What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[eurotiva]

I've been wanting white wheels....

The rainguards are from Junspeed, he makes them.

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.

Where did you get those ventshades? Everything about that car is pretty stinking sweet!

[eurotiva]

I took a pic of mine, and drove it....

I put in my LED cluster light. Full instructions and a couple "lessons learned" in the following thread.

I got the title transferred, registration and insurance taken care of, and new historic plates. As soon as I got it legal, I drove it like I stole it.

I HAVE to remember that!

I really thought both pumps are busted already. I've soaked both in gasoline with no success. I was actually planning to use a carb cleaner but I remember that carb shops here use lacquer thinner when rebuilding carbs so I tried and it worked .

Cleaned my 2 spare electric fuel pump (not working). Lacquer thinner and a few mild bumps did the trick. Both pumps are now working fine after bench testing them...

I did the driver's side lower control arm. There is just something about having the comfort of knowing your wheel isn't going to fall off, that I REALLY enjoy!

Yep, wrap a bag around the dizzy and alternator and go to town. No direct washing on the harness with hi-pressure, and power rinse, spray with degreaser, then rinse again.

[crazyrog17]

Power washer, gotta get it done. Why get dirty? Just don't hit the dizzy and wires.

[WTFestiva]

We tore our belts apart, we got a hole in the time belt cover and a broken gasket Gotta find ourselves a cover and pull the pullys off, which is getting to be pretty rough with all the caked oil and dirt from the races.
