What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[scitzz]

Huh, two posts ago was SUPPOSED to be a tapatalk pic of my new LED turn signal lights for the rear blinkers. As I burn out bulbs, I will be upgrading to LED, to spread out the cost. $16 at AZ compared to the 10 I usually pay for the Sylvania high output ones...Good deal, they work well, and bright.

Why you gotta make more work for me? .

Two words: pumpkin cheesecake.

*Flywheel on donor engine is rusty from exposure. Should I swap the old one in?

If you plan on reusing the clutch, swap the flywheel along with it. They're wear mated already. If replacing the clutch, use either but be sure to at least sand the clutch mating portion to remove the glaze. Surface rust elsewhere on the donor flywheel can be removed with a wire brush. It doesn't have to be perfect as long as the clutch surface is clean and nothing is in the way of seating the pressure plate.

Broke the alternator belt for the fifth time in 8 months today. Really?? REALLY? Yep.

Why you gotta make more work for me? Looks like I'll be removing pulleys this weekend to check them out and clean or replace them.

Man there is more oil on the outside than in...

therefore no need to replace gaskets the old oil sealed them right up.

Swapping all the carb stuff onto the donor. Definitely dropped a plastic straw (spray can style) in the #1 cylinder trying to find TDC.

First solution google gave me:

I've reused belts, water pumps, oil pumps, if they feel/look as the should, why not. If your doing your own work the only thing you losing is your time to change it out later when they do finally fail. But in the mean time, you save money on your swap.

Tweak has the original waterpump from the Xr2 donor car that had like 160K on it. It's an original Mazda pump with the cast impeller, which I prefer, havn't had a problem, also reused the oil pump off the GTX engine but I shimmed the bypass spring. plenty of pressure!

Deleted the silencer on the intake plenum...plugged the hole with a whiskey bottlecap.

I used an inner stud/nut from an old cone seat truck wheel.

Installed the turn-signal/wiper switch I received in the mail today from Jfro.

Nice to have a turn-signal stalk that works properly, and not flopping around on rubberbands wrapped around the steering column.

Took off and painted valve cover...valve cover gasket was brand new, wewt! Deleted the silencer on the intake plenum...plugged the hole with a whiskey bottlecap.

Tomorrow I'ma weld some sh*t.
