What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[rockin86ranger]

Didn't get much done, everything i was gonna pull from the parts car was bad so i ordered a new passenger CV shaft and rear shock (thank the lord for shop discounts). and while i was checking everything i swapped all good (hopefully) tires on to the 90 and 3 of the bad tires to the 91 (just need to dig out the space saver to swap the last one). Hopefully tommorow my radio adapter will come in so i can get my headunit wired in after school and before church. Then thursday i should be able to get everything else done and should finally have a Festiva i can drive over 40mph. If i finish soon enough i might try to find a piece of box tubing to get my trailer hitch done.

Then i won't do much to it because I'm going to try to rebuilt the head on my ranger and get it running (money allowing of course). Also gonna try to get the 91 stripped down so i can crush it.

Looks like a new safety feature you can see the air inside..

[FestYboy]

try 185/60/13s here... they may help in the grip department.

or here.

[jamesmc]

Haha yes, new tires are coming. Im not completely suicidal. They're 13" metro wheels. That tire wear is from just 6 months or so of use. Didn't seem to have that problem until the BP swap.

Sent from my MIUI 3vo.

Uhhh maybe it's time for me some new ones too!!

89 Festiva. carby. needs repairs!!

[Darlo]

It would be even more dumb considering 12" tires are like $30 new, and $15 at the wrecker!

Even if they are 13", you can find them for $45 each!

Lets hope he is not running those ones anymore, and they were just up for comparison!

[htchbck]

Please tell me you are not driving the car with those bald tires on it at all now, let alone in the back! That violates every safety standard there is regarding tires and tire placement! We have had enough wrecked/totalled festivas lately, I'd hate to have to add another to the list.

On the bright side it looks to be a pretty even wear :p

[Darlo]

What tread on the front tire? LOL

[neanderpaul]

Those tires are done. Rotate the back to the front and the front to the dump.

[jamesmc]

Tire rotation came a little ahead of schedule. Makes it easy when half the car can be jacked up at a time. The amount of tread on the front tires compared to the rear is quite worrying. I spin them too much apparently.

Not so sure my engine is going to last much longer. It isn't running right, yet has full power. It doesn't like being beat on like it used to... sounds like it's going to blow up. There's a bad tick as well as a high pitched whining that is dependent on engine LOAD, its very strange.

[eurotiva]

Just waiting on the escort master cylinder to come in. Other than that she runs and moves on her own I still have some mounting brackets to make in the bay but no biggie should be done tomorrow sometime. These pics are before I have buffed the car so it looks good now, it's going to look amazing when it's done. But I don't plan on doing that until sometime after the Florida meet. But who knows maybe I will get it done. My buffing wheel let go after 4 yrs so I have to pick up another.... Lame!

Also it needs a bath I haven't washed it since its been home. It's never ending....

Looks good mikey

[navdoc101]
