What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[1chrisapple]

(Recently)................drawing up different designs for my seats to be reupholstered. A shade of brown/beige with black on the sides. It will look COOL! :-) Also surfing the web for new carpet, talking to an upholstery shop, etc.

(A week ago or so).....bought an underseat tray from 'shadetree'.

(2 days ago).............changed the brakes on the front.

(Today)....................bought a cubby storage bracket (My '88L doesn't have a cubby. Yet.)

bravekozk had the rails for that underseat tray

[1chrisapple]

Bought 4 175/65r14 moto masters today. Haven't installed them yet because Canadian tire "won't install tires that aren't factory". So I'm gonna get a guy to test fit one for me, as I'm sure the clearance (front is cut 1.5coils and the rear perch may be issue) may be a problem.
Time to get the heat gun and baseball bat out I think.

I believe they should work just fine for u.i run 175-70-14 on both mine

What's steering clunk? and how did you fix it?

My steering clunk: when I turned the wheel it had a click/clunk as I drove.....there's a little U-joint where the rack and the column connect and that had worn out....after just 78k...????? But the new/old one fixed it and now I have smooth steering. :thumbs_up:

SE cluster into an aspire. Changed the odometers out.

Nice job and great "write-up".

And my wiper sprayers dont work. They worked before...I know they did, now they dont. I checked the motor, the wires were spliced before but I cut and saudered them back together and no dice. Checked the wires and connector...the connector was loose, threw it back together...still no dice. Pulled the connector apart...there was some coolant in the connector for some reason....hit it with brake cleaner...waited for it to dry...threw it all back together...still wont work. Maybe conveniently the motor blew. I have a spare motor from the aspire.

Same as Inidiana, they spread salt on the roads like a plague. I stole a can of antiseize from work and sprayed the entire underside of the car with it LOL.

Yesterday I installed my new coolant sensor from Crazyrog, but it still doesnt work...and amidst trying to get my idle proper, headlights adjusted, cleaning the garage, fixing that sensor and deleting some vaccuum hoses off the ex-aspire motor I didnt have time to unwrap the harness to see what's going on. Maybe tonight Ill get more time with it after work. On the plus side, the car is as fantastic as you would expect a stock b3 to pwerform on the highway!

Today installed my orange number/lettered tach and speedo, got steering clunk fixed. Slowly but surely getting all the little things fixed up.

Cleaned about 40 pounds worth of junk out of the hatch, and pulled the donut out to throw in one of my old 12" steelies. Never actually inspected the donut, but I am glad I did because there was a huge flat spot on one side with the belt exposed.

On the '89:

Poor man's oil change: 2 quarts Full Synthetic 10W-30, 1.6 quarts cheapest 10W-30 Wal-Mart had (had in the back of the Auto 'cause it burns so much oil). Used old oil to spray underbelly, as it will be snowing in a few days. ONE NANOMETER SNOW = 1,000,000lbs of salt they shall spread. Curse you, Indiana.

Finished complete rear brake job minus left-side leaky wheel cylinder.. line bolts were too rusted to remove without replacing the whole line. Carefully 'rebuilt' cylinder using the new parts, left it alone.. we'll see how it goes. I think it's dragging a bit, the e-brake adjuster was frozen (thought I freed it up, guess not). More fun coming today.

Spent most of the day working on Blue. Replaced the left rear brake line from front to back (9 feet) Put in a 3' line and a 6' line since the auto parts place didn't carry 9'. Bled the brakes all around and now the pedal is solid. The old line had a break in it & I had to crimp it off to get it home when we purchased Blue.
I still need the replace the rear brake shoes and put in new baring's & an axel nut on the right rear.

Fresh, you can look up the particulars on the wheels. I sold them to Karl and they are off of a Mitsubishi Lancer. They are O.Z. Rally Racing wheels and are the ones Charlie has put on several of his Festies. There are several threads around the forum I believe talking about these wheels and what tires fit them well. Wherever they end up I'm glad someone is getting to put them to use. They were just taking up space in my garage and I got a really good deal on them several months ago.
