What have you done to your Festiva today!?

Yanked out the Planet Audio dvd headunit and put the basic Pioneer CD/AUX headunit back in.

Much better sound quality, and not as finicky.

If you are still running 50 50 coolant I would go up to like 80 or 85 percent coolant remember race cars use a lot more water than antifreeze to dissipate heat. try doing it backwards

When I had more money than brains, I used to run straight 20 in the winter and 30 in the summer. Now 10W30 multigrade all the time.

Read "Bob is the oil guy", google it. All oil is the same at operateing temp. Just different at startup, where you need the thinner oil .

Try 90w.. Did that.. Engine was running like a dream.

Gone down to -15, using rotella 15w40 motor a TAD sluggish but no valve tick.

Glad to hear another man that believes in viscosity! Thin oil shoots out the journals

Cushion for the pushin! Erm, I mean, bearings....

Is there a substance that isn't bad for the engine that will allow more heat buildup rather than use the cardboard? Sounds like a hard thing to explain to an insurance company

Sheet iron drooped front and back over top.
What I did a few years ago, while neglecting the $4 thermostat.... Heh

Knock? Check the firing order for giggles. 1342 ccw on the distributor

Not what I did, but what the guy who bought it did... finally got it running by replacing the spark plugs and wires [which was all it really needed to be started when I parked it], but noticed it had a bit of a knock [I already told him it's not a bearing, it's because there's a bad injector, but he doesn't believe me], so he's putting a Miata BP into it, I guess.

In any event, they pulled it up out of the yard and into the driveway so it can be hauled/driven out of there after Christmas [so within a week or so, I guess]... and so ends the legacy of the blue Festiva. I'll miss the little... car. [I have others... and probably will soon acquire 2-3 more.]

I'm having the lifter noise as well on way to work but my other b3 is not where I can get at it so I'm just hoping for warmer weather and just keep driving it. I imagine it's probably a little more oil burn causing damage doing this because you're not getting a good lift. Oh well have you seen the Z series thread haha

My phone really wants to wash everything out but my car has tan interiorand my console is gray. I discovered rustolrums version of billymays flex seal leaves behind a really nice texture I hit my step rails with it in black and it looks sharp. I kick them all the time and it has not come off yet. I will probably hit my console black for a budget match up

Yeah, past couple days on startup been having lots of lifter clatter. Used to be just one lifter now I am hearing 2 or 3. I would run sea foam or mmo, but I'd rather not open plugged up leaks that I know I have. Like I know my rear main is leaking, but slowly enough that I don't have to worry about it.
