What have you done to your Festiva today!?

195/45 isn't as hard to find. 195/50 is cheap and plentiful. What's so special about 185/45?

The car can be lowered almost 4 inches with zero rub and still turn lock to lock.

I removed the power seat belt motors and rails today and I'm making my harness bar so it will pass tech.

Finally gave Green Car her Christmas present this morning, installed the 2 new tires and balanced all of them and rotated front to back so the news are on the rear. She rides a bit better now Then I went over and pulled the B3 out of Danny's car and stripped all the necessary B3 parts needed for the B6 swap. Hopefully I can pick up the B6 either tomorrow or Thursday

Working on replacing lateral arms this week n my bro got a head start on it... the Square nut in the unibody rail is spinning... any suggestions if so drop me a line on my thread. I gotta talk to my neighbor if he has a trick, he works on cars all the time. plus I need to work on my oil in the intake tube issue which I did some searching and need to inspect for blow by I think that is a given, plus my pcv valve and hope for the best.

Drill a small hole next to the nut on either side and fill it with weld.

Not today, but several days ago, I spun out and wrecked my 93. It's bittersweet, because there was a gods deal of work needed to make it right, but it's value really lay in the parts, such as the 5MT, pedal box, Aspire parts, and all of the glass, plus newish tires.

right now i'm running the stock steelie 12" ......after seeing the video of tweak in the dessert i really want some of those OZ rims but the 12" will have to suffice for now

Keep an eye on craigslist for mitsubishi lancer wheels. I've seen complete sets for $100! The 185/45/15 tires are a bit pricey because they are not sold here in the U.S. I bought mine through an ebay seller in Nevada, who drop shipped them from Germany. It would be nice to get a group buy going with a tire importer to get them at a good price (they are actually dirt cheap over seas).

Merry Christmas to you all!

You shouldn't use brass fittings. They work harden. Use either aluminum or iron with anti corrosion coating.
