What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[milehighbear]

Well, was putting air in tires and grabbed each tire and shook it and all were tight except for rear passenger tire, had a little wiggle in it. So jacked it up, took cap off and pulled pin and nut was a little loose. I tightened it down about 3/4 turn and wheel tightened right up. Guess I'll have to go drive it now and see if any sounds come from it. I think I'll also plan day to take rear wheels off and grease them.

I giggled like a kid in a candy store the whole way home! It's the car that has a makeshift turbo kit from a mitsu. Blown head gasket i suppose... No matter, gonna get the brakes and suspension off it.

Turbo kit is cool man. Now I know why it's smokin like that lol. So you'll get some parts off it. I assume it's an aspire?

Changed my master brake cylinder (for the first time), didn't have to bleed the entire system, bled the master from F to R fittings (1 at a time), air went out after like 4-5 sets of 20 pumps with the help of my youngest son. I remember rebuilding a rear left wheel cylinder then bleeding just on that same side. Makes sense, air would come out where it entered (nearest point) with strong pressure of course. I saved a lot of time, labor, and brake fluid

Finally did a compression test on my current b6... Not good. 160,150,150,75. Added a little trans fluid to #4 it jumped up to 185... Rings are done... Really need to get my other bottom end all assembled.

Installed a split folding rear seat, got it inspected. Got the sticker, but I need to rebuild or replace the steering rack.

Any close ratio racks that fit?

After watching how it looked for a week or so I raised the back
another inch and 1/4 ...It looks really good!!

Today, I decided to install the one way vacuum check valve for the power brakes. I took two hoses from some different junk yard vehicles and installed the valve in midair. I didn't like the way it looked and decided to install an acura bracket to the firewall. The valve looks a lot better mounted in the bracket. The problem was that the KB laser intake manifold has the vacuum fitting mounted sideways on the first intake runner, down low.

@movin - It doesn't look terrible or anything, but IMO it looked better from afar. LOL Ingenuity doesn't have to be pretty, and my opinion doesn't really count, though.

Painted front bumper cover black. Clear coated it. Installed new horn.

.... I like that, that was a good idea. I may do something very similar. Do you have any trouble with rain on the ignition wires or distributor etc.

Thanks
