What have you done to your Festiva today!?

Might consider clutch assembly, pilot bearing (not VOR or ADF related), and rear main seal also. No gasket between engine and transaxle...just the backplate.

[Prafeston]

Question: Besides cleaning it up, is the only thing you need to do to get ready to install it is buying a new transmission 'lip' gasket? (ie, where the transmission case mounts to the engine)

Is there a gasket for the transmission to engine? I don't remember seeing one when I removed it...I did buy new axle seals.

I bought it. Well, an Aspire.

Had a 200k party!!!

Congrats!

I remember when my Festy his 123,456.7 miles. I drove back and forth along a deserted road on base at lunchtime just so I could hit that magic number and take a pix of the odometer....didn't want it to roll through that sequential numbering and me not realize it. I took the pix :thumbs_up: but it turned out too blurry to see any of the numbers. :thumbs_down:

Congrats on the 200K!

Rafe -

Looks a ton better! Gotta do that exact same thing to a 5-spd I bought for my Festiva. I plan to paint mine when I get it all cleaned up in late Spring.

Yesterday....

Bought 4 of these:

7 - XXR Wheels Model 008 15x6.5 4x114.3 offset 42 - AVNmotorsports.com - item 00856082 79.99.jpg

With plans to make them look like this:

7.1 - XXR-008.jpg

Why not just buy 4 of the wheels in the all-silver style? Can't get them anymore in the 15" size so I had to buy the wheels in the predominantly black style and will have to paint them. Oh well, they'll look killer when they're on there....

Is a trans like easily movable by one person? Is that a 5-speed?

Yeah, I can lug it around pretty easy and I'm a small guy. And yes it is a 5 speed.

Nice intake. What is that?

I changed the oil in mine today. And I think the clattering noise at idle I suspected of being a collapsed lifter is actually my rod knock issue getting worse.
At least I have a backup car now for when this engine goes. I'm already researching B6 swap stuff.

Intake upgrade!
