My first encounter with................New vid posted!

[htchbck]

prices are awesome there! The most expensive thing is a complete V8 engine for $128 ... and they go down from there. Very very reasonable and since you pull it yourself you know exactly what you are getting every time. I love it! i drive my silver car down there all the time unless i'm picking up BIG parts lol. Give me a call if you decide to go today, its a little cold but I think its done raining for a while. They close at 5:30 though so keep that in mind... and last I checked they had several integras too, and as far as getting in, I take my 14 year old brother with me all the time, and they've never tried to card anyone that I've seen. Give me a call though, my plan is to get down there around 3:30 or 4:00 and stay till they close, I want to get to that new festiva before it gets too picked over in case it has any factory goodies, plus I need a muffler as well. My cell is 706-973-9441 if ya want to try and meet up with me while I'm down there.

I just got back from the yard. They had 2 Festivas that I saw, both Auto. The green one there has some good glass and also good interior. I did not get anything because the had no newer Integras. Good luck.

I actually didn't make it down there today. I'm assuming one of them was the silver auto on row one that I've already robbed some parts from, did you notice if the other one had a tachometer or not. I wound up spending the afternoon in our van dragging my buddy's ranger out of a ditch... no damage to the truck though, it was just stuck in the mud... 4 cylinder RWD pickup, lol... used the 4.3 Vortec astro van to get him out

I know it has a cluster but i am not sure if it has a tach. Let me know net time you are going, I might be able to meet you there. I could not find the Festiva on row 117(because I could not find row 117).

Let me know next time you go.

^^^ probably whatever day I don't work this week or I may have to wait till saturday. I'll keep you posted

Dude just so you know, you don't need to double clutch... F and the F says it doesn't mean you need to do it. The Festiva does NOT and I repeat does NOT have a clutch you need or should double clutch. Only if you have a 3000+$ clutch that engagement needs a double clutch effort do you need to do that. -Kyle

P.S. F and the F has ruined today's youth before they even got started!

[av8ter]

I never said I felt like double clutch was needed for daily driving but is a skill I learned on the off chance that I may be driving a special vehicle. I idolize nothing from the fast and the furious. The concept of a lame ass front wheel drive eclipse doing a 8 second 1/4 mile never made sense to me and probably never will. You just sounded a little harsh in your post.

Kevin, please dont take the way he sounded serious, it has been some hard days lately and i think everyone is stressed and down in the dumps due to DJ's passing to the great festy field in the sky,

and im not trying to be a prick but i sense alot of tension on here lately which is understandable.

[av8ter]

The one thing about forums is that you can never tell someone's emotions through their posts. I never wanted to seem like a prick.

Was looking on craigslist today expecting to find nothing when I came across this 89 Festy w/32,000 miles. This might be the one. Price seems a little high though?

Did the 89s have manual seat belts? 5spd? EFI? Tachometer? Anything special about this year?

What do you think htchbck?

[25Horseplay]

Yes to manual seat belts, 5 spd in LX models, EFI in auto trannys, Tach in LX models.

[25Horseplay]

Here is a link to options for that model. http://www.fordfestiva.com/options1.html

I dont see a passenger side mirror so its probably an L model. 4spd, carbed, exct.

[htchbck]

What do you think htchbck?

looks like a base model since it only have the driver side mirror... but other than that, I'd say you'd better snap that up before I start working full time for the summer and I can afford it for myself ... the factory black color alone makes it a pretty rare find. And a beautiful color if you ask me. If you're not doing anything saturday I'll come down to marietta and we'll head up to canton to check it out, I've been itching to take the silver for a good little road trip since I finished the swap anyway
