    Back in 1996 with me ES but with no internet like today, it was basic stuff. When I found Clublexus and met people with the cars back in 2000/2001, OMG I was hooked and that is when I got into JDM stuff somewhat and just more knowledgeable in general.

    I have the UTMOST respect for those O.Gs that modded before me! Kudos to you all!

    I've never worked on a car before, therefore I have no experience whatsoever.
    I just talk out of my ass, and somehow it's the right thing to say.
    I'm just lucky like that, cause I don't know jack shit about anything automotive.

    I grew up with working on cars. Started small. First I really got to it though, without help was in 87 really. Since then, I have stayed involved non-stop. Have owned lots of different types of cars, and done tons of different modifications.

    Well I have been doing this stuff all my life. I helped my grandfather rebuild a 455 in his Riviera. I can not for the life of me remember what year. I did more than hand him wrenches. I was about 10 then. I've rebuilt countless starters and alternators through the years. I've rebuilt brakes,carbs,and rearends with my grandfather. So I'm 35 now so I guess 25 years or so.
