Welcome Mike! Can't wait to see the next build project.

Welcome 'ol newb! Nice ride. I can see why you miss it! :p

[mgardiner2673]

The term 'newbie' doesn't apply to you Sir. If you know Festivas you're already one of us. You're just not acquainted personally yet. Welcome aboard.

Thanks a lot.:p I spent many hours researching things with my last one and had a ball making all the changes. I'm really looking forward to doing it all again. :hello1:

Thanks to all!

Thanks to everyone for replying to my post. Seems like I might have found a bunch of like minded individuals!
Hopefully we'll chat more and get to know each other.

Welcome MIke.

It reminds me a lot of my car....... when I had a b8.

Looks good, you should build another.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm sitting here at the moment searching Craig'sList for another Festiva. Hopefully I can find one I can afford. LOL

Yeah the value is climbing alright! You never said which scion you had/have?

[mgardiner2673]

Sorry. I had an 07 Scion tC and loved it. It had Hotchkis suspension, Magnaflow exhaust, 17 in wheels and Nitto Invo tires. Also had an Injen cold air kit. I can't seem to leave anything stock!!! LOL Too bad I got rid of it also.
I also have an 06 Kawasaki Concours.

The answer to that is no. I traded it in when I bought the Scion here in Mississippi and actually saw it driving around several months later. Wish I could find it again; I'd buy it back if possible! LOL

Welcome!!

[mgardiner2673]

From a Festiva to a Scion?? Well, it's no wonder you're needing another Festiva. A Scion can't cure the sickness that a Festiva inflicts! heheh

That's a nice car you had! As much as I wanna do dohc engine swaps, something about the sohc B6 makes me really wanna do one. By the sounds of things, you're thinking of doing a swap in your future Festi. I look forward to seeing it. I like your strut bar btw.

Oh yes, and, welcome back to the madness!

Do another engine swap??? ABSOLUTELY!! LOL Going from 60 HP to around 90 certainly makes the swap a no brainer. But I'm thinking a dual cam this time. Or maybe put a turbo on the B6. Something like that. There's always fun things to do with a Festiva!

What's crazy is that the person has no idea probably what they have. They are probably driving around saying MAN I had NO idea festivas were this fast or handled this good!! LOL!
