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

Awesome. Is probably just run N/A. My engine will be around 150 rwhp if I ever finish it. Swapping the assfire parts to get decent hubs sounds like a pain though.

Would the 99 Miata intake manifold fit without the throttle body smacking into the strut tower?

B6Tfastiva 12-15-2013 08:23 PM

Aspire stuff is direct swap just unbolt your stock knuckles and bolt the aspire stuff on. Just have to switch to aspire outer tie rods. No only way a miata manifold will work is if you cut the tb off and weld it to the opposite end.

theres a guy with one at the track events i do that embarrass people regularly. i have no idea what his setup is, but it doesnt look like he has a lot of money into it.

B6Tfastiva 12-15-2013 09:53 PM

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