You're right Gomez, I need an inline fuse on the battery + to number 30 on the relay wire, I just didn't have one on hand but will do so this weekend when I move my battery to the passengers side behind the headlight.

Finally finished the aspire swap but I'm having an issue with the right brake caliper binding up. I replaced the caliper and it is still doing it, I suspect the caliper mounting ears on the knuckle may be bent. Also properly torqued all the wheel bearings and greased my poly torsion beam bushings.

added a new Festiva to the fleet. my wife said if I found an auto she would drive it. so be it, there is now a green 93GL auto car here now. the old suburban will soon be retired due to gas consumption and near $4 per gallon to fill up.91 Festiva GL "Scrat"

Put on lower control arms and tie-pod ends. Noticed they were bad when changing the rotors 2 weeks ago, but money only goes so far, so I had to wait til I got more of it.
lol
So, in the past 2 weeks......
-new front wheel bearings(Timken)
-new rotors
-new calipers
-new brake pads
-new lower control arms
-new tie-rods
-new cv boots and re-packed cv joints
-DIY alignment, runs straight and true
now...its time to look at the rear brakes/suspension

Tinted the drivers side rear window. 2 down & the hatch to go
Saved the hardest for the last since I never applied tint b4. Side windows turned out nice but a little worried on the hatch from horror stories of creases. Anyone got any tips?

Nah, pulled the knuckle and took it to a shop for the bearings. I took a big hammer, started to drive them out, but I cant stand using a hammer on bearings. Mine were a pretty tight press fit.Originally posted by 200KGPGTP View Post
I quizzed some shops about the bearings first, and the guy that knew about the Festy bearings and shims got the job! An old time drag car builder.

There use a special tool for pressing the hubs apart. I made my own based on the ford tool. Hopefully the shop you took it to has something like that.
I raced my festy at the Autox today. It was a blast, even with crappy tires I was able to come within 1 sec of my buddy who drives a suby on race rubber. I need to find some springs to get it a little lower without losing contact on full extension. The car sits too high with 13"s
