  • Canyon Road

    So i took a hr trip north to go see one of our buddys on the forum and help him with a aspire swap, its about an hr trip through a very twisty canyon road. I videoed it but forgot to charge the battery and it died like 8 min into it, and the quality isn't that great, but would u guys want to see anyways?

      ill probably get yelled at by u guys for going to fast and its not a closed road, but i didn't take any risk around any corners that i couldn't see around and i have been going on this road since i was born so i know it will, and probably more of you will yell at me for "distroying" my car but i had fun so oh well, getting ready to throw in a bp anyways

        Spirited driving isnt the same as senseless driving. I'm more opt to yell at people who have a pitcher of beer and drive the speed limit home.

                      No he was just getting out of the way, actually the whole video was about 20 min long but my battery died 5 min in, usually when they pull off i wave but there happened to be a turn there when i passed him so i made sure to have both hands on the wheel

                      Oh and yes its a stock B3, but its carb'd so it has no rev limiter, so i was keeping it up around 6500 to 6800, its pretty impossible to take it up to 7000 though without the car getting pretty upset

                          man really? cause at about 7000 it sounds like the car is being choked, i think it detonates but i could be wrong. i just get scared mostly lol, i would love to have a rev happy b3 though, one that went to like 8000, even if it still only have 60 hp it just sounds great. Im gonna smog it this week, and then i think im gonna go ahead and put a 2 1/4 exhaust minus cat front to back and see if that doesn't help it breath a little better

                            no, you're starting to see signs of valve float (odd noise).

                            my carbed B6 will pull through 8k but it has heavier valve springs.

                            don't go any bigger than 2" on the exhaust, kills the torque down low and leans out the top end (not good)
                            Trees aren't kind to me...

                            currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
                            94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

                              really? dang that sucks, i have a brand new exhaust off a 2004 neon and its almost a perfect fit for a festiva, just needs a few modifications, but dang those exhaust on the neons are so nice. It looks like stanless steal and it deff has mandril bends. but its 2 1/4
