        Unfortunately, no it does not. It has had the Weber Carb Swap and has not work since.

            • Nothing, still waiting on word from bhazard on that 4-speed transmission.


              Just got done changing the oil on the car my friend let me borrow for a few days. An Olds Alero. A GM piece of crap.
              He is very bad at getting oil changes, even when there is a light on the dash telling him to do so. Every time I have ridden with him, that light is always on, same with the low washer fluid light. Since I am OCD about that sort of thing, so as a thanks for letting me borrow the car, I filled it up with a cheap bottle of rainx all season, and gave it a oil change, then reset the oil light.

              At least he has had at least one other oil change since I last did it, because I never used a NAPA Proselect filter, I only use Purolator. But whoever he took it to must have used a damned impact on the drain bolt because it was a pain to get off without a ramp.

              • Going to call this guy tomorrow about a Red 96' Auto Aspire for $350 with clean title. Drivable but is going to need an axle. Person says they will scrap it Friday if no buys it, going to call the person tomorrow.
                But won't be able to fork out the money until Friday.

                Body is in good shape, paint could use some work. But while my Festiva is down, I'd like to be able to drive something, and I have always wanted to drive an Aspire. Will make a good winter beater, since the heater in the Festiva sucks because it only blows at your feet, and takes ages to work. lol

                Hope the axle is good enough to make a 90 mile trip back home. Just going to throw my Festiva plates on it so cops don't bother me until I can get it properly registered.

                    • Well I guess I can drive it by slipping the clutch in 3rd. Going to wear the clutch out fast, also my gas mileage is going to be atrocious.

                          • Power up?
                            I sure home the strut spacing is identical.
                            Good luck.
