What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[DrMaxwellEdison]

Finally getting around to replacing mom's B3 head on the 90L tomorrow afternoon

Festdiva's P.O. must have dropped his cigar in the back seat. It fell in the fold thus burning both the upper and lower seat covers. Did some swapping with Deathrace2000 for a replacement today. I had a good cover for a replacement but installing a different seat was much easier. If anyone needs the blue stripe covers I have a good set.

I thought that freshtiva and fesdiva were the two you bought brand new together.

Marcus, you still have that rear seat cover I sold you?

[runner406]

I looked at them both and wondered when id have time to do anything for myself ugh

It was Freshtiva ( formerly Big Bertha ) and Lil Bertha ( the wifes 1st ) that we bought togather. Diva came from Kansas City Kansas, Eric Smith turned me on to it.

Those are the ones pictured, just never got around to installing them.

what I've done

Well not sure where else 2 put this so yea. I pull the white dash out of my car and put n an orange cluster. I put in a split back seats. Drilled the holes in the air box. Put in the switch for the automatic mirrors also put passenger side mirror on. I have a car with tilt steering n the junk yard thinking of doing that next. But I am kind of board doing all this alone. Trying. 2 figure out how to post the right pics 2 this sucks

Brake booster got busted, so I replaced with a new one. Not that easy, I had to pull out the steering column from the U joints. Bled the master thru the fittings again but this time, only few pumps on the pedal pushed the air out

Kartracer46, Scitzz & I did a rear spring upgrade Saturday: replaced the anemic rear springs with Festiva front springs. No more fenders scrubbing on the rear tires! I may need to cut off one coil to get the ride height where I want it... the car is definitely "nose-down" now.

Did I mention we wrung the head off several bolts in the process & thus were compelled to play with high current electrical welding toys?

You can lower the rear about 3/4" by removing the lower rubber bushing from the tower and replacing it with a nylon washer backed by a steel washer. You can gain another 1/4" by removing the lower shock bushing and replacing it with either delrin or aluminum bushing milled with an offset hole. That might keep you from cutting the springs if you only need an inch or so. The first mod will pre-load the spring slightly, though, which makes it slightly harder. If you do the lowers, drill a hole in the bushing sleeve and pin the new bushing in place so it can't rotate.

we'd like to know more... is that go pro (or similar) on the left side there?

My batteries kept dying on me, even my brand new 340 cca lawn mower battery. So I put my dvom on it and it was only reading 12.83 volts. I thought, hmmm, let me tighten up the belt a little bit. Now it reads 14.3 volts and the dash lights are so bright at night.
