Ford Festiva
Added on Dec. 11 by Teqnyck

Let me start with the basics. Stripped to the bare floor, 1662lbs, 380 dynoed whp and 340wtq on 25psi of boost. Mazda BPT swap with forged Wiseco pistons (8.5:1), forged A-beam Carrillo rods, .57 trim t3/t4 snail.

In drag trim, 12.21@126mph on drag radials, not slicks.

In road race trim, we have yet to see, but it should be fun either way :)

In the works: Extra BicMcHugeLarge fender flares, SuperMcBig rubber to fill said fenders, better brakes, refining the suspension, and I probably should consider a cage, although I hate to add the weight.
