3. plug wires
4. Distributor cap
5. rotor button
6. fuel filter
7. air filter
8. oil filter
9. oil
10 wiper blades front
11. wiper blade rear
12. Rain-x
13. cleaned all the windows
14. Vacuumed
15. sprayed another set of 12" steelies black.
16. Put another set of chrome trim rings on
17. put center caps on

Steps 2-18 were done today. Along with having my new a.c. pressure checked and filled and a new receiver drier installed.

All of this to prep for the spring meet! Clemson here we come!

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.

Part number is #46-062.

See this thread:

It has a pic of the dealer page on shifters.

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.

[DrMaxwellEdison]

will have to look at that tomorrow? How's everything treating you on your side of Thomas Terrace?

[walth]

it's a stupid design. if you're at the front of the car looking down at the water pump there's sort of a T off the main line that travels behind the manifold and goes over the tranny. near the "t" it's a pressure fit with an o-ring, or two...they leak after a while

[DrMaxwellEdison]

hmmmmm

removed the exhaust manifold and down tube; tried to fix the leak in the o-ring bypass tube but had to put the old o-rings back in. Installed tubular aspire exhaust mani and reused festi DT.

interestingly enough I just did the same thing with an Aspire Mani and Festi DT.... O-ring Bypass tube? wheres that?

Got Aqua ready for a long trip coming up in the next couple weeks. Put on a right side mirror. It's a power mirror someone had cut the wires short so I'm just using it "as is" and it continues the "don't match Mutt" look.
