Re: What got you into modifying cars?
Well my dad was always against me modding cars and driving something fast because he got into trouble all the time when he was younger with fast cars. Well luckly for me my cousin and uncle where very much into fast cars and I was very close to them. They would always make me help them fix things on cars before I could drive even though I wasn't really interested. I enjoyed the idea of owning a fast car from driving my cuzin and uncles cars. Well it wasnt tell I got my first car (93 Probe GT) that I got interested in working on my own car. Then I got a 98 Mustang GT that I really got interested in learning how to do things myself. Luckly for me I was never in the rice era. Then when I came into the navy I got a 2003 Sentra Spec-v and started getting into imports... Now I own a Civic and really enjoy imports... But I still want a 02 FireHawk

Re: What got you into modifying cars?
my dad really didn't play a big part in me getting into the modding scene. he knows some basic stuff but that's bout it. I would have to say when I purchased my first harley I really got into working on cars and stuff. modding was a different story. didn't get into that until highschool. hung out with all my buddies souping up their hondas and domestics. now I own my own import and am holding off doing anything performance wise until I get a dd that is reliable. that is my story

My oldest brother fixed cars. The next brother raced cars. The next brother played Gran Turismo and I never saw how the game was fun. Then friends kept on calling imports ricers and I didn't know what the fuck they were talking about, I thought they were saying Chrysler's. As I was trying to point out, "No it wasn't." Then I saw the light. PS2 was Gran Turismo and now with the 360 its Forza.

Re: What got you into modifying cars?
I am proud to say i got in to it a year before FF came out. I am sad to say i had to start out with a 95 Hyundai Accent since it was all i could afford. First it was a Macco paint job, then i started researching more and more and it grew from there to intake , lowering, a WEAPON R 3" muffler that i thought was the shit back in 2000 and so on.
Then i was stupid enough to get in to Automotive field and after that is when it all just went downhill, cant wait to get out and only play with my car rather then fix other peoples shitboxes.
Take my advice, never mix hobby with work!
I guess as others said its a quest about becoming unique and getting more out of the car then it has to offer from factory.
