hey guys! I remembes someone listing a simple list of 13 and 14 inch wheels that fit the festiva recently, I went back combing the past posts, but couldn't...
I don't know about the of-set or centewr hole size, but Hyundai, Mazda 323, Nissan Sentra and the old Mercury Tracer (pre 1990) would fit the bolt patern of a...
Thanks guys for the effort. As always this group is full of helpful people that do not easily take offense. I am also going to change up the exhaust oncxe I...
Last night temps dropped to the mid-20"s here in the Cinti. area. On my drive home from work,I kept waiting for the temp gauge to move off of dead cold, but it...
(This is NOT my ad nor is it my Festiva, just wanted to share) Check out this posting on Craig's list before it expires. The pictures look good but it doesn't...
I've seen this festy on CL before, I think it's an auto trans (too bad) doesn't seem like a bad price really, it was advertized in LA as well. Brenton ...
Randy- Ever notice those decorative inserts in the grills of 18 wheelers or full-size pick-up's? This is a fancy way of dealing with this very common problem. ...
Hi ya'll, I was wondering if any of the festys came with cruise? I often go on LONG drives (like 2000 miles!) and giving that right foot a rest would be nice....
That's only a grand more than I paid for my 94 Aspire with 131k! Albeit with a newer engine and clean inside and out,but, does not compare with that car....
I don't think that cruise was an option on Festy's. You may be able to install an aftermarket cruise set-up to address your needs. Try J.C. Whitney, I am...
I guess this means that Festy's have a heater design or cooling system problem? I was thinking that the temp gauge should run a little hotter than 1/8-1/4...
There is a big stink over this car. It was bought on ebay, then wrecked before delivered.. The owner had it fixed. And is now trying to sell it again. Of...
Make sure the fan isn't running all the time because the fan tempertaure on/off switch is bad. I live in Illinois and for the last two months have had all but...
As a former Saab owner and dealer (1966- 1975) the following post reminded me of Saabs radiator limiting system. The early three cylinder 2-stroke cars had...
Hello, I recently purchased a 1993 festiva L for $500 with only 43,500 miles. I am extremely pleased with the automobile, but there is a slight jerk while...
Yep, blocking the radiator works....but The only effect windchill has on inanimate objects, such as car radiators and water pipes, is to shorten the amount of...
This guy appears to be some sort of back yard car dealer. His photobucket is all cars: http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o96/lowmilecars2008/ But if it were...
Actually I have a piece of plastic that extends completely across the grill (behind it) this keeps the air from getting into the engine compartment and helps...
We will all be just guessing, but I would look for broken engine mounts, loose bolts, or drive axles etc before jumping to the conclusion of a bad clutch. ...
Paul, I guess I am trying to understand the origin of the heater problem on the Festy. The function of the thermostat is to restrict coolant flow through the...
Do you notice any pull of the steering wheel while driving under light load? If so does the pull go away under partial or full throttle? If you said yes to any...
Paul, I usually just stuff some "whatever" into those upper ports, a simple solution that seens to at least keep the cold outside air from blowing on your...
After looking at his inventory of old police cars and hearing the story of the previous history of this Festy, I would be real leary of anything this "Honest...
Yeah Randy.. I don't see my post from a few hours ago, but here is the link to it wrecked.. http://www.carolinadatasolutions.com/chico/festiva1.JPG DJ ...
PauI- It's fairly easy. It's located under the dash, in the upper right corner, above the passenger's knee's. A big black air hose(+5 inch dia.) is connected...
Randy- There is no by-pass, with the exception of the thermostat, which as you know is built to open only at a preset temp. What you've got to remember is this...
