Smile New Introduction – Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone! My name is Steve and I picked up my 08’ ISF in December of 2013 (stock). I’ve been lurking on the forum’s ever since but decided to finally introduce myself. I daily drive the ISF and it has been such a fun car. It has a nice balance of luxury and performance that I haven’t found in other four door sedans. For many years I have been (and still am) an active member in the NSX community and am happy to see that the ISF community shares the same level of respect and passion for their cars. You all seem like super cool, down to earth people!

I told myself I wasn’t going to mod this car and was able to make it 16 months without doing so. However, in May the mod bug bit and now the car has a Joe Z exhaust and intake, yellow painted calipers, CF rear window spoiler, Wald replica rear spoiler (just installed last week) and a Apexi throttle controller that I just purchased today from member Biggu (thanks Biggu!). Next up, wheels and suspension, but that will probably take some time as I am super picky about my wheels.

I’m located in Southern California and can’t wait to meet many of you in person at local meet ups!

Sorry, but this is the only pic that I have at the moment. I’ll post a more updated one later….

-Steve

Nice ISF. May need to check your rear wheels. Think they are mounted backwards.

LOL… you are absolutely correct. I keep meaning to change them but have been lazy.

A belated congratulations on your F! Where in So Cal are you located? There are numerous guys/gals clustered in either the SGV or OC, so depending on your area, it might be fun to get together with some locals, trade info and really get better acquainted with the car and the F community. A few guys, including myself, are in the SGV, and I'm always trying to get together local members at any given time to just introduce ourselves to new owners and just shoot the breeze some.
