About Me:

Well to start things off I was born and raised in and around the Chicagoland area mostly on the South Burbs.   My first car I ever had was a ’92 Honda Civic.  I really didn’t do that much except for wheels since I was in High School during that time.  My next car was a ’97 4dr Honda Civic yup that’s right a 4dr.  I did a little more Mods to the car like dropping a B16A motor, full exhaust system, wheels and a complete sound system.  I actually competed back in the late ‘90s and early ‘00 in a lot of DB Drag/SPL events and was hitting around 146+db with only 2-12” subs and a 400watt amp.  I won numerous events around the Chicagoland area and surrounding states.  I got rid of the car back in ’01 thinking it was time to grow up and get a nicer car.  So I purchased an Infiniti G20 and the only mod I did were some wheels.  Then one day in ’08 I was a driving around and thought that it was time for me to get a new car.  I shopped around from a new Altima, Accord, Honda Passport and other cars.  Then I was like why the heck would I get another FWD, 4dr, or even a truck.  So I started looking for a used 350z or G35 since I’ve always wanted a sports car and always liked both cars when they first came out in ’03. 

Well when I bought my G35 and being out of the car scene for over 7 years I told myself that I wouldn’t mod the car at all.  Then one day I was searching around the internet and I found a website called ChicagoZ.com.  I joined and was on for a little bit browsing around.  It wasn’t  until I went to the first big meet they had and saw all the modded G’s & Z’s and then the modding began. It first started with wheels in the summer of ‘08.  To now a car that is setup to be on a Road Coarse or at a Drag Strip. 

Last year I joined TPX as a show car and this year I’m going a different direction and using the car at both Road Coarse or at the Drag Strip. I will still show my car so people can view all the performance mods I have done but keeping the stock look that some people still like.  Currently I’m in the middle of a complete motor build so the car can handle the abuse it will take this coming up year.  I’m hoping that I do well this coming up year but most of all its to get TPX some exposure to see what we are all about.
