Actually it was Clark.. I had always wanted a supra, but when he took me for a ride in his.. he scared the living hell out of me. From then on I was determined to get one soon.. and well here I am.

That car used to win pretty much stock Clean as hell and only a few bolt ons.

**5thgcelica** · 02-15-2006, 09:45 PM

just happened to find the car forsale on the side of the road... looked cool, so i bought it... friend told me about IA...hopped on.. no one really has my car. and no one around here has really done anything to them. all the REALLY modded ones are in CA, or japan. so no one relaly. i just kinda poked on line, saw what items were/are (lack there of) availble for the car.

**quickdodge®** · 02-15-2006, 09:51 PM

I've been modding cars since 1989, so I've been at it loooong before IA was around. Later, QD.

**ironchef** · 02-15-2006, 10:10 PM

I still havent done anything to my car, someone give me money!!

**Ruiner** · 02-15-2006, 10:16 PM

I have always been a loner, somewhat unique in my pursuits.

First, the 3000GT VR-4. Nobody had one at the time and I went out on my own. The same holds true with my current car. There really was no inspiration from anyone else. I looked inside myself for that...

**Bishop** · 02-15-2006, 10:22 PM

yeah...no one has insired me....i was inspired before i got on this site.

yeah around the time he wrapped his car around a tree. i got my car. Maybe months apart...He parted it out and gave some parts to me and then john..."vroom pshhh" on the mr2 board. Im still using the greddy pe exhaust till this day...

**SixSquared** · 02-15-2006, 10:29 PM

I inspire myself. I've had the image of what my car is turning into in my head since I was 16 years old. To make up this image, I took inspiration from other people's del Sols, other cars in general, and my own personal idea.

I have been doing this for a decade. When I first started there was no one to "inspire" me really.

**gijoe0720** · 02-15-2006, 11:03 PM

If it wasn't for Never_finished I would not be doin anything to my dakota.

**rollininstyle2004** · 02-16-2006, 12:11 AM

Mostly people on the Passat/VW forums...and the dubbers on here help too

**luis** · 02-16-2006, 12:36 AM

Damn that seems like a lifetime ago when my car looked like that, Damn I did love those wheels

**ReCkLe5s** · 02-16-2006, 07:29 AM

the first time i herd a turbo.. i was like i want one of those... and its down hill from there

**speedminded** · 02-16-2006, 07:37 AM

Engine wise would have to be Len and his last ITR, before it went back to stock...Toda everything: VTEC killer cams, ITB's, AEM standalone, Fujitsubo exhaust, etc...screaming 9,700rpm shifts on the street

**Kalifornia087** · 02-16-2006, 07:40 AM

I always wanted a fast car.. But i had always wanted a muscle car. I was the "ill never drive a ricer civic" type of 15 year old kid. But when i got my liscense, i needed wheels, and the first thing i could afford at the time was my old White 1988 CRX.. LoL go figure. So i inspired myself i guess... Never looked back, and even though i love rwd more now (see: drift), i stil plan on modding a CRX one day. Maybe that's why i just picked up an 89 hatch...

**ALVIN** · 02-16-2006, 07:40 AM

I dunno if he was ever on IA, but this accord \/ was my inspiration

mine looked like \/ before i wreckeds and got an RSX

**4dmin** · 02-16-2006, 08:03 AM

i wasn't really inspired but i will say peeps like: Jeff T, Jeff G, Tim W, Greg C, Josh N, Steve K, etc... people like that make you strive to build a hot car, honestly all of these guys have been at the pinnicle of the tuner scene.

U 2 buddy I wasn't around!? How many of my cars was around? It wasn't a civic! I hope you get the runs for a whole week! J/K

**Big Baller** · 02-16-2006, 08:23 AM

One of my best friends in highschool had a AWD Talon thats kind of what got me started. As for people on here that inspired me, well I dont know if inspired me is the right word, Dan at Batlground taught me everything I know about a AEM, When I finally got my Supra, I was confident enough to tune it myself and I havent done a half bad job if I do say so myself.

**Rican219** · 02-16-2006, 08:26 AM

Anyone remember in those days when East Coast Honda was around?

**blacknightteg** · 02-16-2006, 08:32 AM

i never really had inspiration from anyone, i would now and again see cars that were modded out or just sounded fast as hell and i just started to love imports....i remember one day drivin to the mall and saw some guy drivin a nice like purple MR2 and i had no idea what the hell that car was, i went home and like looked for hours to find wtf it was untill i finally did. once one of my friends got a 98 ls teg, i fell in love with that car and got one, after i got it, i had so many plans for it and to be honest still do, but whe i joined IA i was just like "wow" to some of the cars that i saw, n i wanted and still wanted to be up in that caliber one day, promise myself that i would be whether or not it took along time or a few other cars

**blacknightteg** · 02-16-2006, 08:33 AM

btw, rican, your sig is funny as fuck

**©hris** · 02-16-2006, 10:31 AM

Reason i bought a civic

**PhatbacK** · 02-16-2006, 10:39 AM
