I built my car from the ground up. I'm the one that designed the car, GM ripped me off.

I do everything myself.

Saturday night a guy in a blue turbo integra tried to get me to run. He said he had a shop professionally do all the work and that he hasn't touched it. I told him to let the shop drive it.

this is the way i look at it, if you have a shop install your intake then you have no want to learn anything about cars but just fit in. hell, i have never taken a course or had anyone teach me how, i just watched then tried it myself. for some of the harder things i have had to read up online or in a book. to me its just trial n error.

i say 4 years ago when i got my first car, i was a ricer and didn't know shit, but now i can have my motor out and also re-build it all by my lonesome. however, that is my car, that doesn't mean i can do any car. i can work on any d, b or h series car. don't really know anything about k series or mitubishi or anything else at all, but that doesn't mean i can't learn.

all i am saying is that you either have enough interest to try shit on your own or even take a class. but to the people who take their car in to get every little thing done........to me you get no respect, the more you have just means you have more money, and to me money doesn't=resect.

but i can understand if you just don't have time and need to make it to work everyday. but just try do do at least somethings. trust me, it feels pretty good when you can say you did it yourself and you did a damn good job.

I do my own work unless I don't have the tools or time, then I will have a buddy do it or help.

I don't touch my car. It was hard finding someone that would. Luckily I did. And he's cheap. LOL

The only thing I don't do by myself is painting and ecu's. I am currently working on learning both of those. I've just always watched my pops and got my hands on anything I could. Still learning as much as I can while he can still do this shit!

I'm sure it is quick, but I've got plenty of robot to go around.

Yes, it was the one with black rims.
