What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[drddan]

Installed a flush and fill kit and flushed the cooling system on the Festy.
It needed it too. After I flushed the entire system till it ran clear, with the drain open and cap off, I would put my finger on the drain to flow water thru top of radiator for a bit, and then remove my finger to let it drain. All the while the garden hose was hooked up and running. When I did...all the water came out the drain looking WHITE. Almost like milk. I think it was just sediment in the radiator. After flushing like that, back and forth from forcing water out the top of radiator, and then bottom of radiator thru drain it started running clear out of the bottom drain again. I figured I had gotten it pretty clean by then.

Apparently in the town it is when you have the wrong plate on a car, even though I was transfering the plate to the festiva.

I took the proof of insurance and the registration to there city hall and they threw the tickets out.

Thanks for the info. Thats stupid.

Put 9.5 gallons of gas in it last night. I'm getting quite upset..... Mileage has been steadily falling the last 1.5 months from 40 to this tank... 30 mpg! FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I'm feeling the same way. Went from around 40 to 32 in the last 2 months.

Now that officer has two dismissed tickets on his record. Lol. Why do they even bother ticketing for insurance and registration things. Most of the time people still have them, just not current papers in the car. I've had two or three insurance tickets dismissed because the card in the car expired and the new policy documents were still in the house.

What in unlawful removal??

Good info Willie! I am planning a b6t/festy auto as well. Good luck and post up the results!

[Joe Dirt]

Got pulled over for no real reason. Got a couple tickets for unlawful removal and no proof of insurance gotta love small town police must be that time of the month...

[GenevaDirt]

The B6T is in....temporarily though....







found out that I may have to modify the oil pan to get the axle in. I am using a Festy auto tranny and the pan does not work with it...

I buffed up Jerry some. This past Wenesday was his 23RD birthday.

[ericsmith32]

Aired up the tires and cleaned the windshield on the Festiva. 35psi on one side and the other had 30psi on the front.. no wonder it was driving odd. The rears had only 28 pumped them up to 32. Weird the Escape had 25psi on one and 30 in the other.

[Nerd Racing]

fixed that vacuum line the other day and took it out for some highway miles today and it ran much better! fuel gauge hasn't moved since I filled it up too. Lets hope it takes its time moving. I was only getting 26 mpg when I drove it home from York PA.

Saved myself 60 bucks by salvaging some front rubber brake hoses of my parts car. Sprayed them with WD-40 and massaged them so the rubber wasn't dried out. Cleaned the threads real good and hooked them up!

[Charlie1717]

LIKES! Charlie you guys need to come down a day earlier and spend a day in Charleston before madness

I wish, but for me (and I think some others) I have work/school and can barely get off that Friday unfortunately.
