevy Venture, so it was no real change for me starting to drive her's

                  I daily drive one 70 miles roundtrip. Other one is down waiting for the B6T. Sometimes I worry though.

                    Why do you worry?

                      my guess is that he won't get the B6T done and the daily will break down, that sorta thing....

                          ^You got it Andrew. DD needs a few things like an alignment, could use new brakes, and will likely need new lifters soon. One gets stuck sometimes.

                            Hopefully that won't happen, but I had a feeling that was the issue.... I'm going to try doing a BP in my LX this spring if money permits (the B3 died this evening, could be saved but it's more trouble than it's worth)
