There was a Festiva down here for sale for the longest time that had been rebuilt as a mid-engine RWD Hyabusa-powered, supposedly street legal. He must have sold it, but here's a link to it

I've probably logged 100+ passes down the drag strip, the car takes an insane beating but just wont die.

I drive something else now because 25-30 mpg just dont cut it anymore and I wanted something comfortable and quiet.

The Busa powered stiva is well known on the festiva forum, a guy named Vinnie owns it. Not sure if he managed to sell it or not.
