What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[TorqueEffect]

Unfortunately only been driving the Monte Carlo lately. Much better winter/highway car. Granted being nearly 3700lbs, and only a 160HP V6 with a 4speed slushbox behind it, it definitely is slower than the Festiva, and handles far worse. But very comfortable, and not as many quirks as my festiva has. Though the rear strut towers have rusted through on the driver's side, and it is getting there on the passenger's side.

Plus I only have 1 key for the Festy, and it is on the verge of breaking. I had my other key in a hideaway box underneath, but it fell off. =/

Once it gets warm I am just going to swap all the locks and ignition over from the 88LX since that has 2 perfect keys.

On Trixie, I cleaned and painted the calipers black, turned the rotors and put new brake pads on.
Look much better with the Miata wheels now.

Got my 4 165/60-R13 tires from Tire-Easy today.
$162.10 shipped.
They sent the correct ones & I got them in 3 days.
No problems, I was worried after reading the problems some have had with them.

Cleaned my Festy. The week isn't complete unless it is shining like a mirror. Took her for a quick spin too.

I have bever taken a hose or a bucket of water to my Festiva. I have never ever waxed it ever. Maybe this summer, before I get all the pretty girls to pose with it.

Got my front coilovers on. Trying to work on wheel bearings as well.

I made it into the troubleshooting phase of my wiring got the main wires hooked up to the key start now it should just be a matter of time before I have it running

Cleaned about 200 plus pounds of junk out of the Monte Carlo.

My god, he may be my friend but good god, that car was literally a rolling dumpster. LITERALLY

There was a shirt in the back seat that disintegrated when I picked it up to throw it away, I had to vacuum out the rest of the shirt because it got everywhere. I hope the seatbelts are not part of the seat, because if they are I am just going to replace the whole back seat, I wouldn't even let a dog sit on it. But if I can just remove the belts and throw them in the washing machine, then rent a rug doctor to clean the seats, I can get that interior at least disinfected. I also found panties under the passenger seat D=

Yeah its likely just a little off. We didn't have to bend the bar, but it was too close for comfort.

Hey wtffestiva , I hope that's just the picture . Sure looks like it's to far to the left . I've never had to bend a shift rod like that . You Might have axle popping issue .

[drddan]

Got it on the right way now?! :mrgreen:
Ha! I did not know that the shifter on the G series was 90 degree from the Festy E series til I read your thread the other day. Seemed it was quite a shock to you too!

[WTFestiva]

Replaced the fusible links. Soldered and wired the disty on the bp, and turn signals, got our welding job fixed on the shift linkage and started wiring the starter but had soldering issues. Planning to stay the car Friday
