What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Nerd Racing]

lol you wouldn't want to see it right now... the original fabric on the under side of the top was trashed. it disintegrated when I pulled on it... so i'm working on a replacement out of white vinyl. I did most of it with a machine but I didn't want to pull the ribs and frame apart so I'm attaching it the old fashioned way to the rib loops... hand sewn...

You'll like the hydro clutch Chris. Still swinging my my place on the way to FM5?



Did more work on the headliner for the funtop... this thing is taking forever... it better look nice and not leak!

Pics! Did mine recently too. Would love to see your work!

Thanks, after a couple years of on and off tig welding I'm finally getting to the point where I'm not ashamed of my beads. I will be installing a functional hood scoop, but with a cable operated flap that will allow me to close it in rain or snow. I need to figure out how I'm going to do it first though.

I did manage to finish the welds on the air cleaner tonight. I need to pick up some hardware tomorrow and install it after work.

:lol: it's the clutch adapter, the first version put way too much sideways stress on the cable causing it to break........ each time it's broke, i've welded some threaded rod onto it to patch it up to re-use it, probably creating weak points in it due to the heat.......... i've also re-worked my clutch bracket probably 3 times and i was sure i had the bugs worked out but with a weak cable, it's hard to tell for sure......... so now i just lost patience with it, and just want a reliable setup and at this point, that means converting to hydraulic

[walth]

is it really that bad? does the KLZE go through cables?

[Damkid]

I changed the clutch cable on my car.......... again......... i'm bringing a spare with me to FM5 and picking up another one while i'm there........... i'll be converting my festiva to hydraulic clutch over the winter for sure

Went out and made some 1/8 mile power passes, tried to log my pass with my phone dyno app but forgot to change the weight from 3300lbs to 1760 so the results got screwed lol told me 507h/p and 496 ft lbs lol yeah right hahahahahahahaha

Removed, dissembled, and cleaned the driver's side dome light switch with a wire brush.. The light was working intermittently and it works great now.

I have an idea for the skeeters. And it will be funny to see me up there!

[walth]

you should add a little screen for skeeters so you don't get eaten up since all this rain...they were bad at the yard today too

that'll be funny seeing you get up in that little space paul, lol

Hate to say nothing done to the Festiva didn't even drive it. Hate to say even more going with the Aspire on my daily commute. Slightly heavier which helps alot. Those expansions joints are bad enough to make my false teeth out.. and won't have those for another 30 years!
