What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[1990new]

Today I back flushed the cooling system, put in new coolant and changed the oil and filter on Trixie.
Only a little over 2,000 miles on the oil but the last change was in late September 2014 so it was time.

Got 13 inch 323 wheels (Thanks Tom), and new 155-80R tires installed on *Semper Fisteva* today. A sharp eye will pick out the spray can paint lid center caps.
A temporary measure until I get *real* caps sorted out. The lids, from Rustoleum 2X, fit snug on the center hole flange - as if they were destined for the application.
A phellow phestiva phan said this won't make it as a sticky' but it is in the running for a tacky.

I'll take $25 shipped for these if your interested.

'93 was running rough again, returning about 24MPG. Knowing I've gone over the entire fuel system, all I had left were the injectors. Found a video online about using a ratchet extension and a hammer to lightly "tap out" the crud in the injectors. As soon as I hit injector #3 the entire idle changed. Drove it for a bit, doing a lot better. Filled up and so far (already half a tank run out before trying this), MPG is back up to 31. I figure next tank'll be better, but we'll see.

Gotta love Youtube, I tell you what.

Posting a pic of my engine with a new distributor, new valve cover and red powdercoated air cleaner.

That's very cool also, very nice.

Broke the alternator. Too much boost.

Got to work on the gas tank install. While pulling the old one last night I discovered rust on some of the filler pipes. Remembering that the Festiva in currently in Pick n Pull was fairly low mileage I headed there this morning.


Here's the old and the replacement side by side.

I also picked up all the vapor control stuff seeing it was also in excellent shape.


New tank all prepped and ready to go.

The new tank is in but had to stop for a bit as my parents are stopping by unexpectedly this afternoon. Fuel pump rewiring is almost done too. Will finish up either tonight or tomorrow.

It's not a handicapped spot. No posted signs or paintings on the ground. I did it fair and square!
All though you made me double check the picture.

[bravekozak]

That's a handicapped parking spot! Shame on you. Actually, you could have fit two Festivas sideways in that spot!

[ottoparts]

I parked in the smallest available parking spot at the local mall. Wasn't sure that I could fit. :laughing3:

I've got a decent set of festiva steelie caps if they'll fit.

They wont fit. The Madza wheel has about a 1/2 inch flange around the center hole that covers the groove where the stock Festy caps snap on to. Thanks though.
