    • Finally found my coolant leak. I didn't notice it sooner because the drip/spray never made it to the ground and was burning off in the narrow gap between the turbo and the block. Significant reduction in underhood temperatures and steam!

              Good to see TominMO finally working now! LOL
              Your lucky he has been playing with these cars for a while.
              Knows most of the tricks!
              Ask him about when we tried to put the Capri brakes on the first time!

              • Figured out my problem. Fuel gauge wasn't working.... driving it home, and I smell gas. Now the fuel filter split open. My festiva hates me. Lol.

                • Skie, consider yourself lucky to have posted on page 777 of this thread.

                  Install a metal one next time. It will have less chance of splitting compared to a plastic one.

                    I am lucky. I will ask about them. I have a xr2 swap in the garage.

                    • I took the car around the block after replacing these components with Moog. Steering and tracking have improved greatly, but is still squirrley along strait aways. On ground with steering wheel centered, driver's side is slightly toe-in while the passenger is roughly zero. I'm gonna turn the tie rod out try again.

                      I dream of replacing the front springs/strut/hat with a newer set from 2 kia rios nearby. I'd like to do it before I got an alignment, but we'll see. Would a spring compressor be necessary if the suspension is unloaded for removal?

                      • Yeah brave, when I replace the fuel lines next week I'm going to do just that. I noticed a few cracks in the line going to the fuel rail from the filter. Looks to be an original line as well.

                            As he has already completed that swap.
                            With some help from FL way, as I recall.

                              Uh, see what WmWatt found out:
