    Comment


    • I drove it down a local dirt road for like 15miles doing some rally drifting and playing around. Frankenfester loves that stuff.

      • ^^Awesome. I miss driving like that on my paper route. I actually kinda wanna trade down + cash for a crappier Festiva because this one is just wayyyyy to nice for use on a paper route.

          Just remember to unplug the ECA and the EFE heater relay (just in case). Make sure that there are no electrical fires due to shorts. Tape the connectors.
          I'm not sure it'll breathe any better, I tapered the port from the curve out. That way the charge isn't just dumping into a much larger port. The port from the carb base to the curve is stock size. I wish Extrude Honing wasn't so expensive.

                  • How crappy do you want, I have a 92 Sport that's my work car.
                    An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

                    • Details? It can be preeeeety crappy, as long as it runs and drives

                        Does this mean you'll take a b3 festy? With 169k miles? That runs like a champion? And is the best festy you've ever seen? Minus wheels And spoiler And roof And skirts of course.

                        • I have a '90 Auto L-Plus (with A/C I've never charged..) that I'd love to trade for a minty 5spd.. 218k miles, mostly new suspension, fair amount of rust (and one bigger spot under the passenger floorboard). Has not failed me once (aside from a strut). Dents. Loves going 85MPH down the highway. It just keeps tickin'!

                          ...or you could just send me a price. Wunt.

                          -Joe

                          P.S. Seriously. Wunt.

                          • let me go now.

                            92 5speed L, new gabriels on all four corners, 169k, accell spiral core wires, iridium plugs, red top battery, new timkens on all corners, no a/c, new alternator, 43mpg avg, is shit kicking worthy, RUST FREE - minus one tiny nick on the wiper grille that has been covered with rustoleum, racing pedals, civic short shifter, carbon shift ball, grant rally-gt steering wheel, kicker speakers all around and infinity tweeters in rear, (head unit will come out if this goes down, as well as my amp and sub.)

                            that and what else to get yours?

                              • Before





                                After





                                I also welded shut 2 holes that were on the hood where a previous owner mounted a Mack Truck hood ornament. Didn't get those pics though.

                                Welder, grinder, wire wheel, body filler, grey primer and white paint both rattle cans. I'm happy with it, it was cheap, and only took an hour and a half.
