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

I'll have pics in an hour. I hope to go to the junkyard today to get some parts. I want a cluster with a tach, and a center console too. I think the car was lady owned for the majority of its life and then someone put like $1500 into is 2 years ago. The guy I got it from paid $1500 last September for it.

Theres my baby!

Car looks good! Any plans yet??

[av8ter]

B6 or B6T,new windshield, aspire suspension/brakes, 14'' wheels, custom exhaust, tilt steering wheel, new steering wheel, already has great tint, new radio with a 12'' sub, a 9'' screen in dash(not a radio, just a display for dvd/video ipod), and repaint it that metallic blue color.

So in other words, the works.

[av8ter]

Oh, and shaved locks, and an alarm system so the kids at school don't tip her over. Power mirrors, power locks, and power windows if I am motivated enough.

My dad still needs to insure the car. Driving the car in the cul-de-sac is getting real old.

Is it normal for the shift bushings to be loose? My shiter moves 4'' left and right while in gear.

Find a Festiva/Aspire that still shifts tightly, take the bushings out of its shifter linkage, and put them on your car. Problem solved.

[av8ter]

Cool.

Would a B6t keep the sloppy shifting with the g25mr tranny?

Not unless the bushings are bad. Replacement is like a 10 minute job.

[av8ter]

Sweet!

Score! Good job man. Good luck with the planned mods. My latest festiva has bad shifter bushings. That's one thing I need to fix.

[av8ter]

I was contemplating just making my own out of washers but it would be too stiff most likely.

I would love to do the whole Festiva Motorsports body kit but it is too much money. I will end up just buying a spoiler from them or getting one from the junkyard.

I was fooling around today with the rear seat and I had it out in like 5 minutes. It's pretty cool how it unbolts so fast.

Went to get it emission tested today.....................................and it FAILED!!!!! It failed the 25mph test. I bought this stuff that should help me pass. I am not too bummed though. The guy gave me a slip to allow me to drive around for the next 30 days unregistered.

The car is now insured. It is $380 a year for myself as the primary(16 year old). What do you guys pay?

I started waxing the car today and it is turning out very well. Its funny how the paint comes off though.

Can I peel of the door molding? Is there holes? Is the residue easily waxed off?

Had the exact same problem. I pulled the O2 sensor off another engine, installed it, and the car passed with flying colors.


The molding is glued on - I used a paint scraper to pry it off.

[av8ter]

Carbed?
