What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[txranger14]

got my weber carb in the mail and my struts from oreillys today!

[Damkid]

I actually drove mine today, roughly 100km on it

Felt great to finally enjoy it again

[TorqueEffect]

Rotated the tires, removed the IAC valve to soak in some MMO, retested the tps, guess I didn't move it far enough before because it came out of adjustment again, so I re-adjusted it and retested, tightened it down, and tested again.

[Miah]

Installed my htchbck rebuilt front hubs, all inner & outer tie-rods along with boots, 2 new front tires, front end alignment, & finally some horribly cheap wheel covers.

[TorqueEffect]

Replaced some vacuum caps, and the PCV hose, and still can't figure out the high idle, and the loping by 50 rpms.

Disconnected the IAC valve plug, wouldn't stay running without it connected.

Hooked up the B3 ECU to see if the B6 ecu was playing up, it ran like complete butt on the B3 one.

Grounded the STI, and tried setting the idle lower, and idles quite rough at anything under 1k.

I am at a loss. I have saturated every possible area that could have a vacuum leak with starting fluid, and nothing.

About to go try the B3 VAF, and see how that works out.

Just ordered a new Pioneer head unit and 6.5" speakers for the doors. Finally came up with some extra cash and got annoyed by my current head unit, just rear speakers/sub, and right-channel-only fm transmitter.

The new deck is digital with bluetooth, aux and fm (no disc player). Now to find time to install it before I start working 50 hours a week and take 6 credit hours for the summer lol

If you remove the door panels, you will find cutouts that will hold the 6.5 speakers. Both my cars have/will have them in the doors. I'm using Kicker 6.5's in the doors with a Pioneer radio. Sound is very good. My silver 90 has a 10" sub and together they shake the car with a little over 150 watts total power.

I don't have door speakers, I have the 2 in the back and it looks like I'm supposed to have 2 more in front on each side of lower dash.....?

If you don't mind cutting holes in your door cards, and drilling screw mounting holes, then running wires through to the doors, you can mount them there. It looks like they planned on having door speakers, but never went through with it.

You can just stick with 4" speakers in the stock locations, but I feel 6 1/2" speakers give allot better bass, and sound overall than any 4" speaker can give.

6 1/2" Pioneers in the doors 4 inch pioneers in the back. That's my suggestion. :p

Went to jy with Karl and pulled some wrong parts but got some correct ones too. Anyway got home and started on engine mounts again. Got it lined up and where I want it. Now to start cutting, bending, and welding.

[txranger14]

pulled the old carb out to make way for the new one. no wonder it revved up high and low so much, almost every vacuum hose had leaks or was frayed.

[Pu241]

Pulled the spindle caps to find out I have crush nuts instead of the castellated nut and carter key.
So have to buy new ones for the new drums/bearings/seals going on soon.
And maybe find out why I have no rear brakes.
Guess I better have a set of new brake shoes just incase too.

Pulled all of the a/c system besides the wiring and evaporator. That condenser is a REAL bear to get in and out. Also fixed the memory function on the Prelude seat, one little spring came off, just found where it was supposed to go and bam, no more manually adjusting the seat after leaning it forward.

....finally installed a radio, now to replace all 4 speakers....

Anyone have any recommendations?

Did a cooling system hydrocarbon "bong" test on the sporty.

Then I ordered a head gasket.
