  • Just deleted the IA-BPAV, or whatever it's called. The Festiva IAC. Why they couldn't just call it that, IDK.

    No more 2k RPM cold idle. Really don't understand why the Festy IAC always blows chunks. Preparing for a tolerable IAC install from Nissan.
    Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

      Ten years! That was the first thing I replaced when I bought my wreck. You must have a very easy going personality.

      • Yea I do. It wasn't too bad. The cracks were along the very bottom and on the passenger side of the car. I wasn't always looking thru a crack while driving. And I really didn't think the car would last this long. But after using the sea foam in the engine and the clattering stopped completely even when it was cold that's when I decided to start fixing it up. I love this little car.

        • Jackass seller on Amazon didn't bother to cancel my order until I actually asked when it was going to ship after I waited for like 5 days for it to ship, giving the excuse that they don't know how it got in their system since they have never sold Davico products.

          • Here's my Four Green install. Dark green bezel + dark gray lock bottons.

            Wired white/blue EFE to connector for violet power wire for Revolution electric fuel pump controller. Revolution has a self resetting internal breaker inside. No fuse necessary.

            Removed red/green wire from connector going to rear harness. Piggybacked another red/green wire for light flash along with horn honk while arming Viper.

            • Replaced the alternator today and replaced the relay, with one I got from a JY, for the radiator fan. The fan kept running all the time. The relay was corroded.

                Did you happen to send them a screenshot with a copy of the link and a close up of their connection to the fact it was a website of theirs or linked to them?

                I would have made them fully aware of the fact. I mean after all, why would a good person allow them to keep the same mistake over and over? Its good practice

                • Junkyard didn't have the 91 323 they said they had. Getting really po'd that they keep doing this.

                  Well, gotta find a vaf elsewhere.

                    • I tried installing an Avella parking brake cable today. I gave up when I couldn't get the adjuster nut on. Was everyone else with an Aspire conversion successful at installing theirs?

                        • Picked up the rust free hood from greyhound this morning.

                          Installed it a little while ago. I don't know why, but I can NEVER seem to get the hood to sit correctly. I got a big huge gap at one corner, and no gap at the other, and the only way I can remotely correct it is strategically placing multiple washers between the hood, and hood hinges.

                          Also I broke another hood bolt off in it when I was gently tightening it down. :cussing:
                          Why must the hood bolts be made of such extremely soft steel? Now to look for the easy outs.....

                          Looks like whoever drilled the holes to put a ford badge in didn't measure it. Those will get filled soon though.

                          Oh and the head of the bottom bolt on the driver's side fender is rounded off. FML!!

                            • Did a cooling system hydrocarbon "bong" test on the sporty.

                              Then I ordered a head gasket.
