Bp swap road race festiva build.

[chiquito1228]

New for 2026 season. Let's try aero. Am always wanting to learn new things what a better project to do it on. This just a mock-up. I will be using a 1/2 birch plywood for the splitter and 1/8" abs for the spats. I would also be building a functional wing in the upcoming weeks.

I quick idle and a few revs. It sounds so much better

Hew header design hopefully it will keep the same mid and help the top end. Also new taller 5th gear.(Special event for next season)

Screenshot_20251019-201800.jpg With the season over and in the hunt for always making more power. Time to try another header setup. This time focus svt header. I will also be adding a megaphone. Hopefully the correct pairing on this tri-y 1-4 & 2-3 instead my current setup of 1-3 & 2-4 would help my top end a bit more Screenshot_20251019-201752.jpg

Made my first run at the Waumandee Hill Climb this past weekend. The 2.3-mile course is fast, technical, and a ton of fun — way more challenging than I expected. My little Festiva held up great 658 mile round trip and got plenty of attention. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Just got back from running at the Milwaukee Mile, and I’ve got to say it was a cool experience. This was my first time on the track, so I kept it a little conservative while I learned the layout and figured out what the car liked there. Even so, the Festiva held up great and I managed to take 1st in my class!

Here’s a video from one of my runs:

Overall, it was a fun event, and I’m looking forward to pushing harder next time now that I have a feel for the place.

Now I’m getting the car ready for the Waumandee Time Trials at the end of September.

I need to read this thread through! Looks like a cool build.

Not much of any change other than using a 200tw tire and adding a oil cooler. Had the chance to do autocross at road America go kart track. Pretty cool layout and track. Something different to experience. Also had a hard time adjusting to the new tires.

Am just using an automatic Festiva radiator with a spark fan and custom shroud

So I have the civic radiator, its massive (much thicker than the stocker) I prob should have ordered a thinner one but ill make it work. Had a buddy tig an elbow on the lower now I need to find some 1.25 to 1.5 radiator hoses.
