Neat, so why Ball Joint? There has to be a funny story behind that name...
Well... Back when I first got into cars I used to have this 95 Civic that had 3 bad balljoints. The crappy thing was that I didn't know I had a bad balljoint till one of them would break in a catastrophic way.
The one that sealed the deal for the nickname was when I was driving through a grocery stores parking lot to meet up with some car guys. As I made a turn to get into a parking space The drivers side upper balljoint snapped and the car skidded to a stop. Mind you this was in front of 20+ people and when I got out of the car one of them called me balljoint and the rest is history.
I have no idea why I still have the nickname as all the people who were in the scene at the time have quit messing with cars. I guess a name like balljoint is much easier to remember then someones real name. I don't mind it anyway.

Hi,
My name is Joe but everyone knows me as Ball Joint. I'm actually from Cleveland and am a member of Cleveland Racing but I have been down to the Columbus scene a few times with the rest of the Cleveland Racing guys. Your scene is crazy!
I drive a black 94 RX-7 that (on the last motor) makes 370whp. I have been in the Cleveland scene since 2002.
Anyway, I wanted to see what you guys are up to down in C-bus and when more events were going on. Thanks.

Thanks man. I'm actually selling that exhaust. It's a old school pettit racing 3" exhaust with a custom tip. The original tip was this monster 5" tip so I had Slick Motorsports in Cleveland do a custom tip for me. It's downward sloping like a old school Porsche. If your interested PM me.
The car has alot done to it. Race ported engine, 3" DP,MP,CB, all emissions removed, K&N intakes, custom stock mount intercooler, Apexi PFC, Greddy Profec B, Non sequential turbos running 15psi, 4x850cc injectors, Walbro 255, and alot of other stuff but that's that basics.
