      1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

          • Hey guys. I haven't been on lately been busy with work. I replace the fuel filter n just been running the hell out of my Festiva still working great.
            Has anyone attempted to install power actuators from a mini van for the rear vent widows? I have a set with wires and the switches, and when I get some free time I want to try it out.

              I know people have done it for power locks, especially in the hatch. It certainly can be done..

                • On my way into work, took off from a stop sign, shifted into 3rd, bang. Now it sounds like rocks in diff. Still moved enough to limp to a gas station at the intersection. No leaks, but still probably destroyed the trans. Good thing I have a spare.

                  • Pulled the garbage Bosch +4s I put in a few weeks ago.
                    Threw the old Champions that were in the car when I bought it back in since they were still in good shape, car is running like a top now.

                    Went and got my money back for those garbage Bosch plugs.
                    The guy was puzzled why they even had those +4s listed in their computer for the Festiva. He said something along the lines of your not supposed to run those in a Festiva.

                    Oreily's probably only had them listed for the car because they fit, that is it.

                    • The +4 plugs are designed for high compression engines and large cylinder bores. They dont' run properly on low-power ignition systems because the platinum coating requires a much higher ignition voltage than standard copper plugs to fire.

                      In order to properly use +4's on your vehicle, you'd need to upgrade your ignition system as well, and use low-impedance wires.

                      • Switched out my trans with my spare F. Tore the old one apart to find 3rd gear had explided all the teeth off the input shaft and 90% of the secondary shaft. Yay me... :s

                          • Left it parked in the Garage and enjoyed driving my Camaro for a change... Now I"m having second thoughts about getting rid of the Camaro, since they both have the same MPG figures and the Camaro drives and handles much better than the Festiva. :/
