    • Broke my old 02 sensor getting it off, and still couldn't get it off. Broke it off the rest of the way so I could use the breaker bar, lol. That thing was IN THERE!!!

      Hopefully that helps my MPG.
      Buck.

        Yeah, East coast has got it goin on! Though there a some fast B6Ts out in Cali and AZ... and of course those crazy canadians, eh Chris? And lets not forget our peeps in Aus and Philipines, and even in Russia with the B3D motor. Festiva Madness is EVERYWHERE! Lol. but yeah, East coast (especially NC) has finally begun to steal Ohio's thunder a little in terms of concentration of festivas/members

        So, yesterday I hit up the jy, got B6 injectors, ignition module (same for all Festiva, 323, protege, EGT, basically all the B series), a couple of horns, and a handful of grill clips Injectors and ignition module are in, and Barbie Car now runs under her own power with all her own parts. Still gotta close the resonator box back up so she will be able to idle right, but she should be driveable by the end of the day!
        No festiva for me ATM...

            • Car wouldn't start today, my big boy accel coil I replaced last winter with the same issue, let me down this morning. So I swapped the stock back in to limp me to work, first stop out of my neighborhood, the l/f starts grinding. Time to switch to msd coil and buy some brakes... Happy Monday to me!
              Im not driving a Festiva because I'm poor. I drive a Festiva because i want to!

              • Bought a brand new NAPA 20 gallon 1.5HP compressor for $200 to add to the festiva garage in the basement. Thats CL prices for a brand new unit! Also finished up the chopped resonator box for Danny's car, should be done by the end of the day under the hood, may have to save rear brakes for tomorrow though. Can't wait for the mini-meet this weekend!

                      • Lol, been using phone to take a few crappy pics throughout the whole process lol. Once its done and I won't have dirty hands I'll steal wifey's camera and take some real pics. This is with everything in place under the hood except the exhaust heat shield (which is on now) and the other PCV hose.

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