  • I'm new to this. Festiva trippin

    I have a 89' Festiva L (4spd manual) recently did a full tune up. New Wheels, brakes, fluids topped, fuel filter, water pump, KYB struts, and alignment. I'm in California and I'll be on my first road trip to Utah in a couple of weeks. The car has not given me any problems what so ever and it's riding on 66,000 original miles. It rides very smooth. Is there anything I should check before making my trip? Anything I should replace? Anything I can include or add to my car?

    Thanks

    make sure your spare tire is good because if you have the stock 12'' tires there almost impossible to find if you get a flat (at least where i live) and is it carb or efi

          If you have to be there for an appointment you might want to give yourself extra time in case you need to stop for a repair. Parts are avialable but not always in stock so there may be a delay. Older cars are cheap but do need more in the way of repairs. Also if you've had work done at a national chain take the invoice with you in case it needs to be redone. Happened to me once so I now carry the maintenace file in the car. Have a nice trip.
