+1 for hot wheels and I also had these wind up race cars that ran on tracks and did loops and stuff, was awesome had a yellow lambo and a red ferrari. The next big influence would have to be back in like freshmen year of HS when I got Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero for ps2 god I would trade all my games and Xbox for a PS2 and a working copy of that game... Fucking kicked ass, I had a built s13 before I even knew it was a nissan lol

I remember the first day i ever grew the appreciation. I was in my high school bus back in 2001. My best friend had introduced me to a magazine with hondas. I saw the articles that showed the modded cars and the pages with aftermarket accesory advertisements. Ever since then I was hooked.
And i dont see why the awe over people gaining the passion after F&F. As much as we look and see how corny it was, the industry had exploded after the release of that motion picture. IT probably wouldnt be as big as it is today without it. We probably wouldnt see the aftermarket options we have today. Real shit.. |

Acouple of buddies of mine introduced me to initial D (3rd stage) and I thought it was a really fun game and then my they were showing me car magazines and as well as standing around/working on my friends FC3S. Too many great memories and a great learning experience.

Always wanted a BMW 7 series, but my parents weren't rich so they helped me buy my first car which like always had to be reliable and good on gas which =HONDA and yet Accord! lol So picked up my first 97 Accord LX, first car lots of excitement. Then my cousin bought a same car but EX and on his valve cover it said VTEC. I wondered what VTEC meant and the journey began.

Me, pretty much hot wheels and playing old racing games on playstation and Sega Saturn. When f&f came out it introduced to the underground import tuner scene and from there on I was hooked like a fish on a line. Started out in a 90 Honda Prelude Si and a car club which was full of wild race/meet nites. Good old times.

My friends older brother got me into cars. I used to cruise in the projects with my friend, and one day his brother comes home. He was driving a custom painted 4 door DA Integra. It was custom painted blue, and was dropped on Fondmetal chrome wheels. He had an eclipse head unit, and a Collins bandpass box. Now, if you been in the game long enough, you will know about how bad ass this car must have been, back in those days. From that point on, I wanted to get into imports. I learned how to drive stick, with my boy's 89 CRX Si. My life was changed from that point on. The same friend that had the CRX, decided to buy a 97 Prelude, when it first came out. He decided he didn't like it, so I offered to take over the payments, because I was in love with that car. I was rolling around, tucking the stock 16's to the rim!! Blew up in the street racing scene, which I admit were some of the best times of my life. We were doing f&f, every night!!! Those days are long gone, but I'm still having fun, building my 13. I would never go back to Honda's, unless it was the new NSX.

Growin up my pops wasn't really around. He wasn't a deadbeat or anything he just worked a shit ton. My next door neighbor was prolly in his early thirties and was really into drag racing legal and illegal. Mostly big muscle cars and the like. I prolly annoyed the fuck outta him always asking question but always there lending a hand. From that point on I was hooked. Later on when I was driving every car I owned I couldn't leave alone. I had a couple hondas, had a jeep, and other random stuff. Went to school and got certified in different welding methods. After that got a job at a hot rod shop, and continued to bounce around at different shops learning different things motor work, wiring, bodywork etc. I actually just started playing around with 240's over the last couple of years, but my main "niche" I guess u could say is American classics. I now work for a shop in corona doin restoration and custom work for domestics from the late 30's all the way up to the early 70's

My car had a kit car when I was a kid, but sold it when he got married.
After I came along he kept his car appetite at bay with all the normal car magazines of the time: Kit Car, Car & Driver, Road & Track, Motor Trend, all of which I got second hand when he was through. I used to cut out all the awesome lambos and ferraris and make collages out of them. when I got older I wanted to know more about them and started going back and reading the articles that no longer had photos in them haha. It just snowballed from there really. |

I'm sure more people found F&F more interesting then F1 when they were younger.
