    • Recieved my metal vent visors I got from another member today. Cleaned them up & tried to install. Can't figure out how. Don't know how the clips work.:laughing4: Like the stock pile Fresh, someday if I'm lucky I too will be a Festy mogul!

Man this thing handles like a GO CART!!! NO body roll now. Aspire sway bar in the front. Aspire axle beam with built in bar. Aspire stiffer struts/springs on the front. Festiva rear struts with festiva front springs cut. All of that adds up to SOLID handling. Wow what a difference. I have aspire swapped one other festy but I haven't driven it yet. It's the BP waiting for wiring.

            • I have been to the Festiva Ranch in the woods and yes it is The Holy Ground of Festiva parts and the Johnsons are great hosts.

                Hopefully we will have another KC/area meet this year and you can make it again. Did you see the thread in the events meet forum ?

                  • Aspire rear axle installed, bled the rear brakes, wheel studs installed in the back. Suspension, other than struts and springs, is now all Aspire!

                          • I was also paying attention to all of the aspire swaps makes me feel nuts for not already doing it. At least I can look forward to buying an already aspire swapped car in the future if everyone is doing it.

                              • Pulled the rear bumper off and cleaned it up and prepped it to be repainted. But realized I didn't have enough white paint to finish so it will be black until I go back to work and get some more white paint. Also put all my interior back together after pulling it out from getting wet (tail light gaskets) power washed the carpet looks great! Even though it looked pretty good in the first place. Also hooked up the cargo light.
