Drove it to the junker
...
..to hunt for parts! Haha.
Great snag today.. they had a fresh '90 L-Plus with two brand new (I mean brand-spankin'-new, 1/2 inch tread) 12 inch tires, which they charged me $10 each for (with wheels!), and a 128k white tach cluster! Ohh yeah. Someone got there first and took the headlights and taillights, and I'm assuming the other two tires.. I can't understand why they didn't grab all four, they took them all off.. then laid two under the car o_O.
The interior was really nice, too, but I didn't need any more stuffz piling up (which probably means I'll go back next weekend to feed the addiction).
While I'm on the subject, anyone want to buy a white tach cluster?

Popped in the New lca's and poly bushings the other day. Took some rednecking to get the bolts out, but she handles like a dancing queen.
Also plasti dipped my new American Racing 14 estrellas in prep for the new tires which should arrive sometime this week
Then EARLY this morning changed out my already swapped pedals for some new ones that match the interior a little better

These are a dual lug pattern. with a 35mm offset (which is recommended on the stock festy setup). 14x6" and i ordered them direct through American racing for 79 a piece shipped. the dual pattern would be nice, at least until your swap is done, so you can just rotate them to the aspire (which is what i'm assuming you're talking about) pattern.Originally posted by ckiesman View Post
and yeah, that plasti dip lays nicely. i was worried because there was a texture to it after a couple coats, but once they started drying a little more it evened out nicely. and home depot has that stuff (only in black) for $5.88/can +tax.Est. 1989 "Bringing laughter and festiva awesomeness to the world since birth" banana timeComment

lol. Well good to know they are dual pattern. Cause finding a salvageable aspire rear beam is hard it seems, but rio stuff can be had all day. And I saw those rims but they were 4x100 on tire rack for 79 a piece to. Looks like I know what i'll be doing in a few weeks....1990 Festiva L "puddles". 187,000 mi.

Yeah. Heres a pic of the box specs so you know exactly what to look for. I think discount tire can order them for you too if you cant find them. But honestly, I'd dig a bit before pulling the trigger because my original AR estrellas I got for 65$ a pieceOriginally posted by ckiesman View Post

Thanks! I would say, that those are going to be the nicest pieces of the whole install. I have 3-way speakers, mids are 6,5" and bass 8". Most likely I'm istalling mids in original places, over the grills , not nice, but didn't find any another reasonable place for them.. Bass is going to doors, rear quarter...Originally posted by Aaronbrook37 View PostHi! Do you wanna ride with me? I have red cabrio, it has the biggest engine what was available when the car was new.

What about kick panels?
Not sure if there are any Festiva/Pride/121 panels available, but an existing one for another car could be modded; or you can fabricate one.~Austin
