  • Crank seal and engine bay cleaning. OFFICIALLY LEAK FREE FESTIVA!!!!

    I also replaced a rear bearing and tightened the rest.... so much quieter in the back now.

    But now I think the alternator is on it's way out. Dims and flickers and brings the engine idle with it, not to mention now sends a buzzing frequency to the radio. (battery powered radio, not even connected to the car)
    Buck.

    • Had something happen last night that hasn't happened to me in a couple years... The "ten cent mile". Got 33.3MPG out of Green Car with gas priced at $3.33/gallon. Last time I did that was on a roadtrip hyper-miling the Saturn for 34.7MPG when gas was $3.45 lol. I had the MX6 in the the lower 30s a lot, but at that time gas was $3.50 and up so I never hit the ten cent mile in it. Hoping once I'm done with Chuck I can get even lower, if not, I may turn Green Car into a 5 speed lol.
      No festiva for me ATM...

          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                      • yeah, the front clip is just tacked onto the firewall. pretty scary. doesn't even connect back to the rails or anything. spot welds and caulk is about all the car has going for it lol
