    Thumbs up OLD MAN-NEW KID ON THE BLOCK

    Hey this is J Man,

    I just wanted to give a shout out to all the Import Atlanta Brothers & SIsters.

    You have been very Cool with me coming to your site. I am greatful for your hospitality

    Here is the Low Down on the J Man.

    At 38 I had an Awakening. I was the Parts Manager for Alan Cox Automotive & had been there for 11 years. My job was starting to bore me & I needed something differnt.

    I had heard about this Tuner World that was taking the country by storm for several years & I said why not.
    I talked my boss into letting me start a Performance Division within the company & we are now in our 4th year & I am having a blast.

    I am 42 now & I am proud to say our Car Club, Redline Auto Club has Grown from 5 to 55.
    My passion is going on the Road Tracks. I have driven at Little Talladega Grand Prix in Ala & Roebling Road in Sanannah. Our Club is going back to Roebling Road in November with Chim Motorsports for a 2 day Track Event.

    I have a wife & two kids & I teach Sunday School for the 7th grade boys at First Redeemer Church.
    Dont treat me any differant than anyone else. Jesus kept it real & was part of every comunnity & thats what I try to do as well.

    Alan Cox Automotive has grown in the Performance World but I would not say that we are the best Performance shop in the Atlanta area, but I would say that we are part of it.
    In fact it has been my goal to build relationships with the other Performance Shops & people in the Tuner World in order to not only make us better but to offer our Customers & Club Members the very best of both Worlds.

    We have a good relationship with folks in the Marietta area & even farther out of our area.

    NAPA MACHINE SHOP (MITCH WORKED WITH COMPTEC FOR SEVERAL YEARS)
    PACIFIC ENG
    IMPORT AUTO SALVAGE
    HONDA PARTS CONNECTION

    CAR CLUBS

    HANKATEKI (I KNOW I MISSPELLED IT)
    S2000 CLUB OF ATLANTA
    MOCA (MX3 OWNERS CLUB OF AMERICA)
    TIGER RACING
    PRELUDE CLUB
    JOKER PERFORMANCE
    AND OF COURSE OUR OWN CLUB REDLINE AUTO CLUB

    We sponsor 4 Race Car Drivers

    Tim Myers______2005 Mazda 3 SCCA Road Race SSB Class

    Marko Horn_____1989 Honda CRX SI SCCA Auto Cross

    Chris Creech____1993 Mazda MX3 SCCA Auto Cross

    Kyle Feltman____2006 Subaru WRX SCCA Auto Cross

    What ever good we have achieved has been due to all of the folks mentioned above.
    It is my hope that the Import Atlanta comunity will become another positive extinsion to what the club, the shop, & myself are becoming.

    Thanks for everything

    J Man

    So what does ACA do? What does the performance division specialize in and offer? And where is it located?

    Cool Thanks for the welcome.

    Alan Cox Automotive has been a Honda & Acura Specialty in the Marietta Area for 23 years. This year we hired a Performance/Maintanence Tech that is diverce with multiple Import Models. His name is Justin. His passion is working on Mazda's. He is a member of MOCA (MX3 OWNERS CLUB OF AMERICA).

    Sherry is the Owner & Office Manager. She along with Alan Cox started the Bussiness together 23 years ago. Alan left the company about 10 years ago & Sherry continues to push on.

    Jeremy is our Honda/Acura Performance Specialist. His specialty is Honda S2000s & Acura Integras. He learned everything on S2000s the hard way so if you have a question about doing upgrades on S2000s it might be worth a call.

    Jon is our Auto Cross/Road Race Guy. Suspensions & Tires are his claims to fame.

    Marshall is our Maintanence King. He has been with us for 16 years. He has a fully restored 1979 Honda Accord Hatch Back that looks like it came off the Show Room Floor. He has a 1989 Accord LXI Coupe that is almost as nice. He is a Original Equipment only guy.

    Chris is our Shop Forman & has been with us for 19 years. He helped me get the Performance Division started. He blew his back out a few years ago so now he is our Jedi Master. He drives a 1994 Honda Accord Ex Wagon. Its Tricked out on a Mild Scale & looks great.

    Nick is our Service Manager. He has been with us for 7 years. He knows more about Recalls, Service Bullitens, & what your car needs to keep it on the road than I will ever think about.


    Hey it probably is not Cool to promote the Shop so much with out paying some dues. Who do I talk to about Advertisement?

    Our Shop has 9 Lifts, 3 Flatt Stalls, Alignment Machine, & a big Service Isle.

    We dont have a Dyno but we do have a Wide Band O2 Sensor & Data Loger so that you can do Minor Air Fuel Adjustments & with Drivability Tuning.

    www.alancoxautomotive.com


    Until I learn how to put photos on your site you can go to www.redlineautoclub.com & click the Photo Album at the top and I drive the 03 Honda Civic Si.

    I dont have a lot done to it but it has a few Mods. Its a daily driver.

    Hey, just a word about the Car Show(REDLINE INVITATIONAL).
    I would appreciate it if any of the Club Officers could at least come out & critique the Show & talk to me about how you can be a part of it next year & make it better.

    I think I got this Sucking Up Stuff down pat . Dont run with that

    Enough about me.

    Tell me some stuff about you.
    How did you become the Rap Daddy Funk Master that you are?

    Well I asked, so no1 will flame you. You can talk to "Julio" or "Admin" (both screenames) and they will square you away as far as getting banner on the site. I am looking for one of these though --> http://forums.importatlanta.com/showthread.php?t=59472

    Maybe your guy Marshall can assist?
