      • What have you done to your Festiva today!?

        Finally found my spare key to my DD stock 88 LX. I lost my keys, IN THIS HOUSE, a month ago. now I can finally drop my van off to get the exhaust leak fixed. So what did I do to my festiva today? I started it for the first time in a month. Sweet relief.

            Did you take a look at any of the other Festivas in the yard? I know they had a couple. Was curious if there were any goodies still left on the bones!

              Looks like you must have a couple of festivas close by. Found this while looking for a B37613350 sending unit.

              • Interesting! That place is a pain in the arse to deal with. High prices, unfriendly, don't let you in the yard, can't pull your own parts, and I've called asking about Festivas before and they said they don't keep anything older than 10 years...so apparently they are liars as well. Half the time I think they don't even know what cars they have own their own lot!

                  There were 3. Only thing I saw of interest was a tach cluster.


                  My festiva........ is BORKED. It's burning coolant faster than I can put it in. FAILURE. Gotta be a huge crack somewhere in the block or something........ What a downer. Don't know what to do now, never swapped an engine before

                  • Well since the B3 seems shot...might as well drop a b6 or b8 in it!

                      Sounds like some around here...they think you are trying to rob them because they are robbing you with their prices.

                        Otherwise later you'll find yourself saying "Danm, I could've had a B8" :p

                          If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're talking about the yard here in town. I have to go to KC if I want to go to a JY, the one here is literally not even worth bothering with. They've pissed me off more times than I can count.

                          • Ordered a 300k mileage window sticker, and 40+MPG sticker, and a aftermarket steering wheel.

                            Can't wait to get the steering wheel.

                              • 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.
