I've been getting 33-34 out of mine recently. This past summer was more like 39 in all conditions no matter how I drove.

I think I will try going the stop light route, and see if it makes any difference.
And by routes I am meaning routes to work. lolLast edited by TorqueEffect; 01-05-2014, 05:21 PM.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

Any old washer fluid washes it off. Though now I am partial to the Rain-X brand, I did notice a improvement with my rear window with the rain-x over the cheapo blue stuff.
Definitely worth the extra buck or two.

My battle remembered I was a freak about Festiva's and called the tip to me. So, I have another Festiva and got it for $200. Runs! 91 gl ford blue
you were in ft walton beach fl ? And didn't contact me that's 5 minutes away.;

Tried to get its doors open.
All frozen shut, once inside I tried to yank the door lock topper thing with pliers to break the ice inside the door, and ended up shattering it.
Can the piece of plastic on top just be replaced, or do I need to change out that entire rod?1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

You most likely broke the black plastic ear on the inside. Remove door panel, remove vapor barrier. Check to see how to undo white nylon pivot or metal pivot, because handle rod is part of the door lock mechanism.
Remove two handle mount nuts.Last edited by bravekozak; 01-06-2014, 04:18 PM.

Been looking at getting some hubcaps for the 13" Metro Steelies.
Don't want something too conservative, but don't want something that looks stupid. Kinda hard because there doesn't seem to be any middle ground when searching on ebay.
I thought the Honda hubcaps would look great, but they use a plastic lug retainer system instead of a retainer ring so that kills that idea.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

Cleared just enough of the windshield to putt across the street into a local business' back parking lot. There, I unloaded the rest of the 10" of snow off the windshield, hood, roof, bumpers and side windows. Pretty sure the suspension came up as the snow fell off, lol.
Last week I rewired the remote start to power the blower (instead of the radio, doh). I had remote started it as I walked out of the store, but the blower wasn't running when I got in... Even after I turned the key to run it was still off. Checked the fuse real quick but it was good. I feared I screwed something major up. Sitting at a light in traffic, I thunk "hit it", like a starter on it's last legs needs a hammer's tap to get going, I'd hit the blower motor. One solid whack and it works again, hahaha.-Zack

I think these painted white would look pretty slick.

Blocked off the grille, and lower scoop or whatever you call it with cardboard.

Dropped the valve cover off at the powder coating shop.
Gonna have it painted a candy red that's a close match to the exterior paint color.
Should be ready for pickup within 10 days or so.
Can't wait!
