What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[frankenfester]

I trying to use search to find instructions for those spacers. I looked Mazda EPC, there are 21 different spacers, they start from 6,285mm and goes to 7,085mm wide. Could they be same in left and right?

From what I know from doing my bearings peridocially, they should be stamped with a number. Both my driver and passenger sides have a tiny 11 stamped on them. As far as I know that means they are the same. I don't have a micrometre so I couldn't tell you for sure if they measure the same.
You can always take the passenger side spacer in to a kia dealer and tell them you need a "Rio hub preload spacer" that matches the one you brought them exactly. That's probably your best bet.
On mine I believe they are exactly the same. But they are spindle-specific. Not knuckle-specific. I've had all kinds of hub knuckles with these spindles and spacers, and they work just fine.

Spaced my subframe so the motor would sit flat in the engine bay with the aspire mounts. Still have to fab a front mount. Installed the passenger side axle and the shifter linkage as well..

Sent from the trash can.

Today I cut metric threads into a hurst ball I had lying around and stuck it on my civic shifter. I also cut my rio springs I think two coils...

Installed studs & lug nuts on my Aspire front suspension swap.

Today I got the right CV axle changed and the front end aligned. ($100.00 total). I also found the shifter bolt loose on the shifter end of the linkage. After tightening it up, no more sloppy shifter. Plus got the front end aligned on my Dakota and the oil changed.

I use metric nyloc nuts on the shifter bolts. Too much continuous movement to chance a nut falling off in the snow.

Put the new Passenger side mirror on. Got the washer motor in the mail and will change it on Saturday

Did you end up getting it from someone else?

Fixed the exhaust leak, but it will soon get a more permanent fix. But this is the quietest the car has been since I bought it, I can't even really hear an exhaust leak anymore over the engine, so everything seems to be well sorted.

Also spun the strut top-hat around on the passenger side, now both sides sit level.

Oil change done and winter tires installed!

What did I do to (or for) my Festiva today?

Found a brand new door ding just above my left rear wheel well. So much for my flawless $2000 paint job.

:gritteeth: :nightmare: :gritteeth: :nightmare: :gritteeth: :nightmare:

I've got a pix of my Festiva taken about 10 days ago. No door ding. Today, door ding. Right down to the friggin' bare metal. No note. No phone number. No nothing. And what are the odds that some idiot smacks their door hard enough to destroy the other car's paint layer right down to the bare metal and not know what they just did? About zero....

I hate, h-a-t-e, HATE inconsiderate people!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's why my daily-driver auto is such a beater. Come out of Big Lots and the guy in the Mustang 'accidentally' parks to where I have to enter via passenger door, because my driver's door has a single foot to open?

Whoops. I just added a small ding to my door.. and it's got a little Mustang green on it, too!
