          I had done a center exit exhaust, which made it louder. I cut it back down. I guess it's part of getting old...

          Also put new "Festiva" mud flaps on.

          • My led lights arrived today and I put one in Trixie's dome light and cargo light.
            Also put one in Nellie's cargo light. Much brighter light now.
            Tomorrow I'm going to replace the standard light with leds in Bessie too.

            • Played Musical Chairs

              Moved the Festi Ice Racer from its storage spot

              shuffled the road race RX7 out of the place of honour

              and set the Festi up at the centre of attention to start race preparations for the winter season
              Thricetiva replaced Icetiva as the new ride

                  • Rods popped off my door handles when trying to open the door in these near single digit temperatures. These cars are just the worst when it comes to this, because I had it happen last year as well. Now until I can pop the door panel off to fix it, I have to hop in through the passenger door.

                    • Replaced the messed up, nearly unreadable faceplate of the Climate Control Unit with a good one.
                      If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

                        I had both doors do that to me. Luckliy the hatch still worked but sucked having to crawl though the hatch. I promptly fixed both doors soon thereafter

                          Door works again. I thought the rods popped off, but the lock and handle stuff was so frozen, it acted like it was broken. Now I have to leave my doors unlocked or else this will happen again. lol

                          • Lets see, today I got my first Festiva, replaced valve cover gasket, taking the head off to drain crappy oil out, taking off holy exhaust pipes, removing back seats for a speaker set up. And cleaning it up!

                            • Don't forget to clean out all of the crud under the valve cover oil baffle. Otherwise your PCV valve may not be able to function efficiently.
