Just send me a bid to my email adress....i'll let you know Adam M ... From: TurboFource@... To: festiva@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2007...
I own two 1988 Ford Festivas. One I am going to start driving soon. It's a one-owner 4 speed with only 80,000 miles on it and runs very good. Is there a big...
Brad Where you located, I have to 88 Festivas here at my home with ac. If you want to come get all the ac system off, you can get it all 75.00 Dean parting out...
... [snip] The point I was making is that *wheel size* (what you mentioned in your previous post) has almost nothing to do with speedo error, acceleration ...
Burgess, You are right on the money. I am really surprised at how many people don't know this, or how to calculate diameters when plus sizing or how to...
Say what you may. Before you make a federal case out of a small question,I would advice you to try it first hand before computing your results based in theory....
My best guess is that by changing the tire diameter to a larger size you are in effect changine the gear ratio of the differential to a taller gear, (lower...
I have ran 12" rims with stock tires and also 13" rims with taller tires. My Festivas seem to like stock wheels and tires better. I would like to think Kia, ...
When we run larger diameter tires the speedometer and odometer will register differently. You may see a lower MPG but that is in part that the odometer runs...
... Go back and read my post again. Every statement I made is not only completely correct, but easily verifiable from any number of sources. Get right with...
... It is not terribly hard to do a 5spd swap if you have any experience working on FWD cars. The basic process is to disconnect the shift rail, disconnect...
Hmmm, I wonder how much difference all these ride variables would make if the the Festiva driver is a 500lb zaftig fellow, accompanied perhaps, with an equally...
Okay.I have read this reply to a very simple statement. I wont say I am impressed by all the hoopla, because I am not.Although I am sure someone is. Lets go...
Yes ,I am aware that you can not go by the odometer any longer. I was speaking ,that I drive the same exact mileage every day and noticed I would fill up more...
... (sigh) Thanks for reminding me why I so rarely post these days. I don't really care if you're impressed or not. The point was simply to indicate that I...
Well, I am about 60% of your hypothetical fellow and I can tell that I upset the chassis dynamics all by myself... Burgess (wish I had a 200 lb battery to...
This is too funny, the wider the tire, the more resistance, the lower the mpg. The taller the tire ratio, 60, 70, etc, the more complience. The larger the...
I don't care to much about what size tires etc. I just like these little Ford Festivas. they are a blast to drive . hello FordFestiva .com, thank you for...
I have a freind that is swaping his AUTO Festy to a 5spd......he requires basically everything that is required for the shifter and the clutch, including the...
... Don't forget that you will also need the flywheel from the engine with the manual transmission -- the engine with the auto tranny will have a flex plate...
Hi all, Can someone tell me how to diagnose an inner tie rod problem? In my '89 Festiva L I swapped the rack with a rack I had from a parts car. The bushing...
I may have asked this about a year ago, looking for some good priced bone yards for used festiva parts. url or phone numbers would be great. thanks....
Inner tierod is just threaded on the rack, pop the balljoint off the knuckel, pull back the rubber boot on the rack, unscrew it it replace, pretty easy. bill...
Bill, The easiest way is to try to move the tire back and fourth with front of the car on jackstands while you or a buddy observes if there is any movement of...
