What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Twistiva]

I picked up my ceramic coated valve cover today.

I am well pleased.

B6 headers will be coated next.

Ha! Ha! For some strange reason I suddenly want to go clean the engine bays on all my Festivas! :-)

Nice work, Brave!

I presume you had the glass rolled down when you bent it.
The Festiva uses simple lock rods. It is very easy to open without using a crowbar at the top of the door. I will make a post explaining the door latch operation.
I also recommend using Magic Eraser on the gray TPO (thermo plastic olefin) bumpers.

Brave -

Does the 'Magic Eraser' bring back the nice black color???

I hope that doesnt bend in half in your hands...

I tried to after I pulled it out of the box, nice and sturdy structurally. The screws will rip out of the boss adapter before the wheel bends.

I think the main steering wheels you have to worry about are the ones that blatantly try to rip off name brand wheels by name and design trying to make it look like the real thing and trying to pass off as such. Like NARDI, and MOMO steering wheels.

Currently in the middle of installing a new valve cover gasket. But wanted to paint the valve cover Ford Red, so I cleaned it the best I could by hand and now the second coat is drying.

I also went ahead and installed my new ebay steering wheel since I wanted to go back to something flashy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/380928121671...84.m1423.l2649

I like that. I'm also digging the clear powder coating i have had done recently.

Too much. $50. I expect the headers to be about the same price or $10 nore.
The ceramic should tolerate the heat far better than my inorganic cad red which smoked and turned brown. Valve covers don't need to be ceramic coated. Only non stainless exhaust

Very nice power mirrors. They look very good on a yellow Festiva.
I am glad that members share old parts with other members.

Funny, but for some strange reason, I have this craving for something banana-flavored.

I used a tab from a pop can (soda can?) once.

I have a flat mazda key cut for my car and in my wallet for if I lose/forget/lock my keys in my car.

Ive locked myself out plenty of times. I just pull up the weather stripping on the passenger side and use my index finger to push up on the lock.
