      Great to hear from you Joe! You need to stop in more often.

      NOTE Joe doesn't want this to be a bashing thread and this is not the proper forum for it. So IF you decide to jump on the bashing Joe wagon here your thread will be deleted. I respect him for going to great length's whether he succeeds or not, atleast he stuck his neck out there and gave it his best. I wish him all the luck in the world!

        I absolutely applaud Joe for doing what he's doing, which is why I'm slowly pimping out my festiva as well. It's great because it's something that's never been done before. Everyone always chooses to trick out Civics, Integras, etc. etc. but it's all been done before 1000 times over. What he's doing is showing that you can take any car and make it truly unique and stand out. If you go out and race it, people will remember it. It's like someone says, "Man you remember that civic that raced that 12.5s run?" and someone would be like "Which civic? There was so many.". But if someone said "You remember that festiva that ran that XX.X?" then they'd be like "Yeah man that was sick."

        I mean my Festiva is nowhere near as good as The Eye of Ra, but I'll eventually work my way up there. I'm just about to buy some 13" 100 spokes pretty soon and start working on the engine from there. But I mean, when I do all of this, I do it because I know not many people will spend time and effort on something as simple as a festiva.
