What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[frankenfester]

Nice work with LCA's, the plasti-dip job on the wheels too. What size tires did you go with?

I ended up getting some federal formoza fd1's in 165/55r14. Theyre about .67" wider than the stock 155/80s and the diameter is pretty dang close so they'll clear with no suspension issues.
The plasti dip was cheap and fun to do. You really cant mess it up. I thought I did a couple times, but once it dries it starts smoothing over nicely. Best part is I can just peel it off if I ever wanna go back to the machined look.
Those lcas were a pain untik someone mentioned drilling through the side there. After rhat it was a cake walk.

What about kick panels?

Not sure if there are any Festiva/Pride/121 panels available, but an existing one for another car could be modded; or you can fabricate one.

Oh man those are going to be awesome when you get them all finished up!

Thanks! I would say, that those are going to be the nicest pieces of the whole install. I have 3-way speakers, mids are 6,5" and bass 8". Most likely I'm istalling mids in original places, over the grills , not nice, but didn't find any another reasonable place for them.. Bass is going to doors, rear quarter...

Noticed that my fuelpump is swetting litlle bit, not leaking yet. Ordered new pump from ebay.co.uk for 4,99£ + shipping 6,50£.
Not bad!

Also started making places for tweeter in a-pillars.

lol. Well good to know they are dual pattern. Cause finding a salvageable aspire rear beam is hard it seems, but rio stuff can be had all day. And I saw those rims but they were 4x100 on tire rack for 79 a piece to. Looks like I know what i'll be doing in a few weeks....

Yeah. Heres a pic of the box specs so you know exactly what to look for. I think discount tire can order them for you too if you cant find them. But honestly, I'd dig a bit before pulling the trigger because my original AR estrellas I got for 65$ a piece

I was thinking about buying those rims after i (ever) get my swap done. Looking good.

These are a dual lug pattern. with a 35mm offset (which is recommended on the stock festy setup). 14x6" and i ordered them direct through American racing for 79 a piece shipped. the dual pattern would be nice, at least until your swap is done, so you can just rotate them to the aspire (which is what i'm assuming you're talking about) pattern.
and yeah, that plasti dip lays nicely. i was worried because there was a texture to it after a couple coats, but once they started drying a little more it evened out nicely. and home depot has that stuff (only in black) for $5.88/can +tax.

Popped in the New lca's and poly bushings the other day. Took some rednecking to get the bolts out, but she handles like a dancing queen.

Also plasti dipped my new American Racing 14 estrellas in prep for the new tires which should arrive sometime this week
Then EARLY this morning changed out my already swapped pedals for some new ones that match the interior a little better

Not actually on my festiva, but they will be. I started making some new rear tail lights, and on the last cut of the plastic, my scroll saw blade broke.... pics soon hopefully.

[Potta]

Washed and drove it tested out the A/C and heater , had a ball through my favorite twisties on the way home.

[navdoc101]

Drove to Lakeland & got Escort seats from Flyin4stroke. I need my A/C looked at, not real cold.

[Spike]

Drove it to the junker ...








..to hunt for parts! Haha.

Great snag today.. they had a fresh '90 L-Plus with two brand new (I mean brand-spankin'-new, 1/2 inch tread) 12 inch tires, which they charged me $10 each for (with wheels!), and a 128k white tach cluster! Ohh yeah. Someone got there first and took the headlights and taillights, and I'm assuming the other two tires.. I can't understand why they didn't grab all four, they took them all off.. then laid two under the car o_O.

The interior was really nice, too, but I didn't need any more stuffz piling up (which probably means I'll go back next weekend to feed the addiction).

While I'm on the subject, anyone want to buy a white tach cluster?
