1. Is this your first car
- No! This is not my first car. My first car was a 5th gen Accord. It was a four banger and I loved it, until it was t-boned by a Tacoma.
2. How did you end up with the accord?
- Well.. at the time, I had a Toyota Camry, an old beat up POS. It had problems left and right. Tranny blew out once when I was going up a hill. It overheated. So after I graduated, I had about 4-5k in my bank and my parents wanted to send me to Korea for a graduation present. I told them that I wanted a new car instead, so we sold the Camry, took my money and went to buy an Accord! This was around 1.5 years ago.
3. When did you first start modifying cars?
- I'm not sure, but it was around .. 1-2 months after I purchased my car. I didn't know anything and I wasn't planning to do so.
4. Did you run into any problems along the way when you were modifying stuff?
- Did I? Heck.. there were the long nights with aching backs. There are times when I didn't have the right tools and the know-how. All the stress, fatigue & frustration just gets to you sometimes, but in the end, it's so worth it.
5. Why do you do it? Why not leave it stock?
- Hmm.. stock just seemed too plain. I wanted more for my car. I wanted to make it look nice and clean.
6. What other mods do you have planned for the car?
- Hahaha.. well this is noted in my CarDomain site. It's always constantly growing.
7. Any other cars you're tinkering with?
- Nope!
8. What's your favorite thing about your car, specifically? Which money do you feel was your best investment?
- The most favorite thing.. should be my coilovers. It just the most difference. Performance and look. Can't beat it.
9. Is there anybody you would like to credit or thank for helping you along the way?
- I'd like to thank God first of all to bless me with a superb hobby and allowing me to connect with to people that I care for and have the utmost respect for. I also would like to thank everyone on 6thGenAccord & V6Performance for the motivation to go further! Along with James Vo, Kyle, Won, Top Tune, & Eric (00Accord4cyl) for the inspiration for my car (Can't thank you enough for the pictures that you've posted on V6P!! I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you).
