I have been anticipating his car's un-veiling for a loooong time, but sadly no progress.


Joking aside Chris, I wish there were a way for us to see you at meets again and especially with your car.

We miss you.

Here's a rare pic of Neo's car back in 2002.


Current whereabouts ? ? ?

anyway, it was such a great time, couple of us chatting in the garage at 2am in the morning, with 4-5 2gs outside

Here's an Interesting shot of us gassing up after showing at HIN in 2004. We we're all on 1/8 full tanks, it was probably past 1am and no other gas stations nearby.




Front Right - Neo with his back to the picture
Front Left - Synergy
Rear Right - Rominl
Rear Left - Indgogrl




Neo is another ex-NorCal member who now resides in the Greater LA area.

This just goes to show you what CL is ALL about, helping others by sharing information and providing them with inspiration.

In this case I guess I've contributed to the development of your car to the highest standards by far.

You've come a long way and I see you continue to take it the next level.

Keep it up bro.

Wow I even had a different of spelling back than . Haha great keep Glen, I really enjoyed reading that old pm, and I still remember you helping me cuz I wanted the rmm kit so bad. Just goes to show how this site always has and hopefully always will work.

I dont know if CamRen (RIP) has been mentioned but he was a long time member hailing from Las Vegas. Jay from SoCal used to own a Korean BBQ restaurant and host meets down here is another long time member whose always been super helpful! I dont think he posted as much as other members but was always one of the most helpful people at the meets. His GS has always been an inspiration to me. I loved the Agio Star wheels.

Yes im happy that someone mentioned his name, he had a sick car bro.. his parents still have the car, they refuse to part out (some members out here asked his parents) and i think time to time they may drive the car, one of the members spotted his car a WHILE back... that was the last ive seen it

Default GSintensive

GSintensive's 2002 GS430

These are shots of his car back in Sept 2002.
Wei was at the cutting edge, being one of the few at that time to sport 20" rims and especially the Work Equip Superchrome's.
Other pioneering mods over the years:
Weapon R intake/ECU package
JP Taillights
Explosion Front
Lsportline Rear/Sides/Roof spoiler/Exhaust
TRD LCB/Sways
Cusco rear STB









The car was bought by Yegor_Khv in Dec 2006. The car remained basically intact except the front end which now has a TTE lip.

Here it is for sale in a used car lot.




Rumor has it that Wei returned to his home country after graduating from UC Berkeley.
He's still lurkin but not posting, but perhaps we'll hear from him if he reads this.

Ok, that's why I reported it as a rumor (non-confirmed).

I know the new owner tried to PM him and got no response.

I know he's lurking about, so maybe he'll chime in.
