Let's find out more about the car he owns now and the plans he has for the future...
What garages do you use to perform the work on your car?
All work is carried out by myself, at home, in my spare time.
Are you attending any car shows in 2017?
Yes 'JAE' Japanese Auto Extravaganza.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to modify their car for the first time?
Plan your goals first, as mistakes can be costly. Also, check to make sure your insurance company will cover the modifications before carrying out the work.
If money was no option what car would you buy?
It would have to be a Ferrari f355, simply because it's been my dream car from when I was a teenager.
Do you have any plans to further modify your car?
I plan to add a few more custom-cosmetic parts. I'd like to possibly add a re-map aswell, to tweak the set-up. Right now, the car is pretty much where I wanted it to be anyway.
