My story:
I got rear-ended Feb. 19th 2004.
I decided to tear this car down to the bare frame and completely restore, upgrade, and innovate with fresh ideas. Almost three years later, I have the roadcourse built car that I have always wanted, with a setup that will lay down consistent 11's on the dragstrip, (Even though that is not where 3S should be, haha.) And lastly, a stunning example of a well balanced 3S for show.
Big thanks to Greg at AEM, Dennis and Eric at ImportCulture, Eddie W. and Leonard E., Chris D., Josh C., R.J., Mike K., Brian B., Forrest, Fransisco, the staff at Modified Magazine, Kyle Richardson at K.A.R. studios, Ray P., Steve at 3S Motorsports, Merkel engines, Jeff at IPS Motorsports thank you for your business's partial sponsorship, Steve at 3SX, Matt at Dynamic and everyone else if you've ever lent a hand or cracked open a beer in my garage while I wrenched on the car. A special thanks to Philip at Supercar Engineering and StopTech for their contribution! =)
