    Mileage? Any leaks or drips? What about at the power steering pump?

    I took the street wheels off of tweak and put the slicks on her. Street wheels are getting revised. Driving on the slicks to and from work again. It ain't always easy bein' a gangsta. lol.
    picked up a 91 GL with rear wiper, A/C, and P/S... and i have defrost in the works for it.

    Replaced the crankshaft seal, timed the engine, put the timing belt on, and sighed because I don't have a dust cover or seal. Oh and thanks to deathrace, I got a spare set of #200 coilovers.

    The lights are off a '90 BMW 750iL that I found at Pull-a-Part. I have somethin custom in mind as far as the grille goes. When I get my hands on the material I need to do it, I'll do a mock up and show everyone.

    Looks like a good match, though.
    Hitch would be neat, but most of the things I pull are well over what this car could handle, never mind what it's rated for.
    If I massage (read: beat the urine out of) the spare tire well I could get the exhaust to run up there though...

    The main thing is that the black "trim" (in quotes because it's molded into the bumper) strip is almost exactly the same height, shape and position as the one on my Stylus front, and the styling agrees with that of the Festy a little better than the Stylus rear. Plus it'll be super super easy to mount.

    Installed an in dash dvd player that originally cost 1/2 as much as what I paid for the Festiva.

    5/8" = 16mm They are a standardized automotive fastener. Most Seatbelts in most cars are interchangeable to some extent. I.E. the Bolts I had left over from a Toyota Pickup worked to hold the harnesses in my Festiva.

    Took my rear bumper off to find out mother nature did some weight reduction for me:


    But I was still able to start hacking new wheel arches out of the Tercel bumper and mocking it up. Also this pic shows the spot where I filled over the wiper hole in my new hatch with SUPER JDM RACING CARBON FIBER ELECTRICAL TAPE

    2 license plates wooo!

    Also got my new front marker lights figured out, forgot to snap a picture of that.
