What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Basement_Modder]

Moved it up to the Garage! Drove it through the neighborhood with no brakes or muffler, which got a lot of laughs from the locals. Had to push it at one point while cutting through the park, which resulted in about 10 kids yelling "I wanna help!" and rushing to assist me, LOL.

Once in the garage, I pulled the hood and seats, but not before flipping the backseat flat just to see it for myself. (Thanks, Neanderpaul. Didn't know it could do that, and I may actually keep it now.)

Next up, TONS of grinding and welding, than aspire swap.

Got my Hella 6.5" driving lights installed (Finally). I used some L brackets from Home Cheapo and mounted them under the grille to the bumper cover mount holes and used real bolts not the plastic screws. Highbeam circuit is red/w and I cut it and strippied it then spliced it with the trigger wire for the lights because the little piercing clip didn't feed enough current.

pulled my cluster for the 2nd time in 3 days to try to resolve a shakey speedo needle... now it's nice and steady, but reads 10+mph too high at highway speeds (3000 rpm used to read 73.5 mph on the nose, now it's over 85 at the same RPM in 5th...)

short of replacing the speedo assembly, i'm not sure what to do... everything else on the unit is perfect.

If any lube gets on to the aluminum hub/disk whatever in the gauge part
it adds more drag to the drag of the magnetic stuff going on..Pulls on the
spring a little harder and make you lie a little more about racing in Mexico!!

[FestYboy]

ah, that's what i though... time for some electronics cleaner!!!

Hit another raccoon.

^^ is this advice to someone or is that a recent experience?

[neanderpaul]

lol!

It has been my personal experience that hitting a raccoon will slow your speedometer down my about 10MPH, so it could be good advice since his speedo is too high

Escort zx2 seat installed. Way more cushion.

[DriverOne]

Lookin' good! Not too much visible difference from stock, either.

[walth]

how much did you have to do to the rails / seat to get those to mesh? looks good

[Oren09]

That would be perfect in a beige interior.

Un hog ringed the stock base and installed the new escort base. Escort back bolts up to stock base.
