What have you done to your Festiva today!?

^^ Always use jack stands just in case

I don't trust any jack, hydraulic or mechanical, and stands are good insurance. It only takes one "aww crap!" moment to mess you up.

Yep. Jacks are only meant for lifting.
I have a 3 ton floor jack and it ticks and drops in height a tiny unmeasurable amount every couple of seconds just from the weight of a Festiva.
I will not get under a car if it's not supported by jack stands.


Oh, and I put a little oil in the Festy and drove it.
I've been driving my truck all weekend...

Mine failed, the metal at the pivot point is cracked on one side, made it start to lean..and slowly but surely hit the pavement.

I should sue dodge for putting out such low quality shit, its for my mini van! But then they'd counter its not made for my car blah blah.. I'd think a jack made for a minivan's weight would me more than sufficient to hold up the front/driver side of an aspire.

Replaced the driver side LCA..almost got smashed in the process..the jack failed hard.

Funny, the same thing happened to me today too. My jack sank into the soft ground because of the rain yesterday.

More info please Looks good! What is it from? Did it just clip to the speaker grill?

If I recall correctly those screw on with 2 or three screws. You can get them at a lot of places, I got the one I had in my Toyota pickup at a truckstop along the interstate, but I have seen them at autoparts stores and even walmart. It folds up all nice when your not using it, really a nice sturdy little holder, but you can't fit big drinks in it.

Picked up a brush guard for my dad's f-150 for his birthday present. Dad will be 79.

Installed a aspire brake booster, and escort gt master cylinder today. The brakes feel great now. I also made some rallyarmor style mudflaps for the front. I would have preferred them in black rather than red, but I'm not one to turn down free parts.

Got my down pipe installed, flex joint, deleted cat, straight pipe to a 25 inch Cherry Bomb glass pack and then exiting out in front of the passenger side rear wheel. It is very loud, but sounds pretty good when I get on it hard. I will probably have to put another glass pack on to quiet it down or just leave it and get used to it. Lost a little low end torque but it picks up pretty quickly once revs build up. Pics tomorrow, its been raining all day.

Thanks! But, I was too slow and missed them, a friend of mine ran into my festy, when it was parked in the driveway, with his big dodge diesel pickup and smashed the bumper, put a dinger in the fender and smooshed the little strip of metal under the headlight, so I need one of those too for the left side. I just ordered a stock replacement front bumper cover off ebay. I need something to get the car on the road so I can get it ready for FM5.
I've been pretty busy and it's almost harness time, which I figure will consume at least a week. Have the EVTM for both the festy and the capri and lots of heatshrink, solder and terminals galore and several Ford/Mazda harnesses and of coarse the most important part, all of you who have been here before!
