What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[frankenfester]

^I don't generally "make sure". Only thing I watch is the dizzy cap. Only time I've had an issue after clean-up was when I put pressure water on the cap.

But I'm sure better safe than sorry.

What color are you making the valve cover?

Im making it white. Ans since my spark wires are red from Accell, all the trimmings are red

I once thought the dissy had moisture but it didnt. Water got in the TPS and was causing some terrible idling and acceleration. Took me forever to find that because I never thought it mattered.

Did a :twisted:HARDCORE:twisted: CC clean with a potent homebrew cocktail, and degreased the engine bay some more. Also converted to 3/4x16 oil nipple to run the bigger and cheaply available Escort filter, and threw in an oil change with 5w-20.

Seems to run better after smoking for a good 15 minutes. MPG will tell if it really is.

I did the degreasing yesterday and im here to tell you that was a pain. Making sure all the electrical stuff didnt get water in it.

I installed an intermittent wiper switch ....

.... and put in a better Festy mirror. My other one started getting a little loose and would not always hold position.

Last thursday, on way to work, noticed my speedo wasnt working, friday I went to PnP, got another cable and installed it.
Its nice to have a working speedo!

I have done nothing but drive me Festiva for awhile now. Put probably 500 miles on it this weekend. I hauled 2 sets of Festiva wheels with tires and a set of Cherokee wheels to Kansas City this weekend where I spent all of Saturday trying to get my other project running. Unfortunately no luck. But here's a pic of the two vehicles together!

Having alignment done as I type.

In the spirit of the discussion I had a very festiva-ey weekend. Got the floor pans, pinchweld and, inner rockers welded in on the '90. where to begin on the 91? replaced front struts after one snapped trying to move the car into the garage, got the motor out of the automatic car switched over to clutch so it was ready to bolt up, got all the seals changed in the donor motor as well. After that I wire wheeled the block and head, painted the bock with high temp ceramic paint, and painted the exhaust manifold with flame-proof aluminum paint, then began scrubbing down the engine compartment with degreaser:nightmare:

oh and I turned 460,000 miles with my '89banana time91 festiva 2.jpg91 festiva 3.jpg91 festiva 4.jpg
