What have you done to your Festiva today!?

And you're in TX....

Just a hunch here.....

You are under 22 and under 160lbs.

Am I right?

Haha. 21 and 150, actually.
The A/C lines are in the way and the extra pulley makes removing them difficult.

The more I drive it, the more it's clearing up... runs almost perfect, just misses at idle now, and I haven't touched anything. I'm thinking the injectors may have been dirty/stuck after the engine sat for soooo long.

Love for Festiva - reaffirmed.

This is a bit of a dilemma, though. I have too many vehicles!

1992 Camaro RS
1992 Festiva GL
1995 Subaru Legacy L
1989 F250 3/4 ton Diesel
1986 VW Golf D
1993 Festiva
1995 Yamaha XT600
1978 Yamaha XS400
2001 Suzuki Katana 750
1997 Ninja 250
1988 Ninja 250
1980 KZ250
1989 Katana 600

The top 4 bikes need minimal work to be ridable, the 1997 and 1988 Ninjas are officially junk/parts, the KZ250 is almost completely apart to be converted to a soft tail mini chopper (time permitting), the '89 Kat 600 is a VW diesel project. :/

The Subaru needs a trans, and while I have to put that in, the engine's got 340,000 miles on it, so I'm replacing it with a VW diesel. GAH. TMFP! (Too many friggin projects!) (The list goes on...)

I hate A/C.

Today I worked on Izzy's car.
Put the junkyard cylinder head on. Changed oil.
Makes weird noises, but I haven't heard the engine in awhile so I don't know if they're new. Piston rings are baad. Steady smoke out of the dipstick tube.
Took me nearly 8 hours to get everything back together including replacing the coolant hoses for the throttle body.
I hate A/C. I'm not installing it in my car..

A hammer the grill and a headlight .Spare parts for the win !!! Spent the most time with the battery r/r haha .
This is my first carb car for 12 years ,i forgot the mpg was so good . I travel 130 miles a day for work and have been running these cars for 15 years ,48 mpg was a nice welcome back ....

re-assembled my rear differential using this as a guide:

+1 mechanical technical level! LOL seriously did learn a bit about setting pre-load and backlash though. It will come in handy over the winter when i swap in an LSD. Putting my time and $$ into more essential things for the moment though.

Got my passenger mirror in and installed it, also found out one of my rims is slightly out of round so now i need to swap tires around till i find a better rim.

[kellen302]

somebody has spares lying around...

[neanderpaul]

Lol! That was fast! :thumbleft:

[shadetree]

And fixed.

[koRnhead]

Re-did the exhaust. And new spark plugs.

[neanderpaul]

Special bump corner survival for the silver lining win!

[kellen302]

Doesn't look like anything internal bent, a new grill, headlight, and a hammer for the hood should fix it.

[HondaSlayer]

That sucks. It should be an easy fix atleast. Hope the deer didn't make it. I hate deer. And atleast your corner lights made it.
