What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[TheresGabe]

That looks great! I want some trim rings like that!

I LOVE my trim rings I bought last week. They look AWESOME! $45 delivered on ebay. I'll find the info. PM me if you are serious.

Salvaged 4 speakers, the rear speaker panels, and a rear hatch shock from the junkyard. Installed it all(still need to run speaker wires, so no tunes as of yet) Wiped down and armor-alled the dash. Fixed the engine temp guage(I knocked it during my cluster LED install) and put on some seat covers. Total Cost: $40. Seeing the interior of this little car returning to something a girl might actually ride in: Priceless.

Don't get your hopes up.. it's still a Festiva.

I know Charlie, but everyone (FL crew) would say "your trying to be like Charlie", or should I say....Charlie that car would look great with white stripes.

Maybe it is only for Charlie's then?


Gauge does a great job powder coating. It is hard not to copy some aspects on a Festiva. They are all unique but the same at the same time, which is why we all love them!

Pulled the speedo cable out and greased it up with some leftover bearing grease. Speedo works 100% now.

White wheels would look awesome with your stripes!

Thanks! They are from a Mitsubishi lancer OZ, I spray painted them white and put red o.z. decals that I bought from ebay on them. The tires are 165/45-15 Federal Formozas that I got for $65 a tire shipped on ebay. They fit like the stock 12" tires (they are actually a half an inch shorter) and didn't require any suspension mods to fit. I used 1/4" spacers on the back, but that wasn't necessary to fit them on. I would recommend a 15x6 wheel with a 38 or 35mm offset with these tires for a perfect fit. These wheels are like a 42mm offset, but they will work well with my capri swap when I get a chance to put it on Rosie (capri swap uses aspire arms and widens the front of the car).

Here's a closer picture of the fitment of these tires. These rims are 15x6.

Love those wheels. They look great.

Rosie sprung a leak in the coolant hose that goes from the intake manifold to the idle valve, so I replaced that. And, she's got new shoes!

Now she needs suspension because she looks way to tall in her fancy new shoes. lol.
