B6T you guys are nuts

[SleeperSaturn]

BUILD A 12 SECOND CAR FOR $1000!?!?! You guys are nuts. So I was at work and some kid walks in talking about puting a Mazda B6T in a ford festiva. He said he got the car for under $500 and found a wrecked donor mazda for even less. Did you ford guys know your driving a car designed by mazda, built by kia, and claimed by ford? who knew??

well you cant really just do that and run 12's... more than likely a high 13 with proper tuning... theres more than just the b6t swap which really is quite common these days. i have an escort gt BP series engine swap along with its transmission (the gearing is nicer than the festiva and the hp is roughly the same as the b6t but without the turbo) its a 1.8L DOHC motor and a hydraulic operated transmission (it was fun swapping from cable operated lol)

visit www.fordfestiva.com, on the forums ive been on for years theres everyone swapping everything from a little b6 sphc motor(mazda 323) to a guy who has done an entire nissan pulsar GTiR all wheel drive turbo 2.0 motor and drivetrain swap... the list is endless and everyone has their own preferences to what is the best and how to go the fastest!
