Ricer to Racer

My History - From 350z to Evo X to JSR X

At Last!! My Evo X is finally tuning up to JSR X!

It's in a shop in chicago called Touge Factory and I gotta say...

these guys don't mess around!

Like many guys out there, I too walked the path of a "ricer" before I started AutoX..

Getting influenced from movies like fast and furious and Initial D..

..my frist car which was a Nissan 350z was all about the looks but inside was all stock.

Did I like the look on my 350Z?.... well, to be honest, yes I did. I had underlights with

subwoofers and speakers on the back for my beats.

This lasted for about a year until I got introduced to a motorsport called AutoX (Look at my past post for more information on Autocross a.k.a AutoX)

My 350Z couldn't handle the intense course that was made in Rantoul Airport

and it spun out so bad that you could literally see a huge piece of my tire chunk

flying across the course.

Of course I was not that good of a AutoX driver back then but when a veteran who has been

AutoXing for nearly 10 year drove the car he was very disappointed at my car.

Is a 350Z a bad car? Hell No! It's an awesome car! Just that my car sucked real bad due to

it's past... which I will not talk about it...

Anywayz, so I sold my 350Z and got another car.. the one I have right now. An Evo X.

It was a sweet deal I got from a guy who lived outside chicago, who didn't know the value of the car!

I've had my Evo X for about a year and a half and it's not a car... it's a freaking MACHINE!

In the streets it's a nice car but it truely shines when it's pushed to do what it's made to do.

To Race!

Next blog I will post what mods I've done to the car and a dyno sheet from AMS!
