So after the second crash I decided to get another festiva! This is it almost finish. little more body work, and fix the blowing main fusible link problem and altenator not charging problem haha. It was auto, had a b3 in it, swap it out with my bp from my other car that i crashed. Now it has the g25mr trans.

Thanks man. Do you still have the stock Festiva suspension or are you running coilovers?

[bondo]

Dang that's low!
I have a stock height aspire with lots of clearance underneath the primaries before the collector .
And I still managed to hit something with them doh!
If my header was 1in off the ground. It would be scrap metal by now.

Yeah eventually! Im really into trying to get the turbo in tho haha. almost got everything just cant decide on the turbo manifold I should go with, either bp26 manifold with t3 flange and external wastegate flange(what I have now). or go with the Custom JGS fab kit(http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/index2.html). And thanks for the advice on the rims and tires! I love um!
