Well, since they are in essence 121s, then yes you can, as the non-base model 121s had tachometers. Don't know why...

But by the same token, if a 121 can get a tacho, then a Festiva surely...

Only 1 of the Festiva models had a tacho, mine is a manual but no tacho.
And if treated right there aint nothing wrong with a Kia Avella / Ford Festiva anyway... |

An "XR" badge from either an XR6 or XR8 on a Focus CL. Thats base model guys.... BASE model!!! Why oh WHY would you put an XR badge on a base model?
It didn't even have a bodykit.

Oh my god! It's like they've done it as a joke or something! My pet hate is LED's and lights - absolutely pointless modifications.

Spinner hubcaps, neon, stickers and pointless gauges. I saw a VN which had a heap of chrome gauge cups on the bonnet, up the pillar and across the dash. They even had a wire coming out the back down to the mounting stud. BUT, there was only white plastc insert instead of a gauge and the ones on the bonnet looked like they were actually glued on!

Dunno if this comes into the category, but I HATE seeing 'No Fear" stickers.. or ones that are on a car that a girl drives saying "this ***** bites".

I saw a very old Corolla with a cannon and a flashing neon stick on the parcel shelf doing laps near the club last night.

Ha ha, a mate saw my tacho yesterday. All he could say was...."What have you got that for? Mate you ARE 40 years old, not 17!" My wife agreed with him. Could be time to sell my car I think and grow up.

Heh, yes I saw that poor fairlane a while ago MADNC and immediately thought of you. I hoped to god you didnt see it. I cant beleive what they've done, it goes so far beyond stupid.. and the insult continues when in the description he's trying to sell it by telling prospective buyers to 'imagen lowered with tint'. then it gets worse with people asking if the 'wing' is adjustable cause "i need to know for highspeed track work" I hope to god they're giving him ****. I'm still praying that its just a really good photoshop joke..
