Hi From NTRCOOL

[NTRCOOL]

Hello Forum. My name is Matt I was bitten by the festiva bug thanks to my buddy George aka BigBlockCadillac. I just bought a 93 GL 5speed Red with a Grey interior. Body is a little better than ok. under side is solidish, has a wing and white alloy rims that seem to be in good condition. I bought it for $300 because the previous owner thought the trans was out. It was making a hell of a squeal when you engaged the clutch. My neighbor dropped in a new clutch for me and said it still made the noise, but the case was almost empty. So I drained what little fluid was in it put some new 80-90W lower end unit gear lube I got from my previous job and in the first mile it was quiet. So score for me.

I hope to obtain useful info from the site and have fun with my new ride.

Well the spoiler alone almost pays for the whole car!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the nice score.

Welcome to the site! Pretty nice lookin car there. I think the trans is supposed to have atf in it tho. I know its lighter than 80-90.

[NTRCOOL]

I'll have to look up exact specs for fluid but for off the bat can't complain on free stuff. I hope to rebuild the front end here in the next week or so the tie-rods are getting overly questionable. Then ill look at upgrading the suspension.

Nice sport model you got there! I bet you have a red striped interior too! Nice!!!

[NTRCOOL]

Thanks I'll get more pics when I get it cleaned up. I pulled the passenger fender out so the door operates properly. the Interior needs a good deep clean. I know its just a Daily driver but might as well as make it as nice as possible.

Plus I thought I'd add that I am part of the following forums: TGPForums, W-body community, GMForum, Powerstorkeforum (for my dads F-250), ModifiedPowerwheelsforum. Also my Game tag for PS3 and Xbox360 is also NTRCOOL.

Awesome screen name. How many license plates you got that say that IRL? I imagine that you're not going to have that car stock for long. I'll be looking for your build thread. By the way, welcome!

[NTRCOOL]

I only have one plate with my screen name, it on my 89 Turbo Grand Prix. Plus I can't wait to start wrenching on his thing. It already is peppy.

My right rear wheel fell off last night almost made me pool. Good thing I was only a few blocks from my moms place. I just limped to her place. As far as bigblock n I figured axle nut came loose or the wheelbering failed. Either way gotta get it back together.
