My earliest memories as a child have all been car-related from going to the Drag races, getting picked up every day at school in a 1967 Ford Mustang to working underneath my dad’s 1970 Oldsmobile cutlass. At this point in my childhood, we had owned a 1967 Ford Mustang, 1968 Ford Mustang, 1992 5.0 convertible Mustang, and a 1970 Oldsmobile cutlass. So you can say I was born with motor oil running through my veins! My biggest inspirers where my parents, they would continue to motivate me to do better and to chase my passion with working and modifying cars so I did and the outcome has been more than rewarding!

I turned my passion for working on cars into a career right after high school when I started working for an auto body shop as a painter’s helper and excelled on becoming a body technician. I have fixed and worked on many cars but there was one car I had the opportunity of repairing that blew me out of the water! The pure rawness yet exhilarating feeling of a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 at this point I was hooked and it became my dream car.

A year after experiencing and driving an Evolution I had Moved to Anchorage, Alaska and started working at a Subaru Dealership, my wife and I were expecting our first child and in desperate need of a four-door family car after looking for another 6 months we had come across A 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX SE (My dream car) with 4,000 miles on it, after inquiring about the vehicle it turned out a 75-year-old man had owned it and was on consignment at a lot! Nothing had been done to it fully stock still had the new car smell, at the time of purchase I really couldn’t afford the car financially but my wife looked at me and said we will make it happen don’t worry! 

After making my last payment on my Evolution IX SE I had started to modify it to my liking! I had built this car all in my garage, I fully built the motor with a long rod set up using Wiseco pistons, Manley I-beam rods, ACL race bearings, ported cylinder head titanium valve springs with retainers, 274 GSC cam’s, ported stock intake manifold and exhaust manifold, GT3582r Precision turbo, ETS front mount with ETS short route charge pipes, Tial bov, HKS Turbo-back exhaust. The transmission is a fully built jacks trans with Exedy triple disk clutch. The Suspension is a full Airlift 3H System with dual compressors and a 5 gallon brushed aluminium tank, full GT Spec under bracing, fender bracing, and trunk bracing. Exterior consist of Work D9R wheels with Hankook Ventus v12 evo2 tires, APR carbon fibre front splitter, Rexpeed carbon fibre side skirt extensions, Rexpeed carbon fibre rear bumper extensions, Seibon carbon fibre hood, HIC rear window deflector, and STOCK OEM tarmac black paint the car has never been repainted. The interior of the Evo is the next on the list to concentrate on currently I have the stock OEM Recaro seats with Nardi detachable deep corn suede steering wheel 330mm, Prosport fully digital gauges with AEM uego wide band, Double din entertainment system with JL audio speakers. The headliner A, B, and C pillars will soon be all Alcantara with red accent stitching. My future plans for this car is endless the only thing I will not do is ruin the perfect body of a Mitsubishi Evolution IX (wide body). Always remember why stop when you can do better and don’t only motivate yourself and motivate others around you! My goal for the car has always been the same SIMPLY CLEAN!
