there is a nice festy up the street from me , been looking at it for awhile. it looked like a 89 LX 5 speed, brown interior with split folding rear seats and even still has its hatch cover!!!
but today i finally got the key to it and the first thing i saw was the production date: 5/87
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
THIS MEANS IT IS A 5 SPEED CARB'D!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
i hate F*#@$%^&$#&%$#@$%^*&#^$%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CARBS WITH A PASSION!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE AS OLD AS THE DINOSAURS AND NASCAR (WHICHEVER CAME FIRST?)
ok, so i have 2 complete fuel injected motors, 2 wiring harnesses, 2 computers and everything else i need to make it a real festiva. just don't have the time at this moment.
but , i do have a friend that will sell me a brand new carb , still in the box and brand new distributor assembly, if i wanted to go that route instead.
the kid wants $500 for it , i should be able to get it for $350 to $400 tops, it has 149,000 on the clock, couldn't get it to start, i was late for work.
just not sure what to do, forget it? buy it and convert it? or just give a major overhaul and keep it as a commuter car or sell it ?????
