    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

                        Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.
