A few words from Ryan:

"I love cars and racing. So much that I turned my hobby into my day job and I’ve been an automotive technician for almost 13 years now. I’ve worked for Chevy, Honda and currently Toyota, but my love for Honda’s has never left me. In fact, most everyone that knows me, knows my love for cars and my job fixing them. I’ve been modifying my Honda’s since the day I brought my first car home. The rest is history. I’ve had Civics, an Integra, a TSX , a CRX and an S2000. My '18 Si is probably my favorite so far though. It is the most fun daily I’ve ever owned by a long shot.

When I bought it used from the dealership I work for, I was surprised to find out that I actually did the pre delivery inspection on this exact vehicle when I worked for Honda and the previous owner was a good friend of mine and knew I had to have this well taken care of gem. I purchased it on my birthday less than a year ago and it’s been nothing but smiles since. Other than the wheels, the best mod I’ve done to it is the KTuner with the TSP stage 1 Tune. It really brings the car to life and makes the driving experience that much more fun. All of this and still gets almost 40 mpg.

Future plans for the exterior of the car include: 2020 Fog Light and Rear Garnishes, Mugen Lip and Side Skirts, Touring Style LED Headlights and Honda Access Yellow Fogs. Performance wise, possibly an intercooler and a clutch, but mainly suspension work - i.e. sway bars, bushings, chassis bracing, and wider tires as I plan to dive headfirst into auto cross when the 2021 season kicks off.

Lastly I’d like to thank some people:

First and foremost my wife, Heather, for putting up with my car/racing addiction and actually supporting me in my photography and car endeavors. My parents for always encouraging me to follow my passion and do what I love. My long time homies Kris (@curlynoodleksb) , Jeremy (@officialjeremysanchez) and Wes (@hot_wheels_wes) for taking pictures, keeping me motivated, and always pushing me to progress my car and photography. And lastly all my friends and followers on IG. Everyone has been so supportive and constantly flood me with compliments. It really is humbling that my car and taste is noticed by you guys.

Thank you!"
