Wassup guys. i've been lurking around this site for a while now but never got around to posting an introduction, I finally found the time so here goes.

I'm new to the VIP scene but not new to the tuning scene.* For as long as I can remember I've been into Hondas.* I'm actually coming from the Honda-Tech forum where I regularly hung out the last few years.* I've pretty much done everything at a hobbyists level.* I've swapped engines, DIY tuning, drag raced/autocross.* I never dealt with the show scene cause that just wasn't my thing.* Besides, keeping it clean and simple was more the direction I took with my cars.

So far i've owned:
1992 Civic Si HB / JDM B16A SiRII / RIP
1992 Civic CX HB / JDM B16A SiRII / SOLD
1994 Integra GSR / SOLD

Here are a few pics:

I've always been interested in Japan and it's culture especially when it comes to cars.* I've noticed the VIP scene before looking through old JDM car magazines but used to think to myself, "I'll never get to own a baller car like that!"* But guess what?* We all grow up, we get better jobs, and start making a little bit more money and when you put your mind to it and set yourself some goals it CAN be had* *:)

So just recently I bought myself a 1999 Infiniti Q45t and so far i'm loving it!* You can say whatever you want about the car but I came from a line of Civics so driving a luxury car like this is a true luxury!* hahaha

Here are a few pics as it stands, no mods yet as i'm collecting parts right now.

The reason why I chose this car is cause I wanted to keep the VIP theme with a true VIP platform cause the way I see it, there is "VIP styling" then there is "VIP car."* Plus I always said that if I had to choose a car other than Honda it would be a Nissan.* And that leaves my bro open to get his Lexus LS400* *:D

So here I am, continuing my automotive venture into the VIP scene.* I'm not in it to get into a magazine or win trophies at a show, this is more of a personal venture and to take a break from the fast paced tuning scene.* Now, if I decide to return to that, my next car would be a Honda S2000...* i'll always love Honda* *:smitten:

Thanks for the comments :) I can't wait for the modding to begin either but I'm gonna take it slow. Gotta gather as much info as I can before jumping into anything, ya know. Right now I'm focused on lowering the car and getting bigger wheels. I'll be posting pics along the way so keep an eye out for me! ;)
