    .... How is this setup working out since you install it? Give us some details.

    It's an eBay kit I got for about $17. Seems to be made alright and was very easy to install.

    E-for-E trans swap. Gotta use what I have. Been missing sitting in that seat pretty bad. Next up: warranty LCAs.

    Sent from the bathroom via crapatalk.

    Holy crap! That's another festiva, or three!
    Hopefully it is super reliable now. Post up some pics of your festy.

    What happens when you corner hard? Do they rub then?

    My wheels are ICW "Something Or Others", 7 spokes, allegedly 38mm offset, but they are WIDE (for a Festiva anyway), thus necessitating spacers. I've heard that if I install an Aspire rear strut/shock, its spring perch is higher off the tire and the spacer issue will likely be a moot point then.
    I can't usually get too aggressive with it because I always have my son strapped in the front seat and it's never running quite right...

    But when I hit 60, 65, I pretty much don't slow down, so curves with 45mph safety sign aren't making them rub either.

    That is awesome, but looks far from comfortable.

    Or for going 88MPH all the time.
    However, this may help me with my delivery times. Although a time pauser would be best for that
    Tivo capacitor?

    That should have been PCV. I always do that.

    Installed new PVC valve & cleaned tube & nozzle on plenum. Lots of black grainy crap in pvc tube. Seems to be a little peppier.

    BP donor still don't run. It's got a couple gallons of gas in it now. I pulled off all of the intake tubing before the VAF. I can push the VAF flap when the key is "ON" and I can hear the fuel pump humming away. I can get the car to crank but no cough or sputter. I bought it with a small front end collision on the drivers side that killed the radiator and kinked the intake tubes. The PO said they just had it towed home and hadn't run it.
    Now it's pouring down rain and I don't have a covered work area. It's got oil, doesn't hold water. I'm just a llittle puzzled on where to start.

    I don't want to answer for Christ but I'll add my experience FWIW:

    probably not. I have 2nd gen miata daisies and I have full aspire swap and struts.

    I have done 185/65 and 185/70 on the rears and the 70's rub, 65's don't as they're not tall enough to touch the spring perch
