  • Aspire motor and Rack, will it fit my 92 festiva.

    Found one in junk yard, nice just don't know what will work

    Aspire engines work when you swap all the Festiva pulleys, accessories and disty onto them.

    IIRC, several folks claim that the Aspire manual rack will bolt onto the Festiva. You might have to use Festiva inner tie rods and ends though. Double check that before doing!

    Hopefully someone will confirm the Aspire rack fit.

      The aspire rack does fit and work fine . As Karl said you have to change inner and outer tyrods ends to festy ones .. the aspire rod ends are longer and outer rods are bigger .
      New build on the way .

        So I guess the Aspire PS rack would bolt up as well? I love the closer ratio steering on my de-powered power rack on the Miata. Might grab me a power rack from one of the aspires next time I'm in the yard
        No festiva for me ATM...
