      However, this may help me with my delivery times. Although a time pauser would be best for that
      Tivo capacitor?

                    My wheels are ICW "Something Or Others", 7 spokes, allegedly 38mm offset, but they are WIDE (for a Festiva anyway), thus necessitating spacers. I've heard that if I install an Aspire rear strut/shock, its spring perch is higher off the tire and the spacer issue will likely be a moot point then.
                    I can't usually get too aggressive with it because I always have my son strapped in the front seat and it's never running quite right...

                    But when I hit 60, 65, I pretty much don't slow down, so curves with 45mph safety sign aren't making them rub either.

                      Holy crap! That's another festiva, or three!
                      Hopefully it is super reliable now. Post up some pics of your festy.

                      • E-for-E trans swap. Gotta use what I have. Been missing sitting in that seat pretty bad. Next up: warranty LCAs.

                        • .... How is this setup working out since you install it? Give us some details.

                          It's an eBay kit I got for about $17. Seems to be made alright and was very easy to install.
                          A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.

                          • The lines have a coating of oil in them and the canister is catching some oil. I unscrewed the cap from the bottom and oil drained out. It hasn't showed up in the sight glass yet.
