Here's my vanity thread:
My test vehicle - Ford Aspire (Kia Avella/Mazda 121)
Pure 1.3L of power! What else do you need to practice, right?
If all this gets anywhere, eventually these "technologies" might end up on my "racing" car - it's a Ford Festiva with a 1.8 engine swap

You know about Lemons, right, John? :-) LOL @ both.
With the exception of GM's FWD offerings (corsa, vectra, etc), that later festiva in the first picture is likely the worst car I've driven :)
<3 Lemons :-)
Fred.

If only we had something similar to Lemons here. The closest we have is the Undie500.

Festiva got new paint, I'd better hide the old ugly looks
