I'm kinda shock that the guy with the Lexus spent $150,000 to transform into a Aristo.

I think it's a misconception that the B18C1 is 160hp. Even though we all know it's 170. I've seen it before.

Decent article

Thanks for not flaming . Yea its pretty cool to be in the paper. Since we are such a small town everyone was like hey were you the one in the paper today. HAHA well not everyone but some people.

Yes im from modesto but SHHHHHH...j/k its too late for that. now everyone knows where i live. and how much money i spent haha. oh well

Fast and FURIOUS

Yes very nice to see some good news about the import scene. Im glad I finally made it in the pic this time cause last time it was just the back of my car with the co-owner of performance autoworx. But this article is definetly going in a frame and up on the wall.

BTW... I know most of those guys in the article except the guys from westcoast motorsports or local rice shop haha. Performance autoworx is our jdm shop. but i know the aristo guy the nsx guy and a couple others. very nice cars and very quick. if you have any questions for them i can ask them for you guys. anyways thanks again for the congrats.

"Japanese parts -- such as Tokico struts, Tsudo exhausts, Motegi wheels and Toyo tires -- are the most popular components he sells."


too bad tsudo exhausts and motegi wheels are not Japanese parts

I was thinkin the same thing....

Its an okay piece, I just wish he would have tried to confirm some information with the ITR guy. I write/edit a newspaper and one thing I try to do is make sure my subject matter experts review their quotes and background info.

Japanese parts like - Pepboys, APC, Indiglo and Spork

It shows he was more concerned about just writing A story versus a GOOD story. But at least you guys got some coverage and even bad press is better than no press sometimes....Hot Rod magazine was the same way back in the 40'sand 50's 'damn punk kids"

Good work on the R too
