    ^^ Do these adjustables still exist? Are they for another car but we can use them, maybe with minor mods?

      Why don't you sell the molds to someone that would be interested in selling the body kits?

                KYB's are the closest to this type i have seen and i think they are available. but they are orange if you don't mind the colour, your sweet.

                  Mate, could you do me a solid and find out if he has any Festiva Twin Cam Engine Mount Kits left at all? pllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassssss eeeeeeeeeeee.

                  would mean a great deal to me.

                  i know i'll probably get some flaming for this, but this will be so completely suitable for my swap.

                  Thankyou.

                    Either that or does someone know the parts numbers for the kit?

                            When I was a newbie to this forum I too drooled over Roger's website listings of stuff. Problem was (even at that time), if and when you did get hold of him (telephone only), just about everything he had was on back order or out of stock. Patience wears thin after awhile and most people started looking elsewhere. I don't think there are enough of us to support a steady income for any one particular source of Festy parts.

                              ya they exist. they're in my basement. these are direct replacements for the festiva that FMS used to sell for about $800-900. GAB also made adjustable dmpers as an option for the GTX/GTA in the Japanese market. my sarcasm was to point out that FMS had some good festiva specific stuff for sale. i'm not an FMS fan boy. I just never had a real problem with him. but judging by the venom I've seen directed his way, some of you have. what I won't agree with though is that he sold commonly available parts at an unfair mark up. he went to JAPAN for gods sake to make some of his contacts.
                              as for the molds. a lack of space, and a real lack of fiberglassin knowledge keeps me from doing anything with them right now. i'm not holding them hostage. i don't even know exactly why i bought them except roger was a persuasive salesman and i didn't want to see them just disappear. if the price is right, they're for sale. i'm actually surprised that there is a demand because i thought junspeed/Ernst have a superior product. i guess the shipping is a killer though.
