My dad owned a first gen Prelude, and as my first car, he bought me a 2nd gen Prelude. I crashed that and bought a 3rd gen Prelude. I sold it to a friend (who sold it to another friend who built it up and has been in Honda Tuning), so naturally I wanted the 4th gen Prelude. My friend Steve who's Prelude was in Honda Tuning was selling his car, but my dad wouldn’t let me buy it because it was modified. So he ended up buying me the '04 Accord. The first thing he told was “do not modify it,” because I had modified my previous cars.


First thing I did was drop it and put some rims on it. AEM sponsored me on a V2 intake. Slowly I added the OEM kit and a system. Then my friend told me about SEMA and that his company was going to it. He said people get a lot of sponsors if they go to SEMA, so I hit up all these companies and the parts just started flying in. Next thing I knew want not turbo the car? So I hit up Garrett and I got the turbos, then the intercooler from Yonaka. My friend built the set up originally but it was not very good, properly cause I paid him in Red Bulls, lol.

 I received sponsorship from Soundstream so I had to get the system installed and I only had a month to get the engine running and system.  The shop I went to did a complete “Mickey Mouse” job and then M1 didn’t have time to paint the car so I missed SEMA. Car ran like crap so my friend told me about Evolution Racewerks, Fred fixed all the leaks and got the car running, now I had to redo the system cause the 1st did a bad job so I found a shop that was famous for doing interiors/systems.  Little did I know the guy was going out of business and he stole parts from my car and other customer cars. So I made it to SEMA but I missed CES.

         

The car needed tuning so I took it to a shop that worked on Suburus and Lancers but they said they could do Hondas, another bad job. I was introduced by Xtreme Image from my buddy Mike who owns Idesigns and they both got my stereo working/looking proper. So now system is the way it should be but the car still needs tuning. A couple of my buddies, Shaun and Peter are running super charged, meth injection 7th gen V6s and referred me to Shaun owner of Church Automotive. Shaun got the car running properly.


I want everyone to know this car is built by a Indian, so Simpsons being one of my favorite shows and the last 3 letters of my last name being “apu” I named my car KWKEMRT (Kwik-E-Mart). If you go to shows in So Cal hit me up, I will be wearing my Kwik-E-Mart shirt and Bart Simpson will be riding shot gun.
