What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[frogman]

Started sanding the rust out of my spare tire tub. Leaking tail light gaskets, for years, let water eat away. I wake up early and need something to do that doesn't make much noise. As it is too hot after 9 am, I can devote a few hours to the task. Another day or two and it will be primed and spray bombed. Thinking about spraying with truck bed protector to top it off.

Switched out the Mazda emblem in the grille...

The lines have a coating of oil in them and the canister is catching some oil. I unscrewed the cap from the bottom and oil drained out. It hasn't showed up in the sight glass yet.

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

Installed an oil catch can.



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.

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.

[hodginsa]

Hey I slept in my back seat friday night, doesn't look quite as comfy as that, and it was at a rest stop...

[neanderpaul]

We woke up in it. I slept in the middle.

This was yesterday.

This is right now.

I picked up my new B6 bottom end from the machine shop yesterday and ordered the ACL race bearing kit and ARP main studs! Man I miss boost
