Festiva GT-X project (Updated 8/05/07)

[Festiva GTX]

I just installed new fluorescent ceiling boards and total watt is 240 really so bright like daylight!


^ That was only one 60 Watt bulb on wall...


^ Not best picture in low light.


^ Added 18feet length of fluorescent


^ Very bright idea lighting isnt?


^ What you think of that picture with strong light?

So now I could start work on my project Festiva GT-X daytime or night time


Here a begin pictures work on project on my Festiva GTX.



Putting GTX bumper on it and come with fog lights really cool!

I was thinking maybe I want put blue color fog light glass and blue color headlight bulb...

the lights look great. definitely worth it. i know we only have 2 60w overhead bulbs in our garage and its BRUTAL! My uncle put 6 of those big lights that they have in arenas and school gyms that have to warm up in his new shop.. now THAT lights things up! mind ya tho were talking about a farm shop that is the size of a school gym.

That light makes a huge difference!

Can't wait until you get the BJ swap all done!

Here updated of my Festiva GT-X finally got back to life!

Very interesting when I take a driving with BJ engine and Japan 5 spd manual transaxle... The Japan transaxle seem not same of gearing ratio compare with stock one in here. but hell fast and feel like 1.6L engine under of my hood but actually just mighty BJ engine 1.3L!
Seem my stock fuel pump can't handle if I try over 6,500 RPM so I may need upgrade high flow gas pumping! The HEAT warning just come on when I stay too long over 6,000RPM it meaning I am cooking the catalytic converter !

I upgraded the aspire brake booster with Mercury Tracer fluid tank (more square looking.) Very strong stopping than stock one!

The headlights really gives off more yellowish color and it get some more attention people looking at my car :roll:
