I don't get it.
You just making fun of this proect? Think someone here should buy it? Or is it yours and you ment to put it in the for sale section?
Now if you "copied" Jay Leno's Festiva project.....
Rear engine SHO, that could be "fun".
If it's a lifelong MN car, avoid it. The underbody will be rusty as all hell.
It's tougher to swap in a Z/Dtec than you might think. There's no way to do a direct swap. Differnt car MFG altogether, Festiva/Aspire were made by Kia. That means custom everything, CV's, cradle, mounts, harness, etc, etc, ...
Just easier to cut weight in a Focus.
Ya, I've done a little thinking on it.

if you were to make mounts( aint hard as long as you use a tape measure) and fine a way to swap knuckes or hub flanges it would be a cake walk they use a three point floating drivetrain like the focus.iminhell wrote:If it's a lifelong MN car, avoid it. The underbody will be rusty as all hell.
