In standard view.
I drove mine today. And bought a set of driving lights. I'm going to play with them and see if they can effectively improve my high beams.

Moved it in the garage to hide from this supposed snowpocalypse.

I finished my swap!!
KIA front (2004)
KIA springs -1.5 coils
Aspire rear
14in rims
Monroe struts all around.

Rides like a dream!

2004 KIA Rio? I thought the swap was only good for the 2001-2002 KIA Rios. Did I miss something?

Yeah...and you are a bit far away. I might be better off pawning the work off on a local Festy owner!

P.S. Today I finally got my Festy into the shop to have the transmission replaced! Unfortunately my buddy got busy and couldn't get the car into the shop till 2:15 and he had to leave at 3. So he got the axles out and the fluids drained, but that's it. And now we have a huge winter storm tomorrow and he doesn't think he'll be able to work on it tomorrow. Might not get the dang thing back til Monday! Crossing my fingers the weather doesn't get too bad and he can get some work done tomorrow...or at least finish up on Friday.

The list of things to do while it's in the shop:
Rear main seal
Axle Seals
Valve cover gasket
Oil/filter change
New Bushings in the Shift Linkage
Civic Short Shifter
Having him inspect the cooling system as I think there is a leak
Having him inspect the brakes as I think there is a leak
Lube the speedo cable
Check the spark plugs

After I sent him all that I said, "I know it's long, but I think that's everything. Haha" He wrote back, "You forgot one thing. A new car" Told him one day he might have to help me do a B6T or BPT!!!

Hardest part is getting the parts

[Prafeston]

Awesome! Now come do mine...it's the same color so it will be like you're doing it to your own ride...except you'll probably do it better cause you've got one swap under your belt!

- Messed around with some stripe options on my Festy that's being repainted now.

- Ordered an NOS cigarette lighter with orange symbology.

- Took about 50 pix of some cars at the Ford dealership as I try to decide what blue to paint my Festiva.

- Bought 3 (of 4) window "belt" tracks....inside and outside for the passenger side door, the inside for the driver's side door (didn't have the outside one for the driver's door in stock; Brave Kozak says no one has it).

- Posted this!

What was the total price?

(for a left and right side window channel stripping)

I'm at work right now so I'm guessing at the price but I think it was about $55.00.

Fourgreen. Items were about $22-23 and the shipping was a little more than $30.

Pictures would be greatly appreciated if you every get a chance.

When I take my door cards out to paint, I will take some pics then.

Though it will have to wait until a warm day.

This the kit you are talking about?

That one will definitely work, that one is actually better than the one I used since the slotted metal strips are longer, and should fully reach crossed the holes in the door so you can mount the actuators. Mine were shorter so I had to double up the strips to make em longer.

Though this is the exact kit I used, from the exact same seller.

If it wasn't so cold outside, I would take apart my doors and show you guys how I mounted mine.
Yes, you will need to drill holes inside your doors, at least that is how I mounted mine.

After months of use, have had zero problems with them.

I finally got my dome light to come on when the doors are opened. So much rust on the screws it wasnt getting any kind of connection, lol I love living in the northeast

[Oren09]

Basically, but without the remote.
I want to wire it to an alarm and remote start system as well.
