What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[David88]

Just lowered in an Aspire harvested B3.

[Christ]

Wire brushed some rust around the rear bumper mounting points and hit it with some rustoulem. Still need to hit the rear brake lines before they rust through. Hopefully going to get the Aspire's rear suspension in tomorrow. Need to do some work on the tires not sure if I'll have time.

Black tape actually works really well for this and doesn't chip like paint will on the brake lines. Whenever I put new lines on, I wrap them tightly with black tape unless I have enough shrink tubing for them. Then almost never have to replace another line XD

He looks at me, thinks for a second, and just says "Follow me!".

Dear God. I have no traction on gravel, rear springs are getting bad.. usual gravel top speed = 25-30MPH. The kid's going 55-60! Blind corners, hills, potholes! So much jumping! Sliding!

FUNNEST TIME I'VE HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Probably lasted 5 or so miles.

I mean, I've squealed the tires a few times, but that was downright awesome.

Hahaha, thanks for the laugh

[crazyrog17]

Installing ceramic brake pads today, hopefully they'll stop better and decrease dust.

[bravekozak]

The ceramic will stop better than metallic or asbestos pads. But, they will wear your rotors down quicker. I can only afford cheapo asbestos pads + no Gymkhanna.

Welded up a resonated test pipe for Tweak in hopes that ill still have a little of my hearing left after my trip to madness.

Good idea.. the residue alone would get the rust away.

Got the Aspire rear suspension in. I'm amazed how well it rides now. Probably should of cut the springs quite a rake to to it. Next is the front sway bar, radiator, and I might attempt swapping the automatic.

[TorqueEffect]

Painted the A-pillar interior panels black. Painting headliner black tomorrow.

[RhodeStiva]

[TheresGabe]

Went from one 12" subwoofer to two. A single 12" box with a square side port, to a dual 12" bandpass box with 4 round ports. Running them out of phase... It's officially LOUD now.

That little resonator made a huge difference! Pics tomorrow of it installed.
