What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[200KGPGTP]

I'm thinking of getting a Whelen Responder......

[JPT]

^^What is it, a B6 SOHC?

B8ME. Out of a '90 Protege. Only 93K miles. Whoever owned it took really good care of it. The car it came from was in nice shape. If it wasn't T-boned in a wreck, the owner probably would still be driving it

Picked this up a couple of weeks ago.



It went in this past weekend.



I'm still sorting it out, but it runs REAL good!

[Team Lightning]

Oil change for the 90, put the 93 in the paint and body shop.

Pulled the engine

Pulled out the engine/tranny a day ago, having blown the head gasket by overheating without any rad fluid (hole in the rad). Now I have to figure out why the frame seems to be twisted. ... Well I know why, since I barrel rolled it twice, but I mean where the twist is, and then sort out if it can be pulled out. A bit of a sad race weekend on March 3 and 4.

I took the rear brakes apart (both sides) and that is when I found out that I need new drums, and then I spent an hour or so trying to get the parts that didn't move anymore to move.

This is the second brake job this past two weeks (I have two festivas, a 91 and a 93).

Finally got to drive it around for a bit. Having some issues with it idling really high...but other than that it's driving like a dream. Getting about 31.5 mpg, though...ouch.

Got crazy today, hit up the JY and scored an Aspire compressor with lines and tensioner for $33. The low side line is off of a '94 Protege, I'm not down with the Aspire line that runs all the way to the DS, then back across the firewall. I guess someone was smoking a little crack when they designed that. Got everything put onto Green Car but I still need to slot the bolt holes for the Protege line where it bolts to the compressor. The orifice fits perfectly but the bolt hole is about a 1/16" off.

I also yanked the engine out of FestEvil and started swapping everything over onto the block and head that I just finished rebuilding. Still need an intake gasket, and my flywheel and clutch from zoomzoom should be here on Thursday! Can't wait to have him back together with a 5 speed finally! Was another productive day in festivaland again

Got my passenger seat fixed, had a kink in the cable and needed to be lubed. also thinking about pulling my back seat out (need more room, having issues hauling my bike in the car.

Found one issue with my, lately, been running badly, car. Yay!
Seems I have multiple issues, but I have found, and fixed one of them at least. It was a defective, new, disty cap.
The contact for the coil wire, inside the cap, where it touches the rotor, about fell out, when I pulled the cap to take a peek. It was crooked, and kinda leaning on it's side. No wonder it was sputtering.

[unknown]

Pulled driver's side front axle. Prepping for bearings.

[200KGPGTP]

Filled up again, 39 for the third tank in a row.

[gauge_half_inch]

Got my super sweet freshly powder coated summer wheels and tires back on! Bad news my L/F week bearing is really loose... Looks like ill be staying late at work to fix that.

It was a return. It didn't have the box. Guy said it was brand new. The regular price is $75-$80. So yes they have them but not at that price.
