What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[htchbck]

Yes. tint is necessary for Festivas. After my first 5 not having the one we just got does and it makes a MASSIVE difference. Last night in between my two jobs I put in the radiator, no more leaks And then on the road for pizza I started getting an intermittent misfire. Pulled into AZ and bought some plugs and wires, all the plugs were old, and one of the wires broke off with little resistance when I went to remove it. Its much smoother now. About to head out and put my new motor mount on before I head to work, thanks Kartracer!

Installed a new stereo. Somebody got into my car and stole my old stereo about a month ago. Broke the radio bezel too. Too bad for them the old one was half dead! CD wouldnt work and was shorting out the cigarette lighter, and didnt sound right. Well the new one is in and sounds 5X better, got a bezel and its all better now.

I need tint......

yep, I'm thinking radiator at lunch time, then after work head home and get the mount before I go in for pizza delivery tonight . We're at the end of the mail line so we don't get our mail till around 4PM . But either way, I'm just glad we're taking the festiva to the meet

Figured out for sure that Babystiva is leaking from the radiator itself and not the top radiator hose... good news is that the new rad should be here by 12:30 so I can put it in today. Babystiva should still be making the trip to Clemson this weekend

cool and the rear mount should be there too.:blob4:

You get the new bushings at any Mazda dealer.

Put on new shifter bushings at the shifter bottom. Nice! Feels like a new car again. Well, a "new" 1991 124K mile Festiva with lotsa rust underneath my original paint and rivets art work.

Where do you get the bushings?

Slammed the front of Rustiva!

hahaha j/k
Me and my buddy (Rustiva's owner) pulled the B3, or more correctly dropped it, with atx tranny (and driver's side axle shaft) attached. Then we lifted the front of the car up and over the engine rolling it on the back wheels. When we set it down it looked like the front was slammed. We had to get a picture of that with a wheel in there! I also tidied up my car shelter a bit. Darn neighbours cats like to chill in my car shelter and sometime leave their business behind! grrr I love cats...but...

finally got my cooling fan working and started to clean it up for the SC meet.
