My uncle used to race at Langley. He would tell me stories about it all the time. He would tell me what they did to the car but at that age I had no fucking clue what he was talking about. Sounded pretty badass though. My mother also had a 71 Vette with a 454. She used to tell me about how she would streetrace when she was young. I guess I just fell into it.
My first car was some old red 86 VW jetta. It had some ugly chrome 5 spoke rims, a wing, and a loud ass exhaust. Back then it was hot shit.
Since then, I have found a love for rotary motors. My side project is an 87 RX7 T-II. I would like to get into the road racing scene, or at least some autocross.

And of course F&F and GT. That game was the shit. There was some GTO or FTO twin turbo in that game. I wanted until i found out they didn't exist. LAWLZ!

What got you into modifying cars?...............

My young fascination with fast cars(Ferrari,Lamborghini ,Porsche,etc) that motor trend provided at the stands. At age ten I found out about the import super cars (below) and instantly fell in love. Teen years I grew into the import magazines (superstreet,import tuner). I still love the Integra to this day......
