    so today my brake lines did NOT fit the aspire calipers. I'll have to check and see if the m/t (18v) calipers fit vs having the a/t (22v) brakes. I had read that they fit...but then again we all know how that goes.

    Did some searching to find out other people had the same issues 4+ years ago haha

    Bought replacements for 40 bucks at AZ will have the car back on the road tomorrow...pain

I'm getting used to not having a console or box at all though... so much more room for my "grasshopper legs" (as wifey calls them) to fold into. Lol

    Is a whole lot closer to a BP G-series swap in the white car.

    Did this Yesterday...

    Pulled the escort consul out of my protege to see how it fit:



    seemed like it was missing something... oh look part of the 5 piece consul from my 4wd protege...







    I'm thinking a little bit of creative cutting, a black dye job, and some simple brackets and it will do just fine!

    I don't generally like round headlights on the festiva but that looks pretty bangin. probably because there's no grille to make the lights look goofy and recessed. of course, just my opinion. looks awesome there though!

    Put our family stickers and the Escort dome light on Babystiva. Planning on swapping the alloys off of green car onto Babystiva sometime this week in hopes of finally breaking into the 30s in MPG. Got 29.8 adjusted for the 13s, but thats the highest she's been.

    Heater core for the Festiva can be had for $95.00 or $131.00 from RockAuto... bought one from them a while ago and it works great.
    I spent 2 hours on the phone and no one in Canada had anything, the parts car is a baby with only 70 000k so I should be ok, so far so good.

    Today I added 1 litre of oil, dam you leaky seals!!

    this morning I got some longer bolts for my stand, and got the engine in the air.

    This afternoon I rebuilt my aspire calipers and then put on aspire outer tie rod ends and we'll see how close I got the alignment...

    tomorrow will be brakes, reinstall a couple things in the engine bay, replace the IAC, check the alignment and hopefully be done with this swap! (until I get coilovers hehe)
