What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[darrenryall]

Now I have to figure out why Blues headlights are not working all of a sudden.

Check those underhood fusible links. Bet you you've just lost one, likely the one closest to the left fender.

Do yourself a favor and replace them with these:

or even

I did that, and it made me a way happier camper.

Will we be seeing either of these at Westiva in July?

Depends on which one needs less work.. Farmstiva hit a porcupine and has a rubbing in the front left that's preventing me from driving. The new one has some (it sounds like) brake rubbing in the back, and I've never had it insured under my name.

But would love to do a Festiva road trip, may leave the wife at home on it because she doesn't like how small the Festy's are. Which makes it a selling feature some times. >=)

I have a 3/4" breaker bar along with 3/4" drive impact sockets that won't crack.
I'll split the body down the middle before I let a bolt get the better of me.

Tried removing the rear struts but the lower bolt on the driver side wont budge...cracked my socket. Now I think my electric impact is pooched too! Passenger side came out fine so I just tightened it back up.

Running rear maxima kyb grp 2 strut springs in the front now though lol.

Ordered some KYB GR2s for the front.

Had 2 sets of 4 new tires put on Squig & Shadow and switched Shadows tires to Blue. I put the old tires that came off Blue, back on Red. now Red is back on all fours.

Blue is now Avery's (G-dines's son) car to drive since he has graduated from High School. Now I have to figure out why Blues headlights are not working all of a sudden.

I finally put the LX seats in Squig. Looks very nice!

Up next: Put a new battery in Squig and change the battery terminal connectors. Put the old battery in Red and install a radiator, I got from UPAP, in Red. Red should be ready to fire back up since the battery explosion.

Bought a non-running 91 Capri, 135K, std., 5-speed. Now gonna have to learn about fuel injection. There is a blue wire in the harness near behind the battery that has pulled out of its plug. Problem is there isn't a blue wire in any of the plugs near this loose one. PO said the car wouldn't start one time when this wire was knocked loose. Car will run on starting fluid so it has ignition. The wire must has something to do with fuel. Do I need to post this question in a certain section?

Wish me luck,

Moved Farmstiva next to the new one, touched up some paint on Farmstiva. Have an idea of what I'm going to do with the new one, just need to plan a mockup to see how practical it's going to be. Floating between two ideas right now, and one of those ideas leans towards something that's been done here before.. so putting a bit more weight on the other because of that..

Fix your idle or at least help?

I don't know, haven't started it up yet. lol

But I don't think it will, the cap blew off once for whatever reason, and replaced it with one I think was too small, so it split.
Put one on that was slightly bigger, but still gave a nice snug fit.

Found a split vacuum cap, replaced it.

I'll be driving down at a normal rate of speed

No more bad luck rabbit!
What speed are you intending to travel down to Ohiostiva?
180 km/hr +? If so, I would advise having an extra timing belt in your trunk.
I will allow you to purchase one Mega Millions ticket while you are down there. The jackpot will be ~$170M if nobody wins on Tuesday.

[TorqueEffect]

New timing belt on today and no sign of internal damage so ohiostiva is looking good again lol

Woo! :thumbs_up:
