What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Spike]

Cut off the cat on the '89.. runs a lot better. A lot of my trouble was an 80%-filled converter.

Plus, now it sounds awesome.

Not what I did to the Festiva but with... took a drive up to Canmore for the afternoon with Sharon. Took Highway 1A instead of the main highway, the Trans Canada. Watch for a blog post under Favorite Drives part 2 coming soon.

Washed it, and took it to meet Charlie1717. Sonik was there too for a surprise appearance....

thanks again to Charlie for stopping in Nashville and bringing my go kart to me.

Took a pic while chillin with Mike and Charlie.

Got my JY trans installed, along with trans oil cooler & RIO struts as well as some misc. Didn't have the time to install the JY front bumper though.

Anyone know offhand if the 2dr & 4dr rear bumpers are interchangeable?

First custom mod escort dome light, next Persian rug headliner! Be on the lookout.

Rich Norman (the guy that started this site).

He rally raced back in the early nineties. He made two of them. The other was destroyed in a crash.

Kinda rare I guess

I'd agree, that's rare.

I would find moving everything to a new shell to be more work than fixing the rust. Also finding a rust free shell off a car that isn't expensive is nigh impossible, and if you do you will have to travel a ways to get it.

Already got one in the yard "resting".

I'll listen to a v8, only if both banks are Xed together.

V8 with true duels sounds hideous. Pair of 4 bangers fighting each other. Rates side by side with 3 cylinders in my book.

Wow, looks like I will get the Intermediate pipe sooner than I expected, lol. Aparently one of rockauto's exhaust warehouses is in Ohio, and that is where it is being shipped from.

Ordered early Friday, shipped out at 6pm Friday, Estimated Delivery is Saturday.
I won't have the muffler from Autozone until next Tuesday.

Guess I can still fit it to the car until then. :p

At least the B3 is a very quiet motor in terms of exhaust noise. Unlike those damn Suzuki 1.0l 3 bangers in the metros/swifts/fireflys.

^My current one came from PA, and the floor is going quickly as well as being in a wreck before I got it and other things. Just not worth losing any hair over. I have a mint shell that I'll swap stuff over to probably next spring or summer. Till then it's the handyman's secret weapon all the way.

Ordered a Intermediate pipe from Rockauto, and went to autozone and ordered a muffler. So next week I should have a proper exhaust on the car, not some 2" aftermarket deal that is rusted all to hell. Going to coat my new exhaust in exhaust paint, so then the only corrosion will be from inside due to condensation.

Word. Never waste time or money on rust. Especially in the rust belt.

With that attitude there will eventually be no more Festies left in the Rust belt.

Installed the bumperette that bravekozak sent me on Trixie.
Also installed the trailer lights wire hookup on Bessie.

Duct taped a hole in the body and spray painted it to pass inspection.

Was going to do it up nicer, but couldn't find the tub of bondo, and this body is going anyway.
