So you have an accord, what do you want to do with it? Leave it stock? But nope, at least not for Jay. This new ACHi member is stepping up real fast. I almost forgot how his accord look liked when i first met him in Waikele shopping center. I just did a recent interview with him and here how it goes:
Name: Jay Owens
Age: 21 legal haha
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois
Ron: Hey Wassap Jay! First of all thanks for letting me showcase you in ACHi's first member profile! I seen you just did some major changes with your accord. When did you start messing up with your accord brah?
Jay: Well pare I first started tuning da kine in march of 08. I have been tuning hondas since I was a kid. Growing up in a filipino house really got me into the tuner world along with the filipino lifestyle and culture. I guess thats why all my friends are asian or local hahas. After 8months of being on island I got deployed which there I planned out how i want the CG to sit.
Ron: I see that your are stepping up real fast, what were changes have you done recently to your CG? What pushes you to keep modding her?
Jay: Recently I got a jade black metallic paint job from mercedes to give the cg a real unique look when you glance at it. I also threw on some Tenzo DC-5's to tuck clean with the coillovers. Added a rear lip to evenly match the car all around and an oem rear spoiler. My motivation to keep dumping $$$ into her is that I want my cg to be so unique and different from all the other tuners you see worldwide. And plus I have plenty haters ya so that always keeps me motivated to keep her sexy.
And I love getting in my car and just thinking about the day I bought her all junk.
Ron: What are you future plans for your Accord? Engine swap? Boost perhaps?
Jay: For the future, I would have to say cf hood and fenders, race seats, and jdm h22 type s motor and maybe a lambo door kit just for kicks...and boost is definitely to come. And to keep her unique!
Ron: In the future lets just say you are done with your accord, what car are you planning on getting next?
Jay: Well, I would have to say after my next deployment to Afghanistan Im going to get a s2k. I just have always wanted one..so classy and aggressive at the same time.OMG orgasm hehe =) But dont worry Musubi isn't going anywhere.
Ron: Do you have any inspirations that you have that helped you build your accord?
Jay: My parents. As I was raised to be very independent, along the way they always told me you have to work hard and sacrifice for things you want in life and never say never which has never led me in the wrong direction.
Ron: Aside from having inspirations, what obstacles did you have to go through in order for you to keep modding your CG?
Jay: For one, they like deploy me right after i buy the cg. So all the modding got put on hold. the car needed new paint and body was all shot. So to fix everything and to have what i have now im so blessed and grateful for what I have been able to accomplish. and two, to make it back to hawaii in one piece is always a blessing.
Ron: I see that you have been very active since you join ACHi, what can you suggest to help improve our club?
Jay: We have a great group of members. But I would love to see more of them. Maybe like more outings and ordering chicken katsu!!!
Ron: Did you want to say mahalo to anybody out there that might have help you with your accord? Go ahead and give shout outs man!
Jay: Yeah I would like to thank Ron for meeting me and giving me a shot. Jimmy for the reccomendations. Hi-Tech Motorsports, Autoland, Maaco, Nu Image, members of ACHI, my dad, and last but definitely not least, GOD for blessing me with the oppurtunity to do what I love.
