      Yup i don't care much for automatics in a festiva

      1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
      1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
      2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

      1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        Thats the one thing I don't like about my festy, revs too damn high. Whats it sit at when you're doing about 75? I've always been curious.

                  I feel like Im abusing my autos when I drive on the highway so I usually dont drive them unless its local. Gas mileage is about 8-10 mile per gal less too. Wouldnt take a road trip in one.

                    I find even my 5spd revs high on the hwy. I can't imagine taking a slush box on the hwy.

                        When you're doing over 85MPH you should be that high on the rev's, its not exactly a vette or mustang, lol.

                          dean, no worries, swapped out the hubs right after I got home from your place. Though I now have the aspire rears on, so its all good

                              I took my B6 ATX to Canada a couple years ago. Got about 37 mpg, so it's not that bad.
