      Well, I do have free reign in the shop at work.

      Focustiva: Because I was told it was was impossible to fit a Focus bumper on a Festiva.

          • Finally got done with the wheel switching yesterday and was able to take a couple of pics before work.

            Enkei 12s on Babystiva (155R12 tires):



            "Licensed by BBS" (whatever that means) 13s on Green Car (155R13 tires):



            I'm pleased with the bump in ability to climb hills now in Babystiva (haven't driven Green Car yet since the swap), and hoping to break into the 30s on my MPGs as well. Adjusted for the difference (2% actual measured using the ODO vs. GPS, not the speedo) the 175/70R13s best MPGs were 29.6 with an average of about 26.5. A lot of that has been pizza mileage, which has always been consistently 2-3 below my normal driving average in all my other cars as well due to a combination of a lot of idling and the wind drag of having an huge magnetic pizza sign on the roof.
            No festiva for me ATM...

            • Put on red silicone wiper blades to continue the red & black theme on the car. Rainy day here today and they work amazing, a tiny upgrade long overdue. Because they are red in color I expect it also added 5hp :laughing7:

                      A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.
