intercooler piping is done











Also finished wiring (i hope)


and put one fender on

[shorestiva]

So close mostly just waiting on parts.

wiring for the wideband



short shifter I made


intake pipe


got other fender on


bumper welded up


Rolled it out today had to raise the rear coils up so the rear tires wouldnt rub. Also had to put the 14s on the front cause the 13s were rubbing the knuckles.

that car is looking really sexy and clean... your intercooler is huge! With the custom end tanks you made did you put any diverters in to help split and funnel some of the air flow up to the top part ?

How much for the spider gears? hopefully you didn't toss them

[shorestiva]

Nope it was the first time my dad has ever really welded aluminum and I didnt want to complicate things.

I think I still have them. Ill try to remember to check tomorrow.

My friend came over and tried to buff out the wet sanding. Also put the hood and hatch on.





After 4 hours he still couldnt get it all out. Shouldn't have sanded it with 600 need to find some 1000 grit or higher and wet sand it again.

I am in serious need of them.. maybe, i'm pulling an egt trans tomorrow to try and pull the spider gears from it. But if they don't fit, you're about all i've got. The mazda and ford dealerships told me it is a discontinued part and there are absolutely no b6ts here in utah other than mine, as far as i know anyway

Fabbed a brace to keep the hood from flopping




lower rad hose


intercooler pipe hits the tire at full right lock

[Threetwenty3]

That has to be the biggest inter cooler ive ever seen in a festiva! Very sick! Are those KYB adjustables made for the festiva or did you have to do some fab work to make them fit, Other than shave down the hats?
Love the build man keep it up!

[shorestiva]

The rears? They're from a mitsu mirage bolt right in didnt even have to drill the hats. The fronts are Bfs. Other than the hats just had to cut the old perch off and weld on a new one.

Why such a huge IC?

It is way to big...

Nice project, it seems you are a police officer.
