Hm... Let see... I'm Indonesian, currently staying in WA for school. Been here for almost 3 years and lovin it (even tho it rains a lot). I just got into photography and I found it to be relaxing. I'm also addicted to shoes; I just couldn't stop buying em. The latest addition to my hobbies is fishing... Christian really had me hooked!
I LOVE Sushi, I HATE high places (no skydiving please!!)
For this so-called import scene, my brother and my best friend first introduced me to the "car-world" when I was still in middleschool. From there on, I always dreamed on having my own modded-car. The very first car that I had was a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant; start putting a $30 fart can and spent $10 to cut the stock springs and slammed it to the ground. I was really happy with my car back then, even tho it only plays cassette :) I finally got a chance to own a GT-S Celica a year later, which happened to be my first real project car. I did a lot of research on what I should do to the car. Almost everything that I put on the car are JDM parts except I installed underglow lights on the car (thanks to F&F!). The first big carshow I attended was a success. It was such a great feeling when my name was called to pick up my first trophy at the carshow! (I got "The Coolest JDM car"). After my first carshow, I was given the opportunity by my friend to help him building his show car. My friend's car won the Best-of-Show at HIN Indonesia. It was the beginning of my career as a car-builder. I also started my own car club called {GravitY} with couple of my best friends and it was nominated as one of the best carclub in Indonesia. *couple years later* I moved to Seattle, WA for my study back in late-2004. I was driving my brother's Boxster while I was looking for another project car. I took home a Subaru WRX STi on Summer 2005. I just finished the version 1 of my STi and about to move on to the version 2; took me almost two years to finished my design for version 2. Since the project will take a while, a 1989 Nissan Skyline GTR will accompany me. both of em are my warriors. I also meet a lot of great guys that taught me lots and lots of new stuff! Not only bout cars, but something more important that's called "Family". Some of them are Christian Coujin, Randy Stirm, Jeff Miller, and Doug Smith. My goal right now is to finish my project, and working my way up so I will be able to build cars for other people and companies. Thank you for reading this little story of mine. Viva la Modification!!!
