What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[rollertoaster]

I finished up my coilovers before the "hurricane" came through, just in case my barn flooded I wanted to get the festy out of there. I also installed my 3000k hid driving lights in my solid grill.





It sits a lot lower with the coils. It's was like a monster truck with the rio springs.

^^ Passenger spindle nut is reverse threaded

I've heard, instead of getting a new spindle nut people take a castle nut and drill a small hole through the spindle and put a cotter pin on. I forget the size of the nut but someone will chime in I assume

My bad, it was the driver side rear that I had to replace, was a 16x1.5 thread, and the nut ended up being a 24mm, which is bigger than the stock nut but it still worked. The cotter pin still went in, but the aluminum piece didn't fit back on top, the nut was snug fitting so I don't think there will be an issue.

I started mocking up the CAI housing with the "election sign" material, got it more than half done, but it still needs a lid and I need to buy the 2 1/2" flexpipe for it. Not going to be pretty, but I think it will be functional, like a snorkel kit for a jeep but air will be forced up into it from the gap in my bumper. I think I'm going to need some type of drain for any moisture that might get sucked up tho.

Ordered the gauges I want, I've heard some good and bad reviews, so we'll see how it turns out.

Also on a side note unrelated to festy topics, I FINALLY got the title to the Mazda 626 I've been restoring for the last 2 months, hopefully next week I can get it back on the road!

Along with the talented Driver 1, we at AreaFesty1 worked on a set of custom door panels.

Installed new shocks and struts this morning. Had one of those "well that was stupid" moments though. :tard: Somehow I managed to strip the threads on the top of one of the new rear shocks so had to go and buy a single one to replace it. While I had the interior panels off in the back I installed some "B-Quiet" sound deadening that I've had waiting on a shelf in the garage for quite a while.

New tires going on these wheels in the morning. Decided to go with the Federal SS-595 in a 185-60-13. They had some fairly reasonable reviews and have a treadwear rating of 460AA so hopefully they'll last for at least three summers.
