What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Christ]

Bad title can't kill cars this old.

I just got a title for a 3rd owner since transfer Festiva, and it didn't cost any other than the application fee.

I remember it being 12mm 12pt

Me too, and it was on the last half dozen I've done. This one though is different for some reason, maybe aftermarket, IDK lol. I freaked out because I got the only 12pt socket I own (12mm) and if didn't fit?! Confused me greatly lol. I picked up a 13mm and 1/2" from one of my buddies today, so I should be able to get it back together the rest of the way tonight.

I'm going to be fixing my midshaft bracket, changing the axle seal and hopefully welding on my exhaust flange theoretically finishing my BP project unless something else goes wrong . Fingers crossed

Received my rear trans mount (for Festiva Auto) in the mail today. Looking to install it this weekend along with LCAs and Inner/Outer Tie Rods.

[neanderpaul]

Where'd you get the mount?

[Christ]

Scrubbed the paint on the left rear and left door and sprayed primer on them.... Eventually, the car will be all one color.

Well, yesterday...

[htchbck]

Where'd you get the mount?

X2!

[fastivaca]

Where'd you get the mount?

Rockauto has them listed for less than $15.00. You have to look in the "transmission" listings for it though.

[htchbck]

That is true... but they are not for the auto. Even though it says they are, they aren't.

It's been a few years but I seem to remember 13mm 12 pt.

A carby B3 I took apart had 13mm 12 pt head bolts and the 88 B6 I took apart has 13mm 12pt head bolts.

Skeeter swore up and down it was 12 (which, I'm guessing 90+ may be 12mm 12pt?)

I now have both 12mm and 13mm on hand

and btw, kobalt (lowes) has most of their sockets for around 4-5 bucks vs sears 8-10 bucks per comparable socket and warranty. just a thought

[neanderpaul]

All the ones I tore down were carby.

[htchbck]

I've torn down both, and never needed to break out anything other than my 12mm 12pt before. Used the 13mm from my buddy tonight and the head in officially fully installed

[lil red rocket]

Installed new rear struts on my spire. It's like a whole new car now. I got the pair for $48 including shipping from rockauto.com

[walth]

that's a really good deal! I don't think I've ever bought new struts...usually get hand-me-downs from the JY. but someday...I'll enjoy new struts. haha

I pressure tested my newish radiator, that was dripping a little coolant, tring to locate the leak. The entire bottom end tank popped loose and started pissing coolant everywhere. Have to wait till tomarrow to call thw company for the lifetime warranty. Just hope the ebay company is a legit company and take care of me.
