What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[jbuck1975]

Ran out of gas. Then sat on the side of interstate trying to get it started back up. Drained the battery but had new one with me So I replaced it. Finally got car going and drove the rest of the way home to park her for the night.

89 Festiva. carby. needs repairs!!

I was saved by a Nissan Sentra cap. Yay for small Japanese radiators.
The temperature was normal on the way home.
Movin, I already have a leak at the thermostat housing. One of the bolts is sheared off in the cylinder head. Its a slow leak and I just top off the coolant every week or two.

[Movin]

Man, that is too bad ! After all is well and you are home, put cardboard or
something under it and let it idle until the cooling fan comes on. Then turn it
off and leave it for several hours, then check for leaks.
Some times thermostats do not survive this either replace it or monitor
its performance for a few days. Hope all is well !!

I overheated mine at least 10 times(accidentally). So I think you will be fine

[Oren09]

I overheated it on the way home from.the club.
For some reason my radiator cap disappeared. I'm currently on the side of the highway waiting for a friend bringing a cap and water. I don't know how in the heck the cap vanished but goodness. The engine shut off as I pulled over but it starts so I hope its fine...

Movin, you're insane, LOL

Too bad the "frame" and brakes aren't stronger. You could tow a fullsize trailer with that engine and get a lot of weird looks.

??Don't People always point when you need to
haul two and a half ton rockwells home for the
Bogger?

yup now just gotta test the wiring and it's officially ready, although I want to get new wheel straps since my current ones are crap, they'll do if absolute need be though but I'd rather get different ones for my grandparents fancy car dolly lol

Installed a tach dash in the 88, finally got the wire hooked up. Had to make a jumper to the coil wire in the bay. No more fast and furious tach
