What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[navdoc101]

Replaced the Solid Lingage Bushing & Sleeve. The bushing was all ate up , not much left. Could not git to the Shifter Bushings with 'Tiva on ramp. Not enough room , & no fun on my back on the ground. My sons gonna see if a friend of his will let us rent or use one of his shops lifts. Maybe for a 12pack of Coronas.

.... I for one will be VERY interested in your results. Had considered this myself. How bad is yours smoking and how well is yours running?
Mine runs like crazy and just blows the smoke out of the crank case.
.

It runs pretty good as long as I keep the number two spark plug clean. It fouls up pretty quick and starts to miss. I have lots of smoke coming out the exhaust. Best I've come up with is valve seals or head gasket, so I'm going to put a known good head on, replacing the head gasket in the process.

If it still smokes or has issues, then I know the problems is bad piston rings.

Dropped off the head from my old engine at the machine shop.
Getting it checked and seals replaced so I can swap heads on my car- hopefully in one day. And hopefully cure the smoking.

Actually in mine there was all three holes needed for the Escort light. You have to cut towards the back and some to the front to make it work.

pull down a little on your headliner and look about an inch back towards the hatch, there's already an extra unused (is it threaded?) hole it's magic! just re-wire it and screw it in and good to go

How do the Escort dome lights mount? I looked at them, but they're much bigger than the Festiva ones. I currently have an Aspire dome light held up by the grounding screw. It's crooked and ugly, but it works.

Installed an Escort dome light with DriverOnes help. (He did most, if not all the work).
Many Thanks!!

.... Replaced the Master Brake Cylinder in my Festie today. The first replacement was defective, wouldn't pump out of the rear cylinder brake line fitting while trying to bleed it. Thought for a while, on the second one, I was going to have a leak from the tank, on top, plugs in to rubber grommet on the front of the cylinder casting. Bleed it down and took it for a test drive, all seems well, job done.

yes the tires where 195 60 14. did you have any clerance issues? As for the rotor, it seems to be a common problem for me. last time i bought a rotor was at carquest and it wouldnt even fit on the dizzy. im not sure if maybe when buying the cap and rotor make sure you get the same brand so the points match up, or maybe they just dont have the right part number? the other thing we had issues with was finding a cap. My cap was broke, none of the local stores had one for a turbo 1.6, we looked at a bp one but the depeth was different. we asked if they had a N/A capri 1.6 cap, and what do you know they did! it matched up with my turbo one but was a little wider. i wonder what the difference is between the 2. the n/a one is on my car now and is working.

no clearince issues, i have a 1/8" spacer in front and 1/4" in rear with the aspire swap.

Do want tach!!!!!!!

Yesterday, had my Falkan Azenis installed, unfortunetly Discount tire failed to see the rear tires where extremely close to the rear axle beam, on turns they would rub, i corrected the issue right away and used some washers to bring the wheel out a little further, no rubbing! tried to figure out why my car keeps breaking up around 5k rpm. we found we had the wrong rotor, it sat to low and caused a major gap between the rotor and distributor points, fixed some vacuum leaks and boost leaks. Still have the issue. turbo is spiking to 20 psi and some times i get a miss fire. i think i might go COP.

are they 195-60-14? i love mine!
