[NicholasJackson]

keep the trans! good to have a spare and the "aspire" trans is geared for better acceleration.

Hey mate yeah i live in mermaid beach, my project is a bit all over the place at the moment still living in brisbane at the moment for uni so i havent touched my festiva for a good couple of months. Ill be crazy busy when i get this second gen festiva. We should have a mini meet when we get our festiva's ready. Theres a bloke who lives down in cooly on this forum.

And FestYboy I already have two g series' one f series and a e series hahah i dont need anymore. Plus if i sell it i can make up for what i spend buying the car.

yeah should have a mini meet.we can probably meet up with the aspire guys (i think theres a couple from around here) and have a mini cruise.

[Brayy]

mini meet for sure. obtaining my licence and a job so my build can start.

[NicholasJackson]

That would be sick! I really want a rolling chassis in the next couple of weeks.

[Brayy]

the aspire rolling or your festy ? and i measured up an engine 2 weeks ago and i think it might fit.. its the ecotec out of a holden.. there only 160 by 160 and it would fit snug if i relocate the radiator ^_^

[NicholasJackson]

Rolling festy. Ecotech hey. What model? Have you thought about wiring OBD system? Eco tech that's an expensive engine. Im a bit skeptical, hope you can prove me wrong!

[Brayy]

yeah i think the engine will fit but i dont know where the gear box is going to go.. i need to jack a vx commodore up and measure absolutely everything.. if it fits i got me a stock 200hp v6 festy ^__^ if not then ima head up your way and see your swap before i do anything.

From what i have measured the closest part of the white plastic top case will be level with my radiator.. giving about 80 mm for the new radiator.. but i can drag that forward anyways.. the next problem is the airbox.. takes up more room than the engine itself.. from these pictures and measuring up it looks like it could fit..

mate that would be a bloody weapon on the road.lining up against other cars were the driver wouldnt even look at you twice only to see you leave them for dead.the look on there face at the next set of lights would be priceless!sux shit just got chopped by a festy......
