Back in my fraternity days, my pledge class bought one from a junkyard for 50 bucks. The guy didn't think it ran. One of the guys I was with had an optima yellow top in his trunk. He put it in, and it cranked right up. We joked that the battery was worth more than the car.
Long story short, the "Sextiva" was a piece. We bought to use in a prank (spray painted it and got it in the TV room of our house).
Haha, I know that doesn't help at all, just thought I'd share.
I think you can swap in an escort motor (1.8 or 1.9.. I can't recall) or it was a mazda 323 turbo motor... it's been a while. Research it though..
I wonder if a MX-6 turbo motor would fit...
I've also heard of someone using a festiva as a autocross car (yes, people made fun of them but they did it anyways) I'll see if I can find the videos. I used to have a video of him racing it a few years ago.
I thought those cars were such pieces... until I saw a Yugo... so as long as you can make it fast I'd like to see it. Motors will swap into it atleast.

im a protege/escort lover, so i know the potential of the festiva.
heres my 2, my gt and my old v6 pro
You should drop in a b6d and have a ball. Theres a 323 gt in the pullapart on buford, the turbo setup is gone, but the harness is still in it... i know thats a simple direct swap. thoise can be some mean little cars. U put a bp in it and u got a quik car without the boost..
my favorites
lol wow i laughed my ass off when i saw that pic but hey they look cleanmy favorites
theres a few nice ones around on cardomain... theya re sooo light, and they take so many motors, with minor adjsutment to the bay..
the red has a 1.8bp in it
I saw one of these cars with this engine, it can wipe a quarter mile in almost 10secs...theres a few nice ones around on cardomain... theya re sooo light, and they take so many motors, with minor adjsutment to the bay..

Something about those cars make me laugh.. but really they look pretty decent. Those cars look like they weigh about 200 lbs, lol.. how much do they really weigh?my favorites
BUY MY NEW BOOK! ITS CALLED, IF YOU LIKE IMPORTANTLANTA THERE'S A STRONG CHANCE YOU'RE A FAGGOT
1800lbs
Need to cut out the fender wells and put bigger wheels and tires on onemy favorites
man .. I'd so rock a Festiva as a DD. I can't seem to find any that are for sale though ..
look up Ford aspire aslo same car, i believe they changed the name to aspire after 93 or soemthing. Theres a 95 on craigslist for 400$
yeah the aspire is the 2nd gen of a festy. i have one... lol
its slow as hell but LIGHT as sh*t. had it weighed and with me in it it was about 2000. if mine had less rust i would already have a b6t (mercury capri xr2, 323 gt/gtx) but im afraid to take it apart. i might do it when its not a DD for me.
i wish i could find decent coilovers for it tho...

Ford Festiva driver right here baby!!!
There are two modified festiva drivers in the Atl area right now. One has a BP 1.8, and another has a B6 sohc.
I got my Festiva at the end of August and have not really done anything to it yet due to lack of parts. Some esential parts to building a moster festiva include: Ford Aspire brake/suspension swap, Kyb struts, fms lowering spring, 14'' wheel and 195/45(or whatever, 45's work best) tires, and a engine of your choice. If I can find a B6T for cheap enough(200-400 dollars) I will get it.
Festiva 1/4 miles times with unmodified engines:
B6 1.6 sohc= 16s
Bp 1.8 dohc= high 14s
B6t 1.6 dohc turbo= mid to high 13s
Stock b3= 20+ seconds
Kevin
who are the other 2 guys?
i know where a b6t is for 180. it might need a rebuild tho? and im getting a new ride pretty soon. ill sell u any parts u want off my car?
and my stock b3 runs a 17.6 @ 86.
i have a cheap cone filter and my muffler rusted off. haha
id post up another pic but all mine are tiny
i dont own a camera haha.

Let me know more about the B6t, trans too? Why are you parting out the car? What is the deal with your car? You want a festiva or something? I think I might know of one you could get your hands on.
Kevin
fastivas ftw!!!!!! i have had 3 323 gt's. the b6t is a hella good motor. bpt a festiva and you got a helluva car!
JITB will remember this from years ago
Festiva Spyder Concept spotted...
reps for that resurection!
youve had 3 i just want one...
my car is cosmetically a crapbox, and is rusting. the motor/trans however are in GREAT condition. ill be buying a better car soon for school and i wont need it.
and the b6t isnt mine, its in a junkyard near my house. the trans and motor are still in the car, but should only cost 300 to get it all. no clue as to the condition though, i asked the owners of the yard and they had no idea the car was there haha.

Is it PullaPart? Off buford hwy?
I might be intrested in the whole car or just the brakes and suspension.
How much you want for the whole car? How many miles?
Kevin
the car has 81,xxx miles, but ive driven it pretty hard. its all pretty rusty but it drives decent. one of the calipers needs replacing tho.
and the yard im talking about is a place called collins salvage yard in auburn, GA. its near winder.
pm me if youre still interested.

We got a 80 something festiva sitting in the yard right now. Fiances grand dad had it before he passed away a little over a week ago. it looks gofy but her brother had to bring it down from tenn. and he has driven it every chance he gets. I think he takes it off road on the dirt roads on the back side of dacula. Rallllyy FTW... lol

that's cause you're not rallying a Honda....literally thousands of miles in my first gen integra on forest service fire roads and not a single incident
As funny as it sounds, there are a lot of Fire-breathing festiva's running around europe putting down high 250/300 hp. They have a cult following over there.
N/A>>><<<BOOST
i was wondering if there was anyone out there with these fixed up... they can be pretty bad ass little cars... there is actually a JDM Festiva GT-X that came stock with a DOHC 1.3 engine and they look pretty sick ....
