What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[defprun]

Installed a big ole ricer tach! So fast!

[TorqueEffect]

I started flushing my coolant system today, using good old Cascade. Cascade and water mix is sitting in the car now, just waiting for it to cool down before draining it and rinsing.

I am sure it added a whole 10HP. lol

You sir are the perfect candidate for a cabin air filter also. I would hate to look in your ductwork unless you leave it in the closed position.

I try to leave it closed but it dont help alot. Every time i turn on my front facing vents i am in a mini sand storm. Did you have anything in mind for this fabled cabin air filter? I remember you talking about it a while back but didnt read too much after that. I may have to get a piece of cloth rub oil on it like a k&n filter.

3-4 months ago, this was a new air filter....

Movin really made a convincing argument, considering what I plan on running for a cooling system it will definately need that flush.

I painting the tach so it looks like it came with it...ish lol.

Here is the cabin air filter post. All you need to make two of them is a Fram Freshbreeze CF8921A filter and a roll of 7/16" X 3/4" adhesive foam tape. Good luck.

Saw the thread about using Cascade for coolant flush so I picked up some from the store and I will be doing that tomorrow.

Today I realized my e brake popped this morning and the metal bracket that goes side to side on the axle beam broke so the rubber stirrups are allowing too much movement... yay. Oh well ordered an Aspire e brake assembly so I can do my swap soon (ordered brake hoses today as well) so I should be able to have the rear swap done soon. Need to get my new tires mounted and balanced to the new wheels and I'll be ready to take on the rear swap. Then it's the anguishing wait until payday (Friday) so I can order control arms, tie rod ends, and brake hoses to do my Rio swap on the front (01 Rio stuff). Ready to have my go kart ready so I can start worrying about POWER.

[Powerstiva]

where did you order the aspire e brake from? and what hoses are you talking about?

[Prafeston]

You painted the tach too? That's gotta be another 5HP!

[gestiva]

Painted and installed my Spoiler! painted my Caps too, just need to install them too.


Also got my rails and underseat tray ready to install this week....

[Prafeston]

Looking good!

Aspire brake hoses since the Festy ones don't fit apparently.

And I used car-part.com to locate a yard close to me with the assembly. Called them up to verify it was what I needed and got it ordered lol.

Finally did a tune up and cleaned the IAC out. It idles alot better now, but i still gotta get the intake tube replaced. Thats gonna have to wait till payday. And I still havent found the source of squishyness in my steering at speed. No play in anything, shocks are good and nothing has changed on the car. The steering hasnt gotten worse, but it hasnt gotten better. Still loving the festiva though!
