  • Windshield is finally on Chuck! I'll put up some pics in the Garage thread once I find the camera cable. He is now 99% road ready, just gotta find the two crossmember bolts I lost somewhere in the mess that is the interior. Then comes the fun part of removing the interior and getting out all 5,000,000,000 pieces of glass that used to be only five pieces
    No festiva for me ATM...

    • Experimented with cluster lighting. The LEDs I bought won't fit.
      So I took some red plastic sheeting I had and cut it the size of the green lens.
      It looks pretty good. I would like to try the same thing to my tach and climate control illumination.

      • Turned more things red.

        I took apart my tach and used the lens to cut a circle of red film. Then cut a slit halfway up and a small circle in the middle. I can't remove the needle so I slid the film over it and behind the RPM scale. Works pretty good. Unfortunately I broke the glass lens putting it back together so my tach is open now..

        I cut a film for the climate control panel but the lights behind it are so dim it's not visible with any ambient light and very faintly red in darkness.

        • Nothing on the Festiva today I did replace the central bezel yesterday. Fixed the Aspire's hatch cover today and took off the ps and ac belt a few days ago. I think the mileage already went up 2-3mpg.. probably just my imagination though.

          • Uploaded pics of a bunch of random crap i've done over the last 2 weeks or so.. it's raining or i'd of cleaned my spark plugs with a wire brush.. I messed with the tachometer a little bit today, there's a small dial on the back but I don't know what it's supposed to do, hoping it will fix the issue with the new tach, it works for 5-10 miles, then sticks on a rpm and freezes there till you shut the car down for 10 minutes or more. Really hope I don't have to send it back to indochinesianam or where ever it's from >.< The new vacuum gauge works good tho!

              • zoom zoom ... please buy some jack stands from harbor freight for 12-15 bucks and save your life. I mean that in all seriousness. It takes less than a minute to get your jack stands under your car and they're a million times more stable than that little scissor jack. looks good tho mate

                • Replaced my washer fluid line. Old one fell off the hood nozzle and was spliced in places from rats chewing.
                  For future reference, 6ft is not enough to properly route the hose around the washer fluid bottle and along the fender.
