      neanderpaul knows a guy who will be building a front engine rotary powered RWD festiva, the guy is not a member here though

      1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
      1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
      2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

      1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        I remember seeing a guy that put a 302 V-8 in one. But I never could find the website again. He used the stock unibody, but reinforced the rocker panels to "make" it a full-frame car, but that was all I remember.

            Also check out the Grassroots Magazine forums online for the $2,00X challenge. They always have crazy builds going on & some of the guys have thrown the Festiva RWD idea around.

                A couple years ago someone had a Festiva that had already had a full frame in place for front engine rear drive. Dont know if anyone bought it or what became of it. Would be cool to see though.
