  • JY scores!

    Went to the Raceway JY over in IL today, looking for an Aspire downpipe for Danny. Someone had cut off the cat connector and welded a straight pipe in place of the cat, which I need to correct to pass safety (visual emissions check requires a cat be there).

    So, for $45 I got:
    the downpipe ($33 - $108 at Rock Auto)
    lower half of an Aspire speedo cable ($16 - $19 at Rock Auto)
    a 12" Festiva steelie with very good tire, for a spare spare (JY charges $16 for 12 or 13 inch tire/wheel)
    a Festiva tow hitch! The kind that bolts to the two tiedown hooks. Square tubing, well-made.

    So not counting the tire and rim, I paid $29 for all the rest!

        Grab 'em all, you will find plenty of buyers! Try to get the trailer wiring too.

                I'm down for a hitch! Let me know what you'd want to get it shipped when you figure out if you want to pull them!

                The easiest way would be to cut the bolt heads or nuts off with a torch or grinder and pop the old bolts out with a hammer/screwdriver. If your state has decent rust free cars the you could get them off with the right size 1/2" socket and breaker bar/ratchet.

                      Blacklabels, if they look like junk, please take pictures. If it's the U-Haul hitch, I want it regardless.

                          Lucky... all the jy's around here just automatically crush the festivas and keep aspires for only a few weeks. I had to ask one to save any festivas they come by but by the time I did they never have gotten any since.

                            Ya sad thing about all the festivas there all L's and only one of them was a LX. Last time i was there they had a pretty much rust free 1992 L with 68k miles and on top of the car mark good engine and trans... Really clean inside car aswell.
