school me on festivas
Seems like a bp swapped festiva would be a great platform to embarrass people, and I'm tempted to swap my engine into one. Does the suspension suck? Are there any decent transmission or LSD options? Am I crazy?

Suspension is pretty good. Basically the same as a mk2/3 golf.
Transmissions suck they start to go around 250hp. Theres a few bandaids to make them last longer but there isn't enough room in the engine bay to fit a larger/stronger trans. Mfactory makes a lsd for them though. No you arent crazy lol. Record right now is a 11.7 1/4 mile with a turbo bp. A standard n/a bp swap will put you in low 14s high 13s.

suspension is good? are you joking? LOL
they're scary, but also amazing for making a sleeper that hurts feelings on the street
if you end up getting one, hit me up I got a friend that's parting one out that was seriously quick 1.8 BP swap, diy turbo setup, protege cable trans, mfactory diff, lots and lots of goodies
here's him messing with a 500whp terminator cobra
and doing 12's
It was a really crazy car that scared me when I was tuning it hahaha

That's probably the guy in the vid I posted. He's in phoenix and is always at the track.
