        You can get away with stock injectors if you have an FMU.

          • Switched all my clusters out into their proper cars last night finally Tried to drive Green Car in today after it sat for a couple days, but it didn't want to have much power and I didn't want to be late looking for the problem so I just brought Chuck instead. Also looked for the passenger side armrest but couldn't find it still. lol.
            No festiva for me ATM...

                • Custom seat brackets made. And evo8 recaro is in. Feels great and a massive improvement in looks over the dsm seat I had in it.

                  • Realigned the Festiva a few days ago. I think it's time for a professional. My mistake was going by the sidewall... different tires on the front and back. It's pretty close now and rides alot better, might need a little more. And it looks like it's still getting 36mpg.. almost 10 more than the Aspire. The Aspire is just going to be spare car for a while doesn't make financial sense to drive it much.

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

                          • Installed bigger injectors Friday during my lunch, test drove it around the block (3 miles), it held 12 lbs, and kept spinning the tires thru 3rd gear, before I ran out road and speed limit. Pulling back into the parking lot, the cloud of white smoke started billowing out of the tailpipe with a sweet smell. Blew an entire coolant jackets worth of head gasket material out the first time holding more than 4 psi. Got a new stock gasket for $17, threw that in and now have to baby it (stay under 7) till i can get a cometic mls and Sep head studs.... Bummer.....
                            Im not driving a Festiva because I'm poor. I drive a Festiva because i want to!

                              • put the festiva up for the winter... didn't want him to see this again:



                                All snug in the garage!



                                I may turn him sideways in the very back of the garage when I have a little more time to clean up that corner.

                                Some festive winter project decorations hung on the garage wall



                                Brother in law swept dirt all over my parts for the winter project... gotta clean them up again :\
