asking 2200 for the festi. will take 2k even to the right person. 33mpg in town 41 hwy [thumb]

lug pattern is 4x100. its a 97.

plan is to drive it stock until megan is out of school and i can quit delivering. then im doing an ls6 swap with t56 irs 8.8 and stock ecu using the fly'n miata kit

current simple little mods will be to cut the cats off and change out the final drive to something taller. its geared way to low. turns 4k at 75. festiva turns 3k

i like fuel mileage. deff not going to make a 130hp car faster by putting lower gear in it lol, just makes people feel better. if you want it faster put a turbo on it lol

i would go ahead and put a irs 8.8 in it but idk if a bp will hold up to cruise with a 278 final lol

HAHA!! dag thats cold! Wait till you need to haul something in that massive trunk of yours lol! Ive heard lots of people falling in love with those cars too, glad you are enjoying a fun car for a change.

Just imagine how those who bought the new FRS/BRZ feel with that 50/50 balanced car and a burbly boxer engine. I bet it feels great.

i have to say my mazda 3 is in my top 3 coolest cars iv ever owned, and as far as fun to drive its #2 ,#1 was my civic coupe that was in honda tuning, that thing was so much fun

and my focus being the worst car buying decision iv ever made

My old 97 gst eclipse convertible has my heart. I miss the DSM cars. The focus is faster but that car was pimp.

my trunk and passenger space is no problem. forget i got a sti too? lol

i can imagine the brz guys feel broke and stupid. they spend 24k on a miata with a non turbo old rs subaru engine. i didnt spend 24 on both my sti and my miata together lol

ive driven a lot of fwd and awd cars and i cant say that any of the fwd cars ive driven rank up with any of my favorites lol

favorite of all ive driven is c6 vette. most impressive for price is deff the miata. handles like the new vette lol
