JT for those you dont know used to have one of the hottest civics on the planet... there was a time when Atlanta used to own the show scene and this was one of the top cars.

[blacknightteg]

Says the kid with a beat up, steelie ridin', dented and faded hood, 4 door, POS Civic owner...... You kiddin' me, right? STFU seriously. You are at the bottom rung of the ladder and you're talking???? Give me a break.

Some of you will NEVER know what it's like to compete against FRIENDS....the same friends that when YOUR car was down would roll up THEIR sleeves and HELP you put your car back on the road instead of rushing home to post drama on the internet. Yall will never know what that's like. So stop hatin' and appreciate something you'll never be a part of.

Not only does that upset me a little cause I am missing those great times, but the fact that todays "TUNERS" will NEVER EVER know what that feeling is like. Back in those days everyone helped everyone. I can remember running over and helping with final detailing touches on peoples ride cause they got off of work late. Staying up till all hours of the night to work on someones car just to get up and compete against them the very next day at a show. Thats back when the "sport" of it had a certain meaning to it. DAMN IM GETTING DEPRESSED NOW.....

He even had the foot pedals in the floor board at one time as well. Jeff was always a real cool cat. I remember helping a couple of times when the car was over at Barnett Performance on Buford Hwy. ExVtecGirl was there and a bunch others. Back then, everyone was out to have fun and there was NO drama at meets and events. Later, QD.

[Echonova]

I would pee in that girls butt...

[Echonova]

I'm sorry... There was a car where???

[Kevykev]

That car was the truth back then, that WILD Stuff was really the thing to do.

That was shortly after my last show "Team Street Legal" ALABAMA DRAGWAY... you know....when his hood flew off LOL.

p.s - you talked my girl into modeling on stage Paul ahhh the dayss....

dude those were the days...

[Kevykev]

dude those were the days...

Didn't I let you guys take her to the mall... WITHOUT ME?


damn that said a lot about my character (in terms of relationships) "Back Then"

I certainly wasn't the possessive type. LOL

Jeff was scared later on that when some random guys offered to help him with the body work since the shoot was soon. It was storming and they had him driving down some lonely dark country roads.

[JITB]

is it still in tact in that garage?

[AnthonyF]

I remember that car. When SHOW was before GO.

-Ant.

[Brett]

Thats when show cars were what made the scene, When people went out and built unique cars, I will never forget when JT would bring that to the shows.

Hell the show scene was at the top of its game back in those days

[Evil Goat]

I remember that car. When SHOW was before GO.

-Ant.

for some, i remember making fun of this car several years ago at nopi

[Rican219]

AH Yes the Lego Monster. That is when Perfected Images ruled the show scene.

We had big Players in both WILD and MILD Myself (Galant), Dion (accord), Paul (FUKUS), Ty (one of the first RB Swapped 240's), Julio (Hatch), Brian (Extreme), Brian (Mirage) many more I can't recall

When Jeff pulled that cover back at Nopi 2001 at the hotels the crowd of about 150 people all Ahhhhh'd at one time LOLZ those were the days.

He still has the car and there have been talks about calling his sponsors and possibly bringing it back.

dude ya you let me and i think Joe pesca take your girl shopping for a bathing suit; which you still w/ that girl? she was a cutie

but ya jeff's hood came off and he drove in the rain to some shop in the middle of no where to repaint the hood and the paint ended up being some pale yellow color that didn't match

man i tell ya those days were crazy. i do miss sometimes the old PI days.

[Brett]

The old show days I miss, when showing was really more for fun that a trophy

[quickdodge®]

And fun we had. Later, QD.

[4dmin]

fun and good competition which made the scene thrive... everyone wanted to hear their name be called during those Best Of's... ya it sounds cheesy paying for self gratification through a plastic throphy, but it was more then that. It was cool back in the day when local shows had 100-300+ people there showing. Winning in front of your peers was one of the highlights of the scene

i remember weekends me and my boy Pedal would hit up 3 shows in a weekend. boy i look back now i could of probably paid cash for most of my wifes school on all of the money spent on cars + traveling etc...

[blacknightteg]

unforunetly because its evolved the way that it has, it really wont ever be like that anymore, which in is unfortunetly. those types of cars, show cars, is what got me into the scene. i always thought those cars were the coolest cars.

[Ran]

Not feeling the car at all. It looks like he worked hard on it but it's definitely not my cup-o-tea. I'd prefer something much more subtle.

[SiRed94]

I remember that car... I think I have pics of it from NOPI quite a few years back...

[T.S.]

HAHA i hung out with JT at the Varsity meet this past time. He was up there just walking around and I ran into him. Yes he still has the car. Its in a lot of pieces. I talked to him about putting it back together and trying to bring it back out. I told him I would chip in all the free time and some money he needed help with to put it back to rolling state. I have many awesome years of rolling around in that car and staying up to all hours of the night cleaning it and making it look awesome. When his car came out there was really nothing that was running on his level.


~Actually does anyone remember when this car was green and just had the body kit and wheels on it? hahah
~I remember being at TunerFest and we were headed back to the house and him dropping the bags and slamming and dragging it across the ground in front of the show crowd.
~Lets see or what about when it feel off the trailer and it took 7 of us to pick up the back side and lift it on to the trailer.
~Or when he gave Jeff G. a block of wood to hold up his motor at the Mazda show. And Jeff G. ended up winning best of show. LOL
~Or all the PI meets up at the Junior Varsity.

Those days are long gone now. =(
