What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[GenevaDirt]

Got the B3 back in and running....just need to hook up exhaust and axles....will be back on the road.

[GenevaDirt]

That sucks Willie, how come you couldn't get the swap finished up in time?

more parts needed then what originally thought.....car sat for a long time before I could get it to my house to pull the motor and actually start working on the swap....I was/am at the mercy of the weather not having a garage.

[JPT]

Put KYB struts on the back of mine. I didn't know that I knew that many words to call the strut to axle beam bolts.

They would have been a (insert banned word here) to get out, but a little time with a Sawzall took care of them. Afterwards, I got to play with my new MIG.

4 new Boss Audio speakers went in too.

Not today but this week! Gotta fix the back of my red car the back tire desided to turn sideways Driving on the highway Yay fishtailing at 65mph. Next day driving on highway and blue one desided to not have brakes yay score... Need new brake lines for that yay...

it wasnt today, but last week i finally got the short throw shifter from my ol' civic in the fes. replaced the crappy oem shifter bushings with some nice bronze ones. no more slop on either end now. topped off with a gsr shift knob i had, much more natural feeling, just a bit lower than the original. the spring was a PITA, but overall i cant believe i waited as long as i did to finally get that done.

now i just need to get the motivation to repack the rear wheel bearings, replace the drivers side axle and seal, dist. o-ring, cap, rotor, timing belt, tensioner, misc seals, and water pump that are floating around in the basement here- then i can start some fun stuff.

This is an 1/8" off.

maybe the mount was boxed wrong....isn't there a difference in a Festy versus Aspire mount....I have had Aspire brakes in a Festy box before...

Are you serious ! You're going backwards. I hate rework,

Not more then I do right now....but I need the car on the road for the winter and we just had our first snow....not driving the LX in the winter here...it is getting put in storage.

[neanderpaul]

Yeah, hating that for you willie.

[kumalaba]

put the B6T swap on hold and dropped the B3 back into my car....just have to hook up the wiring and exhaust...oh...and the axles.

[freshtiva]

I put a front motor/trans mount on my buddy's 89 automatic LX. Went to put on the rear trans mount. It didn't fit. too narrow. They only sell the rear mount for the manual. Anybody have a line on a rear trans mount? I'm considering trimming the trans to use the manual trans rear mount.

I ran into that too when I was putting Jerry back togather. Bought all ( 3) the used auto mounts I could find.

Anybody have a line on a rear trans mount? I'm considering trimming the trans to use the manual trans rear mount. Autozone, O'Reilly's, Advance, and napa only have the rear trans mount for the 5 speed. I also put steering rack boots on it and freed up the pass side parking brake.

do you still have the old mount? when i pulled the motor on my auto the mount separated, we took a piece of sheet meta drilled a hole for the bolt to go through, welded the bolt to the sheet metal and wrapped it around the rubber and welded it, its now a solid mount but im sure it will work fine, and wont have to be replaced again! unfortunately i didnt get any pictures, we just did it last week too.

[neanderpaul]

I helped someone put on the rear mount last summer....bought it for the manual but he had an auto....worked fine

This is an 1/8" off.

[my03devilz]

I didn't do it, but hubby did if that counts... got the dual thermostat in that he drove hours for, got a rad flush, and got rear brakes that it turned out weren't squealing, but it was the ebrake hanging up...... and hubby noticed an oil leak while doing the radiator
