This state does not allow windshield coverage!! I was shocked! Turns out the state mandated a ton of laws that restrict how you can spend your money on your insurance. I was angry that I can NOT get $0 deductible. Why not!? its my money, why should the state tell me I cannot insure my vehicle against broken windows with no deductible? I hate insurance. :angryfire:

They had to take pictures to submit to corporate so they had a file... HA!
And I adjusted the air bypass valve, turns out the previous owner had adjusted the throttle body to not allow it to function.Last edited by Huli; 02-11-2013, 08:44 PM.

That was the GTX I thought, and it was actually a destroked B6D, the B6 block has siamesed bores as far as I know so it's a tiny bit different from a poked n' stroked B3

- Received a brand new (NOS) front windshield wiper arm in the mail that I bought on e-Bay.
- Bought a manual driver's side mirror (just the glass) on e-Bay.
- Checked on ordering a new cigarette lighter from the local Ford Dealer for Twistiva (don't smoke but my old one is trashed and fixing up my Festy)
- Went to a Ford dealer here in town to compare 2 blue colors....the original 1988 Ford Festiva blue (can't rememer what they called it) and a 2013 blue used on F-150 trucks....called 'Blue Flame Metallic'.

That really makes me wonder, why on earth wasn't it an engine option when these were new? Hell even the performance models in japan didn't have a bigger engine. The Festiva GTA I believe it was called?

Installed a 4 stage shift light and tach from autometer. I am hoping I will see the colours flash in peripheral vision, and shift while drifting sideways toward a snow bank, instead of distracting myself by actually looking at the tach. I also moved the oil and water gauges from down below the roll bar to up on the dash where I can see them while still looking out the windscreen at the marshal stations.

Originally posted by 1990new View PostMight consider clutch assembly, pilot bearing (not VOR or ADF related), and rear main seal also. No gasket between engine and transaxle...just the backplate.
Thanks for the list of other parts to get and/or check!Last edited by Twistiva; 02-10-2013, 11:51 PM.
