So i’m picking up a 93 Festiva.

boo yah.

What can I do to it?

motor swap? suspension? I need ideas but try and keep it fairly cheap as this is only a beater till I find another car.

I heard something about a b6t swap?

Get the cheapest horsepower possible, run some NOS and see how much it could take before a piston goes through the hood. Hey doesn’t Theo have a Festiva?
