What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Aroihkin]

My floor jack finally got here.



Old crusty failing master cylinder vs shiny new Escort GT mc.



Old blackened brake fluid flushed out, new in and bled for air on all four wheels. Brake pedal is niiiiiice now.

Glad to see the tires under the car for added safety, when the entire car is on those kind of jack stands it can get a little shaky.

The new trailer I got has a lawn care type rear ramp. It is like a parachute on the highway. I am playing with tongue weight on the car and having the ramp on a double support laid down but not flat to haul more stuff, without the aerodynamic drag. So far it looks like an easy way to jack the car up lol.

Well I replaced the MC with a stock Festy one but I really don't like the pedal feel (aspire brakes)so I ordered an Escort one. Not looking forward to doing that whole process all over again. Also bought a new flasher unit. Mine is less than reliable.

Need to fix my leaking heater core hoses. It never ends!

Did the Escort master cylinder bolt right on the Festiva vacuum reservoir?

My first time ever putting it up in the air, so I tried to be smart about it. Emphasis on 'tried'.

Yup! Everything bolted on exactly like the original; just tweaked one brake line to reach.

Put the Festiva up on blocks while there was still daylight after work (before the time change on Sunday morning). Yanked the battery out. Will remove the stock exhaust system and fit the headers this weekend. Trick or treat. The 2" dia. - 3 bolt exhaust pipe flanges have been ordered from eBay. Yes, I promise to post an mp3 of the sound of twin carbs without a muffler.

In the middle of changing the heater core/blower box. Just taking a lunch break. Hoping to replace the radiater, thermostat, intake hoses, cap and rotor, block the grille, insulate my heater hoses, install winter tires, install new headlamps and an HID kit. We shall see how far i get :p

ryan, I mailed the little bent hosey out this morning. I hope you get it, because
I didn't put a return address on the envelope. I needed tape to keep it closed.
The dollar store adhesive was useless. Aloha.
