The owner sent me pics and explained what happened, can't remember, slept since then and lost the emails.. But he has another Festy now from what I understand. I never posted the pics here for fear that the members would crucify him for the Leno chin bumper.
There's one in Sport Compacts under readers rides. Primered, kinda ratty looking. Owner autocrosses it. He says nothing like a fixed up POS with an uncorked exhaust to get glares from people. :shock:

Thanks for the mention Kraig, I was hoping somebody had seen my car in the Apr 07 issue.
yeah I have to admit the paint looked pretty crappy in that pic. I have since redone it (once
again in .99 cans of flat black). Looks much better now, check it out.
AutoX is the best and with decent tires and suspension setup you can run with the best
even on 1.3L. I have been beating WRXs and Miatas left and right through the cones.

Aero Race Wheels 13x6 w/ 3.5 backspacing got them on clearance for 30 a pop. I just checked and they have 5 left in silver and 2 in black. also other various sizes and bolt patterns. They are still 30 apiece. These are spun
steel and only weigh 12lbs each. They have a new style (you will be buying old style, like mine) but they are 60 each and they don't come in 3.5 BS anymore. Mine were alittle beat up (scratched paint and such) yours will be too.
Oh yeah they have a ton in 2" BS you don't want them they stick out way too far and cause to much torque steer. If you like that though I will sell you a set for $90 Shipped. Black 13x6 2" BS I ordered these not fully understanding what I was getting and they are not returnable. They will charge about 170 for these shipped. -Chris
