What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[M3NTAL]

I've been driving around with no lock nut on my steering wheel for the past 3 weeks and finall installed a new one yesterday, installed another factory steering wheel that was in better shape, I also cleaned up my new door panels ! And I vacuumed the car also!

Thanks RJ and Chris for hooking me up!

^ engine leaks are never good but that one has been leaking for a little while and as long as it isn't dripping oil you should be good just keep an eye on it.

Got my car sanded. Hood is back on. Need to do some straightening on the rear bumper before I replace my hatch isn't closing. Time is running out.

Man your working fast at getting it re-built!! Way to go!!

Fired it up and drove it to get some milk and bananas. Man the RIO ball bearing strut tops make it feel effortless to drive! I almost under steered into a curb because I went to turn the wheel like my protege (power rack with looped lines).

Unloaded all the parts I cleaned at work, thought about my next plan of attack then jumped in the maverick and headed home

Just replace it it's not that hard and cheap. Unless you've put it back together. All you really need is a strong pick to pull the old one out. I used a sealer puller and it did scratch the shaft a bit... not good.

Yeah.. that's what I'm worried about. I've been reading up on it here and I'm not sure how to remove the timing gear and I'm scared to scratch the crank.

It's on my list. I've put the front of the engine back together for now but left off the timing cover to keep an eye on the belt and leak.

Fixed the front passenger and turned the the strut top hat. Hopefully that'll fix the inner tire wear it did the other. On a side note I'll never buy another tire from Walmart. Bunch of damn rip off artists. The screw was over 1/2 from the sidewall.. sorry we can't fix that too close to the sidewall you're going to have to buy another tire. BS apparently they're not smart enough to use a smaller patch. Took it to a tire shop and they fix it easily. Too bad I paid for the road hazard.

Adjusted timing belt.
Removed slack from throttle cable.

Noticed a leak:




Front crank seal, correct? What is the difficulty? And is the leak bad enough to require replacement now or is it still ok for awhile?

Also, new intake thrown in quickly because I'm tired and want to sleep, I'll tidy it up tomorrow. Much thanks to iceracerdude for this one, it works great.

I finally started it up! B6t runs great, new lifters need to pump up, but other than that everything works. Looking good on making it out to FM5.
