Deleted IAC, moved VAF pigtail to driver's side, fixed my lower rad hose with an EMT bend, and ordered intake pieces. Only thing left is exhaust and battery relocation, and Blue will finally live again.
Got to feel the clutch for the first time. I'm surprised how light a SPEC stage 2 is. Honestly, it's nearly as feathery as stock. Blew my mind a little.
Can't wait to drive a Festiva again. Been way too long.
Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

Not today, but yesterday gave Blanca a ride home on a rollback. My daughter backed over a tree stump that was low enough to miss the bumper and gas tank, but not the beam. She couldn't have hit it more dead center. Bent it about an inch and really adjusted the "toe out" on the rear wheels. Hopefully the beam I salvaged from my JY car will fix it.

These E series clutches are scary light. I put a brand new sachs clutch in Pedro and I push the pedal, confused as to if I forgot something. Lol. I probably should have gotten a spec, but I've had really bad luck with their clutches on other cars, so I'm a bit jaded. They seem to have the Festiva clutch nailed down pretty good, but can't make a BMW clutch to save their lives. Interesting business strategy.

Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.Comment

I replaced the valve cover gasket. It was drooling oil all down the front of the engine and it got into the spark plug ports. I had to pull the plugs and clean them all to get it to start. She's all clean and happy now.Comment

That's the best black grill setup I've seen IMO. Because it ties into the hood and lights instead of just being a black grill.Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

Nothing unfortunately. Mother has just been using it to drive to work. lol
Thinking of using my free 4 wheel alignment thing from Tirediscounters that I got for buying a tire for the Monte, on the Festiva instead after I fix the passenger side tie-rod. Because i am eventually going to need 2 new front tires on the Monte, and they will just give me another free alignment when I do buy those tires.
They couldn't do it on the Monte because they said one of the tie-rods were bad and needed changed first, and just gave me a voucher, and nothing on the voucher ties it to the Monte Carlo.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)
