The owner is sending me a video tonight of under the car and the car running i'll post it as soon as i get it.

I was also kind of thinking it was swapped, because the car is a '91 and I didn't think they were still doing carbed motors after 89...the first Festy to get an EFI was even an auto...so it just didn't make much since that a post-89 auto would have a carb...but maybe that's just some Canadian thing I'm not aware of... or a Festiva thing in general I'm not aware of as I haven't been a Festy owner very long.

From the photos I didn't think it looked like a carby. But somewhere a long the lines I was under the impression it was...I guess I'm just all sorts of confused!

It's so important to get the transmission you want... i think you would be happier with a manual that has 200K + on it. These cars last forever, so the amount of kilometers it's done isn't all that important.Last edited by Fester's Quest; 01-08-2013, 12:39 AM.

Yeah but my girlfriend wants to drive it to and she can't drive stick.... If I was emperor of the world everyone would have to take their drivers test in a standard car = probably less accidents (definitely less distracted fender benders) and generally keeping people off the road who shouldn't be driving. Anyways I think this is going to end up being my gfs car which I will help maintain just for fun and i'll be on the hunt for my own 5 speed still.
