i like the turbo. I tought you would have at least taken the old duct tape off

or called a brother...


looking good dude. You've come a long way since snapping socket wrenches in the driveway of your old house. Wish I could be there to help with the project.

Turbocoupe turbos aim the downpipe elbow directly at the block. Boo.



So I fixed it.

I think it's kick ass to see something different being built.

Don, on the real, what kinda mpg will this thing get? Im SERIOUSLY thinking about building a fake SVO, because a real one is way too much gd money for a daily, but I can get a pof auto 4 banger coupe and put a turbo'd 4 pot in it for 5-6 grand all said and done, and it will look like, well, not a Festiva... If I went Grayhorse or 91coupe'esq on the interior I could prob get it down to 2400 lbs... my friend had a GR40 SVO that John Griggs built and owned a while that weighed like 2350 or so.

Just put one of the newer 3.7L n/a motors in it. Lighter, about the same money, almost 300whp, and it will sip 87 octane gasoline for 150K miles trouble free.

Nothing better than putting in on a M3 from a dig on the street.

I didn't think they were that quick from a dig.

[Cooter]

I'm not dissing it. I'd rock the shit out of that clownmobile!

I was just making a funny

[Rick Modena]

Youre still gonna have to park it around the corner when you come to my house...

lol!

just hang it up in the coat closet where nobody can see it

More, lol!

And that's why it's awesome. How many times do you see a festiva and expect it to bust that ass?

While I could respect the performance abilities and the amount of work put into it, I still think they are ugly as sin.

And dont think I dont know about over performing what the expectation based on look is precieved: the fairmont has raced twice and been in C&D 3 times already, and been handed a trophy for just that.

I know you arent going to understand this, but it doesnt matter if it gets 900mpg, goes zero to two hundred in half a second, or will out handle an f1 car, at the end of the day it's still a festiva.
