Re: OCZC The manifold Builder past away Last Night
it really sucks that someone so influencial could die like that. no one deserves to die at 170 mph. part of me feel like it was a dumb move to drive that fast, but part of me feels it must of been one hell of a ride.
Our prayers go out to all those HMT'ers who lost there lives way to soon...

Re: OCZC The manifold Builder past away Last Night
This is Tom , the oczc's tuner. (sorry i copy and pasted most of this from the the other thread, i could barely make it through the previous post)
The past few days have been mind boggling, i don't know what i'm going to do w/o him. We spent so much time eating oc, and just building cars. His fabrication was the best around, hes the reason i got into the tuning business. I've only tuned cars that he did the fabrication on, so i'm kinda wondering what i'm going to do w/o him.
He and i loved oc more than anything, we always talked about owning our own panda express with an auto shop right behind it, so we could have all the oc we wanted while building the fastest cars around. So in memory i drove all the way to florida where they had a grand opening of a panda express. i had a double order of oc but just wasn't the same him. I sat there and pondered what to do. I think i'm going have to start eating asain chow, the pandas just not the same w/o him.
BUT.....
I have decided that i'm going to finish any projects that he started or promised to do. We never did any of this for the money, look at all of the free ---- he gave away.
The guy who owns the quad turbo viper that we were using as the chase/video car when the oczc died has donated a bunch money so we can keep the spirit of what the oczc did alive.
If anyone wants to put some RIP OCZC stickers on their ride lmk, i'm going to try to do my best do the same type of deals that oczc did before.

Tom it was great meeting you at PRI last year, shame oczc couldn't come with you. I'm glad to hear you're carrying on in oczc's spirit! You are truly one of the finest tuners in the world, and I appreciate all the things you have done to help me advance in my tuning passion.
Respect.

I'm thinking maybe of having people take pics of themselves with R.I.P OCZC stickers if they want some free/ high discounted stuff.
