I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

who/what inspired you?

I'd have to say alot of magizines, my friends but most of all RJ De Vera. I met him in 2005 at HIN chicago and we talked and talked and talked.... I then got his personal contact and now I am good friends with him. Then I opened my own business and started talking to other business owners in the scene that were large and well known such as the owner of Titan Motorsports, Magizine editors, The guys at charge speed and etc. Ive had alot of influence and I am slowly learning how I want my car.

^^^ hahah. mine's from tokyo extreme racer.

that's when my interest in cars began. then it grew when my uncle found out that i got my driver's license. he had a sick nissan minivan back then.. bbs wheels with full fujitsubo set up and a lot of small parts. then he gave me his ultra rare momo wheel that he personally got from honda in the early 90s at suzuka circuit. i think he was watching F1? (he's got every single towel with a map of the course printed on them from the race courses he's been to) then it grew much, much deeper when he took me to mugen co.. i've seen some great stuff there.. like the supercharged mugen fit that everyone went crazy about. i actually sat in it.. 6 months before it featured on american magazines.

i'm still a fresh fish in this world of automotive tuning and spirited driving.
