Aspire's Salvage Potential

It depends on the festiva. Some are faster than others in my experience. Also, I drive a 92 integra with the b18 ls motor. I have a hard time believing he had to work hard to beat a STOCK festiva. I'll agree some are pretty quick though. Never driven an aspire, but I really don't like the way they look. They look like a kia to me lol.

"In a festiva?! dude the turtle on the side of the road was probably looking back telling you "that's right, slow and steady wins the race""
I think there is only one way to settle this, race!I don't see how Festivas are that slow? I've done some pretty crazy shtuff in my little carby 4 spd

The people complaining about a 40 mpg car would be festiva owners who can get 53. And I've driven both. A healthy 5 speed festiva is quick! I've outrun a 16 valve 1.6 five speed corolla. The 92 and a 96. Outrun a civic, 2.3 mustang 5 speed, etc. I ran an integra with the second best engine. It had to work hard to beat me.

I've never really driven a aspire so I'm not going to get up in that, but they are pretty ugly lookin and how many people see more festivas driving around in their town than aspires?
p.s. I had a buddy from high school that had an aspire and we raced them once, even with my slipping clutch I had him be at least a car length(which isn't much compared to a festiva/aspire lol).... but his 60-0 time was way better than mine lol

I googled "pink Aspire" and found this. It's actually kind of humorous:
As a Ford salesman during the Year Of Our Lord 1995, I had very few scruples and fewer dreams. I did, however, have a few personal goals. One of them was to sell as many pink cars as possible. I convinced a woman shopping without her husband to order a pink Windstar. I checked “Rose Mist” by default on every 1996 Taurus order form that passed through my hands, relying on the customer to see the “mistake” and correct it. I even convinced a color-blind man to o…
Just to make sure the record is straight, I do like Aspires and may someday own one to drive instead of "harvest."I would buy one of the pink ones, too!

Has anyone went head to head festiva v aspire? I would like to see the proof of this "slower" your are referring to sir. There's nothing wrong with a little junk in the trunk, and who's complaining about a 40 mpg car?!

Although the shape of the back of an aspire is amazing for loading/unloading engines with a cherry picker, I give them huge credit for that

Originally posted by rockin86ranger View Postproblem is i can't find any 88-89s, the only Festiva i have found looked like it had been hit in the back by a truck at about 45 mph and rolled about 5 times, it also had auto belts. And kia rios are non-existant too, we had some clips for the coils on a rio break and i looked through 6or7 yards and nobody kept rios.
Also age isn't a huge factor for me, the newest car i own is a 95 taurus with original seat belts and my 86 ranger has originals too.
As far as a discussion about second gen engineering, it's like playing call of duty on playstation, then playing COD2 on ps2....it's just not the same.. genetically superior in every imaginable way. Altho I will agree some 2nd's are just not as good, your second love? who was she anyway?...your second cigarette in the morning?...pirates of the carribean 1v2.... but, just like in the case of 1st gen airbags, and hangover1 v hangover 2, aspires are just genetically superior.

Passive... doesn't describe me or the festiva !!
I need to sew a seat belt on my shoulder before
I switch, no belt=ticket here. Need it to hang back
like the hair in those Trojan adds

Yeh, the holes are in the chassis for the manual belts. I plan on using harnesses in Steve.
