        • Installed my Browning Tachical Seatcover on my drivers seat.
          My holser kept ripping my seat covers. Wont now ,this suckers heavy duty.
          It has pouches in the back, a zippered pouch on each side & a holster with 2 mag pouches in a rip open velcro pouch in the front.
          If you want pics find it on the Sportsmen Guide site.
          If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

            Nice! REAL Festiva swoopies!

            SWRT ... Those are original 1990 LX swoopies (as they are called) Only found on that year/model. BUT! You can get nearly the same swoopies off early 90's Protege's, The base it straight along the window side, the Festy base is curved to match the window curve, Both can be used on a Festy

            • Finishing up yesterday, I replaced all 4 struts with kyb excel-g's, installed new Festiva Store lowering springs, tie rod ends, control arms, sway bar to control arm bushings(right side had failed causing serious torque steer to left on acceleration, right on deceleration and the inspiration for starting all this), and brake pads and had front end alignment done. The photos show the lowering between 2 92 Festivas with the same Metro wheels and Kumho tires, so that any difference in stance may be attributed to the springs.1439477888457.jpg1439477936357.jpg1439478000017.jpg

                    Gorillas are lifetime garunteed.


                    Does anyone know what gorilla part numbers for the studs will fit the stock rims?

                      The escort map light may just be the best "unnoticed" mod to a Festy.

                        S is short, L is long.

                            Agreed. Add Led light and and never fumble in the dark again.

                              Better install some courtesy lights. Just in case something happens to fall on the floor.
