What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Twistiva]

Thanks...
Had some scuffs but they came right off....best thing I've found to clean the plastic parts is a Mr Clean Magic Eraser sponge and water.
Cleans it up like Magic.

Holy crap!!!..... drool .......hot water? cold water? magic water?, ha! ha!......so how bad were the scuffs? Those look freaking incredible!

Did massive amounts of cyclone donuts, with clouds of smoke being produced

Pretty much the only way to go. I buy full Capri xr2's for $300 take what I can sell some more and scrap the car for $300. It sucks but once a car is so far gone its just best for parts.

This is the reason I haven't finished my aspire rear swap. They killed me just getting the front from a junk car and then have to replace everything anyway. Stupid.

You nailed it right there. Every time I've pulled an Aspire swap I ask myself why am I pulling the rotor and caliper since I'll be replacing them anyway and all I really need is the knuckle...but they always charged a decent price for the whole assembly and it's easier to pull than parting it out on the spot. They've since went up on all their prices and seem to have gotten more greedy. I wonder if I pulled a swap now if they would charge for the rotor, caliper, knuckle....maybe even the bearings and seals based on last weeks experience



In other Festiva related news. Motoxpress and I tweaked the new stainless exhaust system some more last night and I ditched the Yosh pipe in favor of a Borla. It's louder now, but sounds way better....and definitely doesn't sound like a stock B3 anymore

Put on my FordFestiva.com stickers the other day! Otherwise running happy!! Knock on wood!

These are the problems i'm having with my local yards anymore. Used to be you could pull a complete engine for 200, didn't care what was still attached to it... now they want you to strip everything off AND they're charging a 2% surcharge for all parts AND their core prices are low enough that it's almost not worth it to take your parts back to them AND they're charging more seemingly by the day.

Got a set of Rio power windows and arm rests from 91bluefestiva and contracted with Christ for an A/C system, going for a loaded Festiva.

[bravekozak]

It's not loaded unless you also have cruise, power steering, power locks and a power antenna.

[Oren09]

I've got cruise and power locks.
Not sure there's enough space for a power A pillar antenna.
And who needs power steering in a Festiva? Just more stuff in the way.

[bravekozak]

O.K., then how about lighted vanity mirrors?

[getnpsi]

Today i broke the passenger window crank. Replaced with grey window crank off the other car. Then it broke tonight when i rolled up the window. 35 dollar power windows or 30 dollar billet handles? decisions decisions LOL

Door arm rests only or center console as well? I notice that the rio interior piece in the middle might work in festivas as its smaller.

[bravekozak]

How does telescopic steering wheel and glovebox cooling work?

Got the power locks, plan on cruise, shark fin antenna and so far I'm not feeble enough to want power steering.....yet....

Lube the channels to prevent this. I use white lithium grease.
