I know how you feel. I tried the same thing with old VW and Samurai parts. It wouldn't be so bad if you had a crew working for you. But it just got out of...

Thanks for the heads up regarding tire size and your comments regarding the hub bore. I have no complaint about the heat here in the west since it is a dry...
Is there someplace on web where I can get above tire?. I think the country is out of stock. The only brand I know of is Kumho. I think the wait now is...
Am I right in assuming that 155/80R-13 tires will fit the 323 rims? The car will sit a little taller off the ground, but are there issues regarding clearance...
They will fit the wheels. They will be taller than stock. Depending on the wheel offset, they may rub the rear spring perches (but I think it's unlikely). The...
I have a question on the late 80's 323 aluminum rims. Are these 13" or 14" wheels? I have a 93 Festy with the stock suspension. I don't intend to upgrade it...

Easy, my foot! Round these parts, we call confusing those names Blasphemy! :D (I'm only teasing... I'm making fun of my constant correcting people, "IT'S A...
The wheels we've been talking about are 13 inch. Some 14 inch wheels will also fit. If you look in the Photo section you'll see a picture of someone's white...

On the subject of tires. How many miles do you people get on a new front set? We average about 10to12 thousand on 155/80-12 and then the outer edges are gone....

I've always thought that Ford has had several opportunities to name their new small cars Festiva. When I first saw the Focus, I thought that was a missed...
That is a little low on the mileage, but a lot depends on your driving habbits, tire pressure and the quality of the tires. The 155/80-12 tires are skinney and...
The company prints a rag once a month and it had a big write-up in it on the Fiesta. It will be a 2010 model that should be out in the fall of 2009. They chose...
You can run the 155/80/13 on your stock suspension without any worries at all, other than your speedo is a bit off. I have run them every winter on the 323...
Personally, that sort of mileage sounds about right for a set of tires of the Korean type, or the Douglas 155/80 that Wal Mart carried for many years. I wear...
Were going to 13 in. as soon as that $600.00 check appears in the mailbox! I called the yards around here and there's plenty of 323 steelies available but no...

There is a heavy rub and catch coming from the front wheel, passenger side. The brake pads were worn out, so we put new ones in. Rotor and caliper seem to be...

Could be the front wheel bearing. Sounds sometimes travel and fool you and are difficult to pinpoint. Also without hearing it makes it hard to diagnose. Have...
Yep, the rub is there with both front wheels up, and the transmission in neutral. It's a scraping sort of a rub, with an intermittent "bump" when something...
Does the sound come from the brake rotor area? You mentioned you had to replace one rotor. These have to be pressed on with a hydralic press. It is possible to...
