What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[DrMaxwellEdison]

Thanks for the information Brave, now if I could just find product numbers on this thing, I'd really like to make it nice again, while it doesn't leak now, I know eventually that it'll happen inevitably, and it'd be nice to have a stock pile of parts off to the side to just be able to repair it then and there

If you're looking for a decent horn, check out the ford freestyle. I plan on putting one on my car when I get a chance.

Finally put my AC in!!! [emoji592] first time ever having air conditioning in a car. Gets pretty hot here in Naples,now I'll survive some. Mechanic said I should get a new accumulator & orifice tube to blow colder or better. Now I'm learning about air conditioning. Keep it on circulate air and AC button on. Gonna get this car back in shape.

Yeah I had bought those Gorilla ones as well, but too big to fit my Konig Incidents.

To big ?
Diameter or legnth ?

Ripped its heart out, finally. Ended up triple checking everything and still forgetting the right heater core hose. Bent it up.

i looked at it.... realized what my weekend plans are..... working on festiva while my kid brother is off to the river to have a good time while i sweat it out at work for the 14th and 15th day in a row.

my poor dirtbike is in the garage like, dude...... what happened to me?!

Did the Rio swap, bled the brakes, installed new control arms and escort tie rod ends, drove her, the wheel fell off, put it on with Rio bolts instead of Festiva... She's all good now haha.

I am guessing the Rio Lug bolts are a size bigger than the Festiva ones. lol

[Basement_Modder]

Not really... The heads are slightly larger at the base but still 14mm. The threads are also slightly longer.

I did only use a ratchet to torque them the first time... Used a snap on cordless impact @ 110 ft lbs the second time haha.

Finally got my tach cluster put in my daily driver if for no other reason than to have the headlight buzzer

Replaced a locked-up passenger side wheel cylinder on the white 5 spd AC unit.
Never seen one like this.
Replaced a few leaking ones, but ever a seized wheel cylinder.
Now on to the front struts.

[Chobobulous]

Got the new timing belt and tensioner pulley in on. I was under the impression that the pulley should move laterally. At 14-20 ftlbs it doesnt move at all.

Am I missing something here?

Also, the little sock for the spring was destroyed. That shouldn't be a problem though right.

[bravekozak]

If you have the spring installed correctly, there should be some slight lateral movement in order to maintain the proper timing belt tension at all times.
