First test drive out on the highway went good.

She drove good, trans shifts properly and shifts smoothly Thanks again for that trans Marcus!! Here's some pics after its first hwy drive.. got dusty going down our gravel road.

^^ as you can see the front is lower than the back right now.. I lowered the front a tad more, just need to do the same to the back now (already got the springs cut, just need to swap them on)

You're welcome ! I dont know of anyone who would enjoy an auto as much as you. Glad it worked out for you.

Worked out great Next thing I want to do is rebuild my spare B3 when funds allow me to and turbo it!

New stance

Put different springs on the back again, my set-up is stock festiva springs cut 2 1/4 coils in the front, and 2 in the back. Looks nice IMO.

I think that's a much better fit and the ride quality is probably noticeably better

Looks amazing Fred. Glad you actually got to drive it down the road too!!

Fred, your car is awesome! Great work, and kudos to WES as well.

As for "Muttstiva" as a name, well, look at my sig line. Hmmm....

Since my Mutt ain't running now, it's up to you to decide. Won't bother me or Muttstiva.

Thanks! Not sure what to name it yet but that would fit the car good. The car has parts from the following cars in it:
-90' L plus donated the engine, wiring harnesses, shifter, crossmember, interior.
-Auto trans is from Freshtiva's (Marcus's) B6 car
-Aspire brake swap and Honda VX wheels are from festivaWES's old black festy

probably forgot a few things in that list..

looks great fred, love the over all look. i love the rims, is it swapped?

Thanks, brake swapped yes (if it wasn't I couldn't run the VX wheels..), engine swapped no, but it does have an aspire head on it with 79k or 80k on it, and the aspire intake mod, the B3 thats in it has 147k on it. I want to rebuild my spare B3 sometime and turbo it.
