What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Prafeston]

Have you always had to the 2 Festivas? One for parts?

[WTFestiva]

we're retiming the B3 we have, if that doesnt work we are going to swap our motors out with the other guy on the right.

Pull the whole cable out of the sleeve and lube it up and slide it back in?

Yes, I did this with mine and it slides out rather easy.

If it is a brand new cable then you probably won't have to clean it.

If it is a used one I would clean all the old grease off with some rubbing alcohol and scraping off any build-up that may be on it.

I recommend just detaching the cable from the transmission and pull it out of it's sleeve there, much quicker than pulling out the instrument cluster.
Put allot of bearing grease down the entire length of the cable and slide it back up through it's sleeve which will guide it back into the speedo, if it doesn't go all the way in, just turn the cable a bit until it does.

If you have, to just pull it out and lube it up with some bearing grease, got rid of the bouncing on mine.

Finally got a "new" Speedo cable and installed it this morning. Got a working speedometer now! Though it is bouncing a bit. Hope it keeps working.

Took another whack trying to get the twisted-out-of-place lock-washer out, literally won't even budge.

Since I am going to have to buy another washer anyway, maybe I could carefully drill through the tab on the washer without damaging the bearing behind it or threads on the spindle.

Big thanks to Casey! (CWAY1319) for the hook up! After installing it and driving around though, I almost am missing the "no mirror" look...

I hope to get a mirror for that side sometime, annoying not having one.

Drove mine halfway across the state, found and installed a $25 VAF from a second gen B6, which took me from 24 MPG on the hway to 34.46!!!! Wooot!

Found 2 emeralds on the same trip at a mine, and lots of other stones, visited the Bakers, and saw the shop they had built. Holy moly Batman, what a monstrosity!

Also turns out I missed seeing NeanderPaul there by a day

finaly got to replace Caety;s right rear strut... not having air power puts a damper on things, especially when you're in the middle of everything

3" exhaust from the turbo back.

[LittleHoe]

its an aftermarket crx bumper that was narrowed and then the signals were filled in....

[RhodeStiva]

^ where did you grab that front bumper in your signature?

[LittleHoe]

I ordered a couple new skins... 195/45/15... they are hard to find up here in the stix... And then the guy asks me if I am driving the car in the winter.... So I told him no they are for a custom festiva that I only drive in the summer... I don't think he believed me though....

Might be easier to just do what I did on a recent repair. Find an entire assembly (Drum, back plate, spindle, everything) at a "You pull it". I got mine for $20. It's basically pull the brake line, undo the ebrake, 4 X 14mm nuts and you are off to the races!

Too bad the nearest "you pull it" type place with a Festiva is all the way in Indianapolis, and all the local junkyards around here want $50+ for the entire assembly and I just don't trust any of those yards.
