What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Tommychu]

Pulled a Stylus bumper, marveled at how ridiculously awful the Stylus actually is as a vehicle in general, and ugly to boot. Don't think I've ever seen one before today.
Whatever. I'm joining the Stylus bumper club after I get my tranny working or swapped out.

Added an inch to each lower control arm..
equalized the inner cv angles by rotating and dropping the transmission.
More to go here..but the car has a 4 inch lift in the front now.
Moved the front wheels forward a 1/2 inch longer wheel base.

broke it?

replaced thermostat. forgot to get a gasket, so a little leaking til tomorrow. replaced valve cover gasket, broke a bolt because apperently its only tightened to in-lbs, not ft-lbs. fail x2.

Im surprised the head allowed you to break it. Don't try that with the dizzy bolts, lol

Looks like I lined up the third and final spare driver for the FestivaL, so Chuck, FestEvil, Green Car and Babystiva should all make it there Thanks Michael!

Put the new front tires on Babystiva this morning and did a little bit of DIY alignment in the driveway. It tracks pretty straight now, and the drivers side toe-in is fixed which means the steering wheel is now pretty much centered right as well Also found a broken vacuum "T" where I had spliced into a vac line to run the ATX vacuum modulator. Replaced it an installed a longer line so hopefully it won't break again. I also realized in driving her that she isn't as sluggish as I remembered her being, did a comp test and compression isn't too bad so I think FestEvil will be getting the motor that I have about 1/2 way rebuilt in the garage. Hopefully getting a trans for him today too so I will do all that at once to save some time. I have a feeling this day isn't over yet as far as festivas go

Lubed the caliper pins and did another bleed on the Aspire swap. Still pulsates which I don't understand since neither car did before. Not that firm either but that's probably due to the smaller MC.

Swapped one tire over to the new painted rim (Nothing fancy) so now i have anothe rim to scuff and paint. Also filled up without getting out of the car (Getting the nozzel lined up was a pain.

Thinking about pulling the computer for the seatbelts and just manually connecting the belts (I hate auto belts). Also thinking about putting new seats in.

Got all the pistons back in the b3 forgot the head bolts at the house so the head will be going back on tomorrow. Also got my transmissions might take a crack at one of them tomorrow.

Pull the BELT fuse. That way you can easily reactivate the belts if you need too.

[neanderpaul]

^ yes

I would just assume put manual belts in it(but can't afford new belts right now). But i'm thinking the computer is going to be in the way of where i want to mount something anyway.

... Put some Dawn on the alt belt.

[shadetree]

Hit a deer this morning on my way to work ...

[HondaSlayer]

That sucks. It should be an easy fix atleast. Hope the deer didn't make it. I hate deer. And atleast your corner lights made it.

[kellen302]

Doesn't look like anything internal bent, a new grill, headlight, and a hammer for the hood should fix it.

[neanderpaul]

Special bump corner survival for the silver lining win!
