Re: '88 F*rd Festiva Autocross/Track/Daily Driver Build
I finally got around to painting my spare set of wheels that the 120 treadwear NS-2R's are mounted on and swapped them onto the car for the summer. They're not quite scrubbed in yet but the extra grip is already very evident. After getting used to the Festiva with these tires I jumped back into the Miata (on coilovers and 260 TW Nitto's) and it was hanging on for dear life at corner speeds that the Festiva shrugged at. Can't wait until the next autocross!
Since I sold the blue '66 C10 I've had to use the Festiva as a truck. Not quite as easy to load up but it works.
