    I like the idea.....It would be cool to see complete Aspire conversion kits available so we don't have to hunt all over for parts, mudflaps with Festy logo, cheap dash clocks, cool interior stuff too would be nice too. My two cents.

      We've actually thought about doing that but land prices around here are a little, no a lot, on the high side.

        Also, new old stock parts are always cool. Or stuff from Fourgreen.
        You could buy a crap ton of the new stuff and sell each part on here
        for more than you paid and charge US shipping on top of it. Adjust
        shipping for multiple orders. You could provide people on here means
        of getting just one or two things from Fourgreen without having to pay
        $50 to ship some window seals and a stereo surround. It'd cost people
        $12 shipping for that stuff instead, and instead of the stereo surround
        being $8 it could be $15. The window seal goes from $6 to $12. That
        order would cost the people here $40 instead of $65. You would pay off
        the shipping charge within the first few sales and after that you're gaining
        and we're saving. Just a suggestion. I thought of doing this myself, but time
        constraints keep me from being able to do it...that and my wife would kill me.
        Maybe I'm missing something big though. I'm hardly a business man. Feel free
        to tell me that's dumb haha

            I've got 10 acres and 11 festivas. Working my way there.

              Definitely interested in that grill, especially if you can include a full set of clips with it!

                Yep, all new clips and the grille has never been mounted in a car. I have enough material to make about 15 of these grilles. Can also make them completely open and patch the sides so they look factory.

                  How about full upper and lower intake manifolds for all heads.

                    Aftermarket or stock? By all heads, are you talking all B-series heads? Does anybody currently make what you are asking for? Most people aren't looking for intake manifolds for their stock or mild builds, so a little more information on what you are looking for would help.

                      Yes to the grill.

                      Also a wide open one(no center bar) would be great.

                      An underdrive pulley would be nice if it hasn't been mentioned yet.

                        Aftermarket manifolds. People want exhaust, they should want intakes also

                          Would you guys want a mesh pre-installed behind the open grille or left blank for custom installation? Also with the cost of a factory grille being about $30+, what would you guys be willing to pay for a custom grille with the clips?

                            Completely agree. It is great if an engine can exhale, but also needs to be able to inhale well. Are you thinking B6T and BP? Can't see many people putting enough air through a B3 to warrant an aftermarket intake.

                              I was thinking all 3. Bigger plenum, custom oriented throttle body positions
