How am I just seeing this?! I owned a Festiva for years. Bone stock. I absolutely loved it! Except the captured front rotor design, but you did away with that. It was fun stock, I can't even imagine with the mods you've made.

Another successful autocross event at Rockford speedway. Again not too much pictures had my older son with me and we just were caught up in the moment.The layout was really tight and technical but man this were the festiva shines. Been small and underpowered worked on my favor

Once I finish the intake manifold, the motor would be going to the machine shop.

I had to machine flat the intake flanges. Short block and head are completely assembled. Decided to clean the wiring and do a simple wire tuck.

Everything is done. From new cold air intake to the mild wire tuck. Putting a few miles on the current tune to make sure I have no leaks. And hopefully hit the Dyno for a tune and numbers

So far I have put 900 miles and hpde/hsax event. Motor seems to be happy. No Dyno numbers but hopefully by the end of the month. I was also able to knock almost 3 seconds off of my pb at BHF and I know I didn't become a better driver over night.
