What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[ericsmith32]

Rides fine, I drove it hard down the hwy to test it out. I actually have better clearance at the rear strut perch now. Someone must have had a bad tire on one of the rims. They tire guy removed four ounces of weight from one rim and only had to add 3/4 of an ounce back to get it balanced.

Yeah that tire was bad.. still had good tread the only reason I kept it. Need to put it on the back next time.

wow, just one thing after another for you eh chris?

I just bought rotors and pads for my front aspire swap. gonna rebuild the calipers tonight and get the knuckles and struts ready for tomorrow morning and have it swapped up and ready for the meet.

can't you just drop the trans down and slide it off? or is this way easier?

I think the crank pulley would hit the frame before the tranny dropped low enough to get off the engine



Last night i pulled the motor/trans and found a hole in the tranny case.... the diff pin rotated and sheared the roll pin and worked its way out of the diff to carve the hole in the case...... stupid phantom grips..... anyway, today i got the next hybrid tranny ready, then bolted it to the motor and got them back in the festiva... another hour of work and it'll be back up and running

I have pics of the damage but photobucket's not co-operating, once i get pics loaded i'll post them

Ouch that's a bit steep! How does it ride with those rims?

Ouch that's a bit steep! How does it ride with those rims? Speaking of tires one of the Festiva's has a flat.. that's a first. Typically it's the Escape with flats.

Got some different wheels mounted on Frankenstiva. Still missing an "Eagle Alloy" center cap. I see some on ebay for $25 each which is more than I paid for the wheels. :shock:

Theres so much awesomeness in that trucktiva, words cannot describe it.

Got new NGK Plugs, can't wait to install, im hoping it'll kill the slight 1/2" vibration in my vacuum gauge occasionally!
