well i have wanting to do a update on my festiva for some time now and, im bord so... the last time you guys got to see it was when i enterd it in the FOTM. now some changes have been made 
and it looks alot better and has beed made alot safer too lol... my biggest upgrade was a lug-to-stud kit and my new rims/ tires from a 1986 toyota mr2 and a bit of a alinment to fix the crazy steering lol...
i have added 2 new gauges, a cheap volt meter and a nice autometer tach from "festivawes" THANKS!!!
and i made a new rear cargo shelf out of ply-wood but forgot to take a pic of it, it has two 6.5 inch pinoeer speakes like these:
and a light from a motor home under it to light it all up, im gonna run a solid power wire to the back so it can have the light on with out having to turn on the key or anything, then im also gonna have a 12V socket in the back to run anything i need (cell phone charger, lap top... ect.)
and a copple small thing that dont need pics like new floor mats, air freshener, a coating of rainX and new to me junkyard wiper blades...
and most of my time has been spent in porting my head. i took some pics of the before and some how "lost" them... i dont know how, but i did... here is the after pics:
intake port:
exhaust port:
the intake port was a good port to start with and most of the work was done to the short radius of the port and the tear drop part of it, i fetherd out the injector path to make a smoother flow. i think i made about a 10% increase on the intake side, but on the exhaust side there was a MESS of junk that needed to be take away... the short radius was not round AT ALL so that got rounded out and the side of the port had about 1/3 of a inch exsess metal in there... so that got taken out. over all i think i did abot a 50% increase on the exhaust side, i still cant belive how bad the exhaust side was... if some one has a pic of the ports before porting could you post them up please?
here is a shot of my painted block:
and the oil pan:
and i have a copple shots of the intake manifold before i port that too, but ill leave those for when i have some after shots too and ill try to get some pics of that rear cargo shelf too.
thats about it... thanks.
