What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[villageidiot]

installed new calipers and front hoses
changed master cylinder
plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, fuel filter and fuel filter mounts (same as a benz air filter mount)
replaced both alternator and ac belts
did an oil change
filled up trans fluid (automatic)

started to bleed brakes, i get fluid to the right rear, left front, and right front (i think), but im not getting fluid to the left rear, pulled the rubber hose out (new last weekend) it blows thru fine. pulled the little hard line to the wheel cylinder, it blows thru fine. put a vaccum pump on the hard line coming from the front of the car, nothing at all comes out. tomorrow will pull the line off at the distribution block on the firewall and blow thru it with air and hopefully un clog it, then i can flush it with cleaner and air, repeat til im happy. then hopefully i can finish bleeding the brakes, and adjust the rear wheel bearings.

If you have the spring installed correctly, there should be some slight lateral movement in order to maintain the proper timing belt tension at all times.

[Chobobulous]

Got the new timing belt and tensioner pulley in on. I was under the impression that the pulley should move laterally. At 14-20 ftlbs it doesnt move at all.

Am I missing something here?

Also, the little sock for the spring was destroyed. That shouldn't be a problem though right.

Replaced a locked-up passenger side wheel cylinder on the white 5 spd AC unit.
Never seen one like this.
Replaced a few leaking ones, but ever a seized wheel cylinder.
Now on to the front struts.

Finally got my tach cluster put in my daily driver if for no other reason than to have the headlight buzzer

Not really... The heads are slightly larger at the base but still 14mm. The threads are also slightly longer.

I did only use a ratchet to torque them the first time... Used a snap on cordless impact @ 110 ft lbs the second time haha.

Did the Rio swap, bled the brakes, installed new control arms and escort tie rod ends, drove her, the wheel fell off, put it on with Rio bolts instead of Festiva... She's all good now haha.

I am guessing the Rio Lug bolts are a size bigger than the Festiva ones. lol

Ripped its heart out, finally. Ended up triple checking everything and still forgetting the right heater core hose. Bent it up.

[TorqueEffect]

Yeah I had bought those Gorilla ones as well, but too big to fit my Konig Incidents.

Finally put my AC in!!! [emoji592] first time ever having air conditioning in a car. Gets pretty hot here in Naples,now I'll survive some. Mechanic said I should get a new accumulator & orifice tube to blow colder or better. Now I'm learning about air conditioning. Keep it on circulate air and AC button on. Gonna get this car back in shape.

If you're looking for a decent horn, check out the ford freestyle. I plan on putting one on my car when I get a chance.
