festiva

[AV8ter]

There are a few Festiva Gtxs running around Asia, and the did have a 1.3 dohc and sportier bumpers.

I am thinking about a Miata B6 engine over the B6t due to availability, more aftermarket, and easier Mega Squirt solutions. It should be capable of 125 whp with Diy Itbs, MegaSquirt, exhaust, and a engine rebuild if necessary.

I could mount the Miata engine straight into my festiva with no modifications but that requires the use of the stock 4/5spd tranny(no fun). I will upgrade to a g25m tranny(escort GT probably) when I swap in the new engine.

If anyone knows where I can get a cheap Miata engine(1.6l) that is in good condition, or needs a rebuild let me know.

its not a miata engine!! its a b6d , theres one at the pullapart on buford, out of a 323 gt. I always figured the b6 wehre the same except the b6t's. The newer model B6d's had the same rods as the b6t's had, if im not mistaken. But those can be easily found in 95 mx3 rs's. And those pop up alot in the PAP.

Thers tons of g trannies on the yard also... but if ur gonna get a good tranny, you shoudl try to get a 1st gen kia sephia tranny, much much stronger than the protege/escort gt tranny. But those B6d's are easy to come by.

IM clueless on that 1.3dohc motor, ihave heard of it, but i haev never seen pics of it..lol Iguess your right. Thanx for the extra info...

i say go the extra mile and go ahead and put the bp in there
