what you guys think of ford festivas?



I think they look pretty neat. Anyone boost them?

I think they have alot of potential. Ever heard of a Shogun Festiva. It's basically a Ford SHO engine in a Festiva. Not for the weak at heart.. Very quick ride.


Good luck finding one. Best bet is boost.

i think they would look very nice with some modest alloys and lowring it with a nice exhaust and some tints.

You can build a very fast Festeva for no money. Just stick the 1.8 motor(323) in it. It bolts right up. The problem is the axels. They look like pencils, and there are no after market parts for these cars.

you could do a escort gt swap. but you have to then use Capri XR2 halfshafts. The escort cv joint wont go into the tranny.
