    ATL has always had cars that stuck out, you just never knew about them.

    Back in 2002, Len had TODA everything for a ITR. Toda Cams, Toda ITBs, Toda Header, Mugen wheels, all kinds of shit and he was well known all over HT. IIRC his car made over 200whp at a time when cracking 200whp was unheard of in a 1.8L.

    Ken Black R on here had EF hatch with ITR 5 lug, ATS FD, ITBs, Toda cams, Hytech header, i mean he had this shit back 10 years ago. He street raced a lot just not with the riff raf ricers.

    JohnZM, Jensons 150shot nitrous GSR, my GSR CRX, my 2,0l, Bens TSX turbo, Chunkys motors, theres been TONS of cars that were on par or ahead of the rest of the country. The only difference is they had someone pushing and marketing it. No one does that now.


    Personally, the street racing scene is so secretive its almost to its detriment. The thing you guys accuse me of being (a post whore) is what made me popular, and made certain aspects of the scene popular, and drew customers to the shops i worked for.

    Its going to take someone doing something SIMILAR to what i did. Its going to take someone post whoring, marketing, pushing ideas, doing things differently, and getting people to buy into it. The only people i see really able to do that is Midnight, but no offense they dont seem interested in posting anything on here. The potential is HUGE, you realize theres NO HUGE Honda shops in atlanta anymore? Im surprised someone hasnt risen up and taken over .

    Some people just have no interest in posting things, I know I never did... AND Anymore you get bashed for the work you do!!

    But again you are right, Morris, stretch, and james could post up some builds.. I know they do them, hell they don't have to post them, they have leg humpers that will.. I told Morris to market him self, get a page going, post pics, video's etc.. He travels everywhere to tune cars!!

    I agree that when a movment is created it is by those who market what they do, be a post whore, show it can be done!

    I come off as an ass on the internet that is why no one will like my posts..LOL, but it's all good.. I'll always have a car to talk shit with!!
