What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[gauge_half_inch]

Started running E85 in my b6 sohc turbo car, almost mostly tuned. Takes a lot more fuel...

[navdoc101]

Installed new NGK V power plugs & NGK ZX19 wire set. Next Dizzy cap & rotor ,& K&N Air Filter. Maybe flush cooling system. Can't find any Cascade w/o Dawn & lemon scent.

[NTRCOOL]

Tripod. Is back online after making sure I had enough parts to put the back wheel back on.

Put some NOS protege "swoopies" on Frankenstiva tonight. I had them painted to match the body color this past summer just never got them mounted. Sorry the car is dirty, had a rare rain last night and the drive is muddy.

Fresh, if I only ever use it on this project it was worth it. I picked it up on sale for $150. I was going to just get a cheap pos miter saw and put an abrasive blade in it, but I would have melted that by now. Well worth the money, especially if you need it.

cut up the steel for the base frame with my "Christmas" present to myself:



cut like butter

Looks like its time to start my build thread.

Ive always wanted a chop saw. It has to be better than using the sawzall. Nice gift to yourself !

[Damkid]

Aaron - i think i have the exact same chop-saw :lol: they work great

[mattman]

sent email to secure parts an get them sent to me to get things rolling again an legal

[200KGPGTP]

MPG is still steadily dropping.... 28mpg last tank. I put some fuel injector cleaner in it but I think this is all due to the alternator.


BTW- Do I win biggest thread ever award yet??

Worked on sanding the side bumper molding stuff for my spire.. then went and got the timing belt back on the mazda, got it all back together except for one of the bolts on the steering pump mounting bracket and the spark plug wires.. so i gotta head out to the junk yard tomorrow and get that bolt, and it should be good to go................assuming I actually got the timing right, which is just anyones guess, totally 50/50, i think it is, but there's a chance the crankshaft may be a tooth off. I stuck an extention in the #1 cylinder and cranked it over a few times, as soon as the timing marks line up, the piston starts to drop, but it may be delayed a split second.. we'll just have to see what happens.

Drained the coolant and pulled the rad out of mine today, there wasn't enough antifreeze in the mix to stop it from freezing lol

Also put the KL out of my protege onto my engine stand so I can pull the oil pan to weld in the oil return for the turbo

[BUSTIVA]

Drug it out from behind the shed where it has been taking a nap for the last 2 years. Cleaned it up, looked it over, put some new gas in it, fired right up like I just parked it LOL. Then threw some new xxr 15x8.25 wheels on it...pics soon.

[Oren09]

Rolled it over to 70,000 miles yesterday.
