PAS: How long have you been a car enthusiast?
Owner: For almost about 10 years now. I really got interested into the scene around the time I turned 13 years old.
PAS: What was the first vehicle you ever owed? Did you modify it? If so, what modifications were performed?
Owner: My first car was a 1994 Acura Integra LS. At 16 years old, it was hard to do the modifications I wanted to do being a high school student and all, but I was able to get 17鈥� rims, cross drilled and slotted rotors, JDM TypeR transmission and clutch with a lightened flywheel, lowered with Koni yellows.
PAS: Are you a shop owner, work at a shop or have been previously? Describe your experience(s)
Owner: I used to work with Fifth Gear Auto Sound & Performance and more recently with Frankie at 20Hz Audio. I will still work on my car there from time to time and the guys there are a great help. I loved working in the industry too, but found for me that it was more of a hobby than a career. I鈥檓 still very involved but not to the level I previously was.
PAS: 鈥淎ll Show鈥�, 鈥淎ll Go鈥� or both? Why?
Owner: I like to say both, but more 鈥渟how鈥� for the time being. This is my daily driver and for me to turbo or supercharge it would be pointless for me at this point. Right now I have my bolt-ons that add power to a great engine and once I get my flashpro with a few more bolt-ons I鈥檒l have plenty of power for a daily driven vehicle.
WHAT DO PAS EDITORS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS RIDE?
With a combination of night hawk black pearl and championship white factory Honda paint colours, how can you go wrong? This car definitely has some true JDM feelings to it with a bunch of Type R parts borrowed from the Civic and Integra. With a deadly paint combination matched with JDM red Recaro's borrowed from an Integra Type R we choose Adam's car as the Top Reader Ride because its got a unique flow that you don't often on an 8th gen Civic. To get into PAS Mag, Adam needs to do a bit more engine mods and add some extra ponies to that k20 engine locked up in his daily driver.
