What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[jason_]

Rollin home in the 1.3, saw a Mercedes with a blown ball joint, resulted in cv shaft pulling apart, which dumped cv balls onto pavement.... and in the process of going around the disabled vehicle.....

Quick thinking! Hardened steel balls, covered in grease and rock hard 13" tires! Clipped a cv ball, shot out, as pavement wouldn't bite the carbon steel, grease wouldn't let rubber hold a grip, and small hard tire wouldn't roll over,

Giant BB gun! Ball shot out to the side and whacked a dent in the disabled vehicles passenger door!

Score for the 1.3!!!

I've always ran mine around 1 or 2 psi under max @sidewall. It allows for better performance especially on a lower profile tire. The 32 is just recommended for a "comfy" ride per what people who install tires think they know

The Escort dome light with map lights is such a great easy cheap upgrade!

Escort dome light, finally. First successful application for a Festiva.

It's nice having a light in the darn car. :p

Now, go to AZ, get the LED upgrade light, HUGE improvement!

The red sport interior is rare and you could probably sell it pretty easy. I'm guessing you might already have PMs with people inquiring!

Navdoc.....Not a big fan of the restripe stuff...i like the seperate head rests and yes the holy ones are cool, but hard to find, these were hard enough to come across/I got lucky....I've got someone asking for the red stripe stuff already...not sure if its rare or not.
I love this little car. Take care...Mark

Even wear from shoulder to shoulder. Fronts round, naturally, but back tires after 20,000 miles wear even across, so it's apparent a bit of over inflation is OK. If your mounting skinnies on fatties you'll probably upset the shoulder. Cheap tires that are less ply, they may balloon on the center I'm not sure, possibly if fatties on skinnies as the center will rise outward. . I stay at least 3ply on face if I over inflate a fuzz.

Trucks 8/10 ply, trailers 16/18 ply on sides.
But all I run is 8bolt/FF...... So it's basically a set standard in my book.

I run about 40PSI front and 38PSI rear on my Stivas. Never had funny wear due to inflation.

I run my truck tires (265/75R16 BFG All Terrain) at 70PSI and get a hint of center wear on the rears. Rotation cures that.

pulled the pan off my jy auto & found black fluid & a metalflake covered magnet. Back to square 1.

tires don't wear funny with that psi

Hehe. I'm crazy.

I run 50 or so on these stamped @40.

Turns so much easier on pavement. I do a lot of parking lot driving, 50-60 times I'll Park. No power steering, every psi helps.

Navdoc....it did happen....not real attractive with the two materials....but thats an easy fix. You likey?

LOL, I like the Backs with the holey headrest. Now swap the same cushions in. You don't like the red stripes? I always thought the Sort interior was rare.

new seats 005.jpgFinished my LX interior install.....so happy with it......

--new seats 009.jpgSpike....yep...thats my GL red stripe interior......who wants my left overs? Just let me know. I don't want the red stripe stuff....here is the complete install. Eventually I'll have these recovered with freshy new material.

I also dialed my fuel pressure down to 39 from 40lbs.

On the long drive to madness
I noticed when floored it would bog slightly

So the drop in 1lb
Helped lean things out a bit.
Now at wot it doesn't go too rich.
At least that's what my butt dyno says.
