Greetings from San Jose, CA

[batosai]

Peace and good day folks! For those of you of Pilipino heritage & speak/read Tagalog, I say "kamusta mga pards", which roughly means "wassup Boss" LOL I was informed about this site by my good friiend & fellow car enthusiast Mr. Edwin "Ed" Rodriguez. I will hopefully be purchasing my first 1st gen Celica soon & would be utilizing this site & it's members to assist me in learning and enjoying my future purchase. Though I may be a newb to the site, I've been involved w/cars & the import scene for quite some time, so I'm no greenhorn...lol Hope to hear from others here @ the site & maybe even meeting some of you on one of the meets/shows/benefits/etc that I attend with my team (TeamREV aka Revolution Motorsports) shameless plug...heheheh.
Anyway, my apologies for the long intro! My thanks for your patience & also your time.

Thank you! I frequent the Fremont area as well as Union City, and Newark. Especially since our team's sponsor (FFTec) is based off near Union City. Maybe you can attend the cars and food truck meet in Logan HS every Tuesday nite. I plan to be there at least once a week minimum because it's put together by a good friend of mine, Ernesto. Anyways, looking forward to meeting you as well, and hope to hear from you soon. Btw, what year is your Celica?

[superrandomguy]

FFtec...Full function? The (primarily) DSM shop? Haha I've been there quite a few times back when my buddy and i owned GSXs , Sean over there is quite the guru . I was trying to figure out why teamREV sounded familiar!

Yea i'd definitely like to hang out at a Logan HS area meet some time.

I have a '74 GT, in the process of upgrading various things and installing a 2rz Tacoma motor. I'll see ya around eventually i'm sure.

Boss nice meeting u today.. car look nice enjoy ur new seat..

Salamat (many thanks) Sir, it was great meeting you folks as well! The seat wasn't actually as bad as I thought it would be....lol I guess my posterior has enough cushion so it doesn't hurt my back.

Also, big THANKS to Santos for installing the seat, power tools make jobs waaay easier...coz I know if I was doing the manual way I might as well.
And also, great meeting Mr JD today over at Yuba City and big THANKS to you as well.

One and the same, yup! I used to own an evo8 until circumstances forced me to return it to the bank. But like I said, I don't miss the evo all that much, plus I don't miss having to pay extra just for it to "pass" smog, and w/ the Celica...what effin' smog?! Forgetaboutit!! The lads in blue actually leave me alone even as I pass by.
