Ok here's the scoop guys. For those of you wondering...when PASMAG decided they wanted to feature my car, all they requested from me was professional pictures of the car, a complete mods list and history of any previous project cars I've worked on (I told them about me and my twin brothers' Celica). That's all they asked for and that's all I gave them.
I didn't tell PASMAG anything about how long I've owned the car or how much I spent on it. PASMAG was the one who wrote the whole article. I didn't tell them that I spent years and tens of thousands of dollars on the car. They were the ones that wrote that. I don't have control over what they write in their magazine. They wrote the whole article from scratch and published it that way. Believe me, if I could have changed the article, I would have.
As for the build on this G35, this car was mostly built byR yan in Florida. I just sold my WRX at the time and saw this G35 was for sale. I decided to buy it off him because I've always wanted a G35. I liked what he did with the car, so I bought the car and decided to finish it off to my liking. I didn't say anywhere that I did everything on this car.
The upgrades I did to the car after I got it was:
-I got the engine rehauled with fully built internals (Arias Pistons, Eagle Forged Rods, Crower Cams, Crower Valve Springs, Darton Sleeves, ARP studs etc etc)
-I changed the engine management system as well.
-I got the car professionally dyno tuned at a shop in the States
-I got Al @ Phat Rides to do the whole custom audio/video install in the trunk.
-I did a valve body upgrade on the tranny.
-I changed the test pipes on the exhaust
-I also did a few exterior and interior modifications too.
All of these upgrades I did to this car cost me a lot of money. Plus, add on top of this, the amount I paid for the car. So overall, this car cost me a lot of money and time as well.
I never once said that I did everything on the car. I just wanted to finish it off and make the car my own. This car is still under construction.
Hope this clears things up.
Anyways, thanks for the comments guys! I didn't expect the car to be featured in a magazine. They approached me and why would I decline this opportunity? Just wanted to give you guys my side of the story.
