What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Flyin4stroke]

Finished up the head swap. Still needs coolant and a oil change. But that's all simple stuff before the first start.

Replaced the "beep" with a "HONK!" Horn from a Pontiac Bonneville.

Put a new clutch in the car, added some Energy Suspension Bushings for the sway bar, new control arm bushings, and new brake hose for the drivers side that had been leaking. Bought the clutch set from Oreilly's, called Brute Force, 86 bucks with an account. I LIKE the way it is set up. It feels really good.





The springs are big and meaty compared to the others I have used. Since I always find flat spots and eventually develop chatter, this gives me some hope. The finger count on the pressure plate is higher, but they are skinnier. Not sure how that is going to effect things. Still, it drives great for a cheapo depot clutch.

I've used BF clutches for years on everything from cars to work trucks... only ever had /one/ that failed prematurely, and I called for the warranty, they replaced the whole kit for free, shipped to my door, no questions asked. That one was about 12 years ago though. Can't say how their policy is now.

Ah, memory wire broke loose, shorted and blew the fuse. All fixed now.

And now I need to figure out why my radio is not coming on now. =/

applied the "Real Drivers use 3 Pedals" Sticker to the back window.

LOVE IT! :mrgreen:

Installed my Scosche radio kit, so now the radio isn't flopping around in the dash, and applied the "Real Drivers use 3 Pedals" Sticker to the back window.

Ordered a set of ITN .020 pistons for my B6 swap motor. $35 including shipping.Thanks for the Rockauto discount code.

Re-packed the bearings on the '89 as it was howling a bit.. realized both rear brakes were sticking a bit (e-brake is rusted apart, need to fix that soon). The bearing grease on the passenger side looked original.. seriously. It was cracked and hard, but the bearing looked good. Took away a bit of the noise.

Funny how I've done bearings so many times on the '90.. I can do both sides in about 35 minutes total, from out of the house to get my tools, jack it up, take it off, slap it back together.

put some exhaust on my new aqua car

b1, those red wheels would look even better on my green Festiva. Are the wheels powder or plasti? I almost thought you had a second mirror on the passenge side. Just a reflection.

Then you would have to name it Xmastiva, lol
The wheels are Plastidip.

I changed my fuel pickup filter today. Replaced it with a Denso. Nice.
Also replaced my shifter stabilizer bushing today. Big difference. Great feel. Nice.

Hooked up with Motoxpress and SVOfanatic, then went to PAP Charlotte and pulled a set of wheels and a full B6T swap from an XR2.

Note: This is the last time I will be using this yard for anything and I discourage anyone else from using their services. Long story short - If I'm going to pay market price then I'll use a yard that charges the same and pulls the parts for me.

Afterwards, we went back to Motoxpress' shop and pulled an all nighter to fab and install my new full stainless steel exhaust system. Fired the car up last night without the muffler and soon realized there was NO WAY I could drive this car on the street without a muffler!!

And although I typically can't stand the sound of straight pipes, I have to admit it sounded really good and reved super fast! I'm thinking of taking a vid and posting it before we install the new muffler :mrgreen:
