Festiva Aerodynamics
Just got done with a rough grille block. Decided to angle it from bumper to hood. I went with a partial as not to overheat this summer.
Also added are Wheel/Tire Deflectors/Tabs. Still working towards 50mpg!!! https://www.mypicshare.com/thumbs/20070609/jlsanvpo.jpg |
Pictures!?

you mean to tell me those festivas dont already get 50 mpg? what do they get? (i know they can get up to 90 mph tho)

I Haven't touched the timing yet. Thanks, after this tank I will :) Quote:
I'm not sure if I am going to keep it like it is (really stands out) or just cover the grille 'flush'. I guess it depends on my mpg this tank! ;) Quote:
New EPA rating 30/37 - 33 combined mpg (Old EPA 35/41 38 combined mpg) |
Festivas are a rarity around my area ( Metro's on the other hand though! Wow I didn't know they made that many LOL) I rather like the new grill block you've done . If it were me I'd leave it .

just a thought, if you are not planing on filling in the gap on the sides of the grill block then why not go all the way across? i know that you are thinking of cooling but there should be enough at speed and when you are stopped the fan should be able to pull it in from the sides. same with the one on the bottom. my .02

On mine I cut a couple slots in the grill block that I keep clear packing tape over. If it is really hot and I get paranoid about overheating then I pull one or both off. I haven't had any problems with the engine getting hotter than normal. Even on 90 degree days. I forgot to tear off the tape one day leaving work on a mid 80 degree day and still had no problems.
