Good idea. I'm building Festiva trailer this week and will definitely need a hitch. Lol. Pic-a-part had a festy with a hitch on it 2 weeks ago and I didn't have the time/tools to grab it and it was gone last weekend. So it looks like I'm gona steal your idea and chop and customize one off another car.

It's old rusty and way overdone. It will have to be removed on a lift. He plans on having the aspire swap I'm selling him installed buy a shop and they will be taking off. I will still get it from him to bring with.Im not driving a Festiva because I'm poor. I drive a Festiva because i want to!

yeah well i have done measurements and the engine will fit.. its not supercahrged its just the stock VT-VZ commodore 3.8tr v6 (200hp stock , have seen a 400hp turbo version o na vt in western australia...) the engine is about 160mm by 160mm without the radiator.. but to my measurements there is 80mm up front to put in a radiator.. the main problem is the length of the gearbox and diff width (easily modified unlike the gearbox length) also the air box on those cars is freaking huge but easily modified.. but if it fits im doing it for sure.. and if it gets done i will have to cruise your way..
if it doesnt fit then my dreams are over xD

Haha. that car did a low 10 second pass.. mind you that that car weighed 1.5tonne or 3400lb compared to our almost 800kg (correct me if im wrong) festiva's it should on a 400hp car pull at least a high 9 if set up for drag correctly.. so im saying 200hp would be more than enough.. i also did an eye measurement on the gear box and it would pull the engine + gearbox length to 350mm not sure if its short enough to fit but i will have a good measure session on sunday and confirm my findings.
