  • My Festiva build thread

    yes. a festiva.

    Bought a 90 Festy for 350$ and promptly cut some coils when it got home. It started as 4 in the back, 4 in the front:





    but it sat a little ass heavy so we chopped another 3/4 of a coil out of the front, only to learn it's too short to meet the top of the strut now, so it's now 100% removed. still riding on 4 coils in the rear (orig 8) and bumpstops up front. almost tucks the 12's

    here's how it sits now:



    also sanded my hood down and riveted on a carbon scoop i got from a SpeedGT car





    had the thing for less than 4 days and this is how she looks.

    plans include:
    flat blacking the whole car
    14" or 15" steelies (whichever fits best)
    88 grill w/ mod
    and eventually a BP motor swap

      just kind of a rat look.

      flat black, gloss red steelies, whatever tires i can get to fit (i don't care about stretch that much).

      interior will get random odds and ends to make it more DD-able (cupholders, radio, etc)

                    This looks like a shockingly amazing build thread in the works. Even though its just a ratty build looks like it will be a ton of fun.

                            Wow, it looks like fun!
                            I've never heard about that car before!

                            Good luck, and rock some white walls!

                              not too much happening. she's currently getting ready for paint.

                              but i did find a parts car with the big brakes and 4x100 hubs on it so i'm gonna pick that up and slap these wheels on. had em laying around forever, and they finally have a home. prolly gonna run 195/50/15's and spacers if necessary.



                              they are Ray's/Mazdaspeed MS-03's. Haven't been made since the early 90's.
