    Guess i will throw up the ol' sonic blue stiva... 1988 b6t swap. Built this car for a friend "Baker" another forum member, who then later sold it to me. I got the car in 09' just before fm3. I put a little work in it new starter and battery and called up eurotiva and told him i was ready to ride out! I had only drove the car for about 300 miles with the motor in it without any problems, but whats the worst that can happen... I loaded my tool box and asked my dad if he was willing to take part in the epic adventure 600 miles north in a car i had only put half of that mileage on and he accepted.. So the next friday morning we left.. Convoyed with 7 other cars to fm3 and the car performed beautifully. Brought the car home from n.c. and took it to the track the next Wednesday and the car did a 13.9 at 103 stock wheels, suspension, boost, etc. I soon got the car to the dyno and it put down 174hp to wheels...
    The car before paint or anything


    The morning i left for madness fm3

    new wheels

    Before fm4



    I have since put on a boost controller and rewelded some mounts to help stiffen up the engine and tranny for the hard hits from the track.. I have put down many more passes in the car but haven't been able to get it to hook up the way i would like. Still wanting to throw on some slicks but now the car it waiting for a clutch to hold the extra power from the extra boost from the controller.. I have also put all new fms springs with KYB gr2's. I will get this car back into the top 10 fastest festiva's.





    I daily drive my car, when it isn't giving me issues that is. Im always out boosting around town and loving it. Have been to festiva madness the last 2yrs in a row and will be there again this year. Its always a blast. I plan on having this car for a long time and the modifications will just keep coming im sure. It has been a long hard battle with this car to keep it on the road. Mostly not the cars fault, but faulty parts. Has a new turbo, new head, another battery, 2 alternators. distributor, and im sure many other things i have had to replace. Usually seems to be a $200 parts that always goes out. But what can you expect I drive it about 500 miles a week..
    Last but not least holding it down for ff.com

    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

    Awesome!! I wasn't sure If it would pull it off against the red white and blue Festiva, that thing is too cool. Thanks for the votes! It was a tuff month of voting that's for sure.

              Nice! Congrats dude. I agree with the Skimsucka, FL all day. And, this car straight runs this state!! Eurotiva is gonna chime in but he only wins cuz of a bigger motor and a/c...pfffttt.

                      Thanks again guys! It will be at FMV. The car is a head turner if you know what these cars are normally. I get stopped all the time and people ask about it lol even sitting in traffic (almost had a guy step out into traffic a couple days ago). Fun stuff!!
