  • Festiva abuse

    I am a little ashamed of beating up on it, but not really, left the narrowest patch of rubber I'v seen..

      lol...I didn't want to be the first to ask that. I think the smoke at first was from the car....the tires only spun on take off.
      Spinning the tires is no biggy but why the revving like you did?

        My heart goes out to that poor Aqua Festy - OH THE HUMANITY!

        Was that a neutral drop or a clutch pop?

                    watch the vid.....it is him just revving the crap out of the car at first...you would not be able to keep goosing the gas if you were spinning the tire on the Festy....and then he lets off the gas and then revs and pops the clutch....thats when the wheel finally spins.

                        I knew I was gonna get flamed for that, but oh well. That motor is rocked out, as in tore up! Smokes like a pack a day habit. I burn thru a quart of w40 a week. No joke. I was coming home from work, nad my friend was taking pics of his Civic, I pulled up next to him to smoke him out. What are friends for anyway? I smoked the motor a bit then he gave me the cue to spin em (the motor is shot the trans is missing reverse, I didn't beat on it till after the damage was done) so I dropped 1st and a lit a one tire fire. I thought it was a blast. Hate me if you will, but it was fun!!

                              No flame intended... I just wouldn't do that a lot if you need that engine and transmission combo to last any longer than it has until you started doing that - Thats coming from past experience(s)

                              Which leads me to ask what the mileage of it is?
