[Sleeper]

Well let's see
*Buy Fred's B6T festiva minus the engine.....( see you saturday fred!)
*Trailer it home..... fit and drill out mounts and install my bone stock B6T with ACT clutch and Reich Racing race spec ecu.
*Certify and E-test
*See all of you at the meet in july!
*Take to drag stip and show'em what a festy can do
*Kill at least 1 "Ricer" on the street
*Kill at least one "muscle car" on the street

That's the HAVE-TO'S

Here's the LIKE TO'S

*Install cold air intake set-up
*Upgrade turbo
*Install larger injectors.... 2.2L probe turbo???
*Install my mustang throttle body......no joke I bought a B6T with one fabbed on......it's huge compared to stock!!!!
*Repaint valve cover on B6T
*Remove cat
*Pull at least a 13.3 in the quater mile!

How about a picture of that tb installed. And it will be great to see you at the meet in July!

[Sleeper]

Well I feel really stupid for saying this...but I have not had the internet in years and i'm not really a PC freak.....but I just got the net and in a little time I will figure out how to post pictures.....give it time!

But if worst comes to worst i'll bring a photo to the meet in july......I'm thinking of making a kit for everyone......it requires a custom flange and moding the mustage TB and installing a custom spring....but I won't be doing this untill I get the B6T on the road......Prioritys first!!!

i dont even bother with lists, it all rolls around in my head all the time anyway. havent done anything on my list to the aqua car. hopefully i can get going on that. my 93 sits and pouts now.

monday, im renting a small uhaul to get me up to carroll, iowa from here. then ill drop that off there and drive back in the 88' 17k new red festiva.

Emergency brake cable fixed
WOW , first time to have a E- brake in 4 years ..

Polished strut bar installed

New rear spindle nuts ordered today .

The car did get a bath today and detailed .

[freshtiva]

E brake cable ??? And I was just making some progress

# 11 Fix E brake cables

[batstiva]

Well, let's see. Looking like by Mid-May I should have what I need, and the money to buy what I don't have for the V-6 swap into the Batstiva. Sure that's gonna end up taking most of the summer (nights and weekends....EDITED job!!) Hoping to have her done, engine-wise, by August at latest. She's gotta get back to OTR. Too many people miss her.

Then next, probably not until next year, she's getting chopped ala the drop-top. Tho, still debating whether I want to go full hard top convertible, ala the Festerossa.

There, that should hold me for awhile. Whew. 8) 8)

I fixed the cables the other day , where they were broken .
The e-brake still did not work :x :x

So Sunday I start to take it apart , all the adjusters are frozen up , from the e- brake not working in over 4 years .

I break one of the small springs on the adjuster :x :evil:

I buy a rear brake hardware kit last night , I take it all apart again (tonight)

I free up all the pivot points on the e- brake assy , Bust my finger nail off on my left thumb :x :evil: :twisted: :twisted:

I took forever to free them up , I almost gave up on it , 2- 15" channel lock pliers , to make them budge , and a hammer , and lots of PB Blaster.

Replaced all the springs and pins , both sides ,and lubed up all pivots and contact points , and replaced the spindle nuts too .

Now the rear brakes work like they should have , long time ago , and the e-brake will lock the tires now

I also upgraded to the new Sylvania Ultras (headlights), I had Silverstars in it .

Waxed it Sunday .

Monday the exhaust pipe broke , right in front of the muffler :roll:

So it gets some muffler work Wednesday :lol:

I also upgraded to the new Sylvania Ultras (headlights), I had Silverstars in it .

I am currently running Silverstars. How do the Ultras differ?

[packrat427]

Color is a little different and they are really brighter , the beam seems more intense . I researched them before I spent the extra , I wanted to make sure they were worth it :lol:
