What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[villageidiot]

filled it up with gas for the first time after a 215 mile weekend. got 7.5 gallons in it.

29 ish mpg. 150 miles of traffic filled highways, and the rest was ripping up and down the malibu mountains. pushing her hard. even got it to slide. im pretty pleased with this little thing thus far (second tank of gas)

Installed new fuel filter. The idiot b4 had the filter up side down; Hoses hooked up wrong. Would that make it a "fool filter". sorry, that was lame.:spam1:

[thered56]

Yep. I'm pretty cool

Rock on, Charlie! :thumbup:

Who's bimmer?

It's my friends 86? 325i. His family has had that car since new. Has 280,000 miles on it and is still a quick little car. I just wish they took a little better care of it (cosmetically speaking)

Went to the yard to compression test a Festiva engine. All but one cylinder was around 200PSI, #3 was around 150PSI.
Picked up door pockets, antenna, and passenger seat belt from the same car (my Festy's passenger belt is cut). Then started disconnecting the engine to pull it this week.

Replaced passenger seat belt in my Festiva.

Installed a new (used) passenger headlight and a passenger mirror (thx fastivaca!). Now I just gotta find the plastic cover for the inside!

lined up a deal with Kartracer to get the wiring harness to the back lights hooked back up in my car so I can get it ready for inspection. TY Kartracer

That's no so bad....#2 on mine is less than 50psi :mrgreen:

[Oren09]

That's the engine I'm in the process of pulling.
Probably going back today to do some more work on it.

[200KGPGTP]

I'm scared to check my compression. It runs fine but...............

[htchbck]

Installed the energy suspension swaybar bushings Wow what a difference! Going to find my coolant leak tonight I hope.

[walth]

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.

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.

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.

hmmmmm

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

[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
