I have felt this is long overdue, I want everyone on here to know who I am and what I do. At times I am sure it's assumed that I just list adds and post items for you all to buy. I want everyone to know that It is much more than that and I apologize for not making that clear from the start.

My name is Jacob Foster, I have dealt with and would call myself friends with quite a few of you on here. I have been into Honda's since I was 6 years when my dad bought his 1991 Prelude Si - White - Blue Cloth, it was and is still jaw-dropping. By the time I was 15 I had saved enough money to buy an old Fixer Upper CVCC (Pale Blue). I was in Heaven. As life went on and I got older I continued to stick with Honda, I am VERY meticulous and picky, I want the One-Owner, Low Mile, a Stock car that is very difficult to find. In High school I found my First Electron Blue 00' SI, I spent all of my time finding the authentic parts that I wanted, Mugen, Spoon, whatever it may be. I have owned Several EM1's / DC2 / EK Hatch / Prelude SH / S2000 / RSX-S / Mugen SI. I have always gone back to hondas because I love them and I can't explain to others why I am so drawn to them, I just have a deep love for these cars. I could go into so much more detail on my life and how these cars have always made me happy and gotten me through life, but I don't think everyone wants to hear all of this.

I just want everyone to know that I am here to help with ANYTHING you need help with, Questions, Parts, anything. I am not your typical salesman who is only out for the money, yes I do make a living doing this, but I know that I will always do whatever I can to get you the BEST price, Most vendors don't have the knowledge and just know how to convince you to buy. I want you to be happy and get exactly what you want, This is supposed to be FUN and that is how I see it. I strive to keep it that way.

If any of you have any questions or need advice don't hesitate to ask me. I am just as much of an enthusiast as you.

If anyone would like to see pictures of the cars, Just ask, I am open book and just want to be involved in the community. I don't want to be seen as a vendor out to make sales, I am here to help anyone who needs it and get you the best deal I can on whatever it is you are looking for.

I flew into Phoenix on September 19th and decided to go by Vivid Racing before heading to Flagstaff. I had a good visit. Tyler came and talked to me about different components tuning, etc since I'm an old dog learning about Hondas. Then Bryant gave me the nickle tour. Very cool. There was a very nice Audi R8 in the back. Even bought a tshirt while I was there. I can see doing more business with them in the future.

Very cool. I've been in the market for wheels and you've helped me a few times in chat. I still haven't made up my mind and will probably bug you a few more times before I finally make up my mind :D

Jacob do you guys sell Hondata? How's your pricing on oem access parts compared to the honda dealers like college hills? I'd be more than happy to support you, but I don't really plan on many mods outside of some oem pieces.

Unfortunately, I don't sell Hondata. I offer KTuner as well as our VRTuned ECU Flash which is a custom map, I would check it out, it is all adjusted & tuned based on your modifications, much better than a base MAP from KTuner or Hondata. Our stock baseline runs the Type R put down 249whp and 257wtq. After tuning we were able to gain 64whp and 81wtq putting the overall to 313whp and 338wtq.

You can view our testing here:

I can get OEM Honda parts, but dealers will always have the best margin in it, they don't leave me a lot of room. Feel free to ask, I will always see what I can do to get you the best cost.

I appreciate the response. On the VRtuned ECU, do you custom tune my car or is it an off-the-shelf flash? I'm about 100 miles from you, so it'd be a day trip for me.

Thanks!

It is still an ECU Flash, It will be designed for the modifications on your car. Yes, it is a custom Tune File we adjust to your vehicle. It is not a Dyno Tune though.

These are much better / safer than any off the shelf base map other tuning solutions offer.

Right on. Can I just swing by and have it done while there?
